Great price if anyone is in the market. CamelCamelCamel shows it as the lowest Amazon price ever for it.

Hard to beat this deal. I may get it for my 10 year old daughter as it has a net. Thanks for the heads up.

Isn't that always the case...just bought one for $60 last week and I thought that was a deal...smh

Did you pay with a credit card? My MasterCard gives me the difference if something is less expensive in 90 days of purchase. I just got a statement credit for $30 for a floor jack I bought from sears and they sold cheaper on Black Friday. I think discover card does something similar. Might be worth looking into if you used plastic. I've had probably $200 over the last couple years refunded through the service.

I've never noticed it before, but I'll look into it. Thanks!

Hey, question: Ive used several hammocks but never this one, and it looks like a STEAL! but it is 30 oz with all the gear included. Questions:
1. Has anybody every modded this to lighten it up? Like whoopies, amsteel, etc? And how much weight did you save?
2. Also I like ridgelines, and I'd make on for install (and trim that bug net). Are the ends channeled or knotted? (for continuous loops, tie-on for FRL, etc)

Lastly, anybody know a final weight in a modded state? Thanks!

For comparison purposes, my current bugnet dl hammock is about 22 oz. If I could lose 8-10 oz it may be worth it to me

I took the stock suspension off of one and put on whoopies. I comes in right at 23 oz. Might be able to save another oz or 2, if you remove the sewn on stuff sack and replace with a sack out of 1.1 ripstop or sil. I don't think you'll get it much lighter than that.

Thanks! I think it's is a good deal at that price, since my non-bugnet hammock is about 17 oz and adding a bugnet to that adds about another 7-8 oz or so. And definitely get rid of the stuff sack.

Cool. I have a set of whoopies lying around I don't know what to do with anyway!

Thx again.
