Hello HF members,
Has anyone had a chance to test out the Gear Best Nylon hammock? It seems like an unbelievable deal. For only $15 you get a great looking hammock that comes with webbing suspension. This looks like it would be an ideal starter hammock for sure. I was just wondering if anyone has had a chance to test one of these out before?

The website is entertaining.

I'm glad that nylon fabric is no hurt for my health, but I'm wondering about the anti-dust properties of this hammock.
I suspect those are nylon straps, though the website doesn't say.

That sounds like "chinglish" to me.

Package Contents
Package Contents: 1 x Hammock, 2 x Tying Rope, 2 x Stainless Buckle
Doesn't say anything about straps.
I'd rather be hanging.
I wouldn't give them my CC number !
Length is 8'-10 1/8", width is 4'-5 1/16" and its just over 3/8" thick? (.375" = 3/8")Product size (L x W x H) : 270.0 x 135.0 x 1.0 cm / 106.11 x 53.05 x 0.39 inches
Length alone makes it a non starter for anybody other than short folks and children.
Might make a good gear hammock.

Their BRS 3000 stove is the steal of the century - no kidding. I have two.
That stove is really a hit at backpackinglight.com. Some person affiliated with that company posts their latest deals there, but other than the stove, they kinda get shouted down.
