I am glad to see another vendor joining in. While it does look to be a basic set up and yes, the vendors here can do much better, REI joining in can only help hammocks become a more acceptable solution for camping. Some folks will buy it, love it and never move along to anything else. Others will buy it, hate it, and be done with it. That is called HYOH
BTW, each of us are very different as to our comfort in hammocks. I have a lot of various different hammocks. Everything from HH (Explorer and Expedition) to a 12' DIY with many in between. My own preference is my HH because it fits me well, no fiddling to set it up (I do not like nor want to fiddle with set up but I know others do), and after having a Mod4 done actually love the bug net.
Hopefully the REI solution will bring in more hammock users and hammocks will gain better acceptance in some of the parks where we are not welcome to hang now.
