Hammock for the fiancee (some tough requirements)

[Xtrm tj]

Dutchware 11 ft. hammock and Fronkey bugnet. I ordered an olive green Dutch PolyD 1.4 hammock with Dutch Whoopie Hook suspension on Monday and received it on Saturday.

+1 Dutchware. I just ordered 2 10.5 hexon 1.6 hammocks one with knotty mod along with a complete tarp pole mod diy items on a Sunday and received on Wednesday.

Dutch is just as fast imo, but the gear is top quality. And you support a Made in USA business that is well respected. This is a no brainier I think.

Dutchware is really good, you can purchase a bug net at Grand Trunk as well. I would go with a Skeeter Beeter Pro from Grand Trunk and a pair of Trunk Straps and some Caribeaners. Easy and mosquito free.

If you are set on ENO gear and have an REI nearby, their ENO hammocks are 25% off. By cutting this so close, you've put yourself in sort of a bind. So next time, plan for a bit more research/preparation. For example, even if you have a bug net, if they are really that bad, you will hear them screaming to get in. If you had time, you could get some permethrin and treat the netting. The net will keep them out and the permethrin will keep them at a distance.

For lounging, we use a hammock with spreader bars. Or a cheapie gathered end hammock and put an outdoor lounge chair pad in it. Fortunately, flying critters aren't much of a problem at home. If they were, I'd use a third party zip open net - something like the ENO suggested in an earlier post. If this is at a cabin, you could get one of the larger rectangular nets and rig up some suspension. That would create a small "room", an outside sanctuary that would keep the critters off AND at a distance (so you don't hear them).

How did it work out for you? I forgot to mention; bring wine (and chocolates).

I sleep in a Simply Light Designs Trail Lair hammock, which I love, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It has a really nice retractable zippered bug net integral to it, and it is super comfortable. It is made to order in your choice of fabrics and available in both single- and double-layer versions. SLD's owner Jared is a true craftsman, and the longest he's taken on any of my orders -- from inception to delivery in my mailbox -- has been 96 HOURS... Seriously, the guy is a miracle worker, and his gear is great.

If you need to order from Amazon prime, I would recommend the Hammock Bliss sky bed. That is where i got mine from.
