    Thanks.
    I agree, it looks similar. But the TSB is at a higher price. Also they advertised this "unknown hammock" as being only 200 grams. Probably a text error.

    There was a thread on here many months ago with this exact picture linked to another ebay auction. I can't seem to find it at the moment.

    Looks like snug pack jungle hammock. Check out pro force equipment and they should have it there to compare. It's a good beginner hammock and I still have mine altho when you tie off the netting and not the hammock you end up sewing.....

    Yep. A China manufacture non-branded hammock. I've seen a few that look worth investigating.

    Which one are you referring to? Curious, is this first hand experience talking or just looking at the photos/description?

    A lot of the retail hammocks wind up needing a suspension upgrade. I replaced the climbing rated rope on all my Grand Trunk Ultralights with Tree straps, whoopie slings and an adjustable ridgeline. It was pointed out in a different thread that after all the upgrades, you could have bought a complete hammock from a few of the cottage vendors.

    Lets look at the costs:

    $17.55 - GT Ultra Light - Green (Expect to pay more for other colors)
    $53.60 - Dutch Buckle Suspension Kit
    $13.79 - KAQ Dynaglide Adjustable Ridge Line
    $20.00 - MountainGoat Hammock 12x8 Ridgeline Organizer
    $104.94 - Total cost before shipping

    Are you really saving anything by buying a cheap hammock? Still I'd by it just for the purpose of testing it.
