Do you have a need for a floor?? Not many do. Looks like s lot of work to set up, but I didn't watch the video.
My fronkey's stay on my hammock, so when the hammock's hung I'm done.
Made my own fronkey, it's pretty easy if you have some sewing experience. If I couldn't have made it I probably would have bought it from Dutch. Weighs practically nothing and is very simple.
Ya it's tough to beat the Fronkey net for ease of access. It should also weigh alot less than the other you posted.
I agree with all of the above: complicated to set up, extremely heavy (22.5 ounces for a bug net?!!!!! Okay, a bug net and a floor. I'll give you that much.)
But it only comes in white--NOT very easy to see through. If you buy or make your own Fronkey-style bug net, use black netting. It's the easiest color to see through.
Good question! Best of luck to you!!!

Mountains have a dreamy way

In quiet covers, cool and gray.

Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.
Surely, God never did.
I am lazy, I would buy the Fronkey style from Dutch and be done with it.

I'd go with the Fronkey.
However if you backpack with dogs the amazon net or one like it might be a consideration.
Happy hanging!
The weight of the amazon one is about the same as my hammock, tarp, and bugnet combined. I vote fronkey, but then, I backpack.
But the dog mention above is very valid.
