Our troop has decided to use leftover funds to purchase hammocks for the troop to use (mostly for backpacking in the White Mtns). If you had to buy ~20 of the same hammock/system for Boy Scouts to use over the next 5 years, what would you pick? I think max total expenditure would be around $100 each and we have plenty of time to wait for a sale/shop around.
Yes we can also DIY though I'm not sure we have the skills and time to do it well, and it doesn't seem that much more expensive to buy (at least the hammock body). Right now I'm leaning toward buying the hammocks (with bug netting and tarp?) and making our own underquilts (Costco throw).
Thoughts appreciated!
