i have a netted one, works pretty good slept a couple nights in it so far and lounge in it, strong enough for me and my wife to both lounge in.

That depends on what you are looking for. The quality of construction on mine isn't as good as my old ENO DN or any of the hammocks I have from cottage vendors like Dutchwaregear.com or Wildernesslogics.com but I also wouldn't say it will fall apart after only a few uses. I think the Yukon Outfitters on sale aren't a terrible way to go but their listed lengths are way off, I think they include the countinuous loops on the end of the hammocks as part of the listed length. My 11.5' Yukon Double measures closer to 9'10" of actual fabric. It is, however, plenty wide if that is what you want. I think these are a great value (at the sale price) for kids or shorter people, especially the hammocks with integrated bug nets. Having said that, I'd rather spend a few bucks more on a hammock from Dutchwaregear.com or BIAS. You'll get a better hammock for only slightly more money. I'll only ever use my Yukon hammock as a beater around the yard or to let the kids play in as I don't want them to ruin my better hammocks. Additionally, they are much heavier and bulkier than what I'd want to carry backpacking... YMMV

My first and possibly favorite non-sleeping-in hammock is the double yukon I got on this sale last year.

I just ordered one for a trial hammock. I'm a total noob but at least this will be an inexpensive way to see if I like it or not. I've wasted more money on worse stuff if it doesn't work out.

I'm in the same boat as you. If nothing else it will give me an idea of what I want in my next hammock.
