First pitch!
I got it today and it didnt come with any suspension, just the rope thru the seam and the "S" hooks... Went out and spent $40 on suspension stuff @ local outdoors store... Now the hammock has cost me over $60, but I have a much cooler, if a bit heavy suspension system. (webbing / rings / 'beaners)
After taking about 1/2 hour to learn a couple of knots and put everything together via stuff I learned from Grizz's videos, I biked over to a park and was able to hang the hammock (no tarp) in about 1 1/2 minutes!
Finally, I laid down in it sort of diagonally and instantly knew what all the fuss is about.
Looking forward to trying to actually sleep in it as I usually sleep on my stomach, but I was laying in that thing for about 5 minutes and really started to relax and drift... yeow.
I am heading upstate this weekend and can spend the night in the trees behind my friends house... I have a blue tarp to use in the short term, but no bug netting... Maybe I can pick up some Permethrin tomorrow.
