    Woot offers these things for a limited time and then they run out. They later will run again. My wife has a Woot offered Yukon Outfitters Mosquito hammock found in the open box area for $17.99. Best of all, it had never been opened it was still sealed in the plastic. Woot does not have a search mechanism but here is one from outside of Woot. http://www.wootstalker.com/

    Woot offers the Yukon Outfitters every month or so it seems. However, even my 5'6 teen daughter thinks it's too short. Maybe if she'd never tried anything else.

    I was able to do a search of Woot directly from the Google results list.

    I used a equip single for about a year. With whoopie slings and a ridge line I was plenty comfortable. My 65lb pointer would sleep in it with me. It was pretty much bomb-proof, but heavy. For the $20 I spent on it it was worth it.
    I haven't seen the bug-net version. Anyone tried one?

    I'd quote a certain book, but that is not allowed.

    Yea I'd love to see an integrated bug net version of both Dutch and Walmart. I would admittedly be more likely to buy the Dutch one though

    I started with a hennessy, used it for a year. Then I started looking into lightening the pack, and got an eno for winter use. Eno felt roomier and I liked being able to sit in it sideways like a chair, plus my hennessy tarp worked great with it. I modified both hammocks to use whoopie slings, so the same set of tree straps works with both. I tried making my own hammock out of some tie-dye fabric, and found I liked it even more than the eno. This past year I started spring/summer hiking a little more, and upgraded to a Hammeck Netty, using my own fabric that I tie-dyed. WORLD of difference over the hennessy in comfort. It's longer, lighter, and the netting zips open so I can reach my pack or lay sideways and eat breakfast or dinner. The hennessy tarps (large hex fly or large asym silnylon) both work fine over it. My hammocks cost around $40-50 to make, with straps, slings and dye, so I'd say that's cheap. The Netty was around $80 since I provided my own fabric.

    As far as camping hammocks go, I started with a WBBB. I used ENOs before that, but that was just for flying back and forth from the Middle East. I've definitely strayed to the simpler side of life. I prefer a homemade gathered end with a fronkey style net to the Bkackbird now. I had a roaming Gnome too. Both are great hammocks and well constructed. I just seem to prefer less moving parts.
