We are doing a 2-3 day backpack trip next weekend. When i get back i'll write a review on how it worked. Figure its much smaller and lighter then a tent and sleeping bag. I am going to try it with a tarp as a cover if it rains. This with a tarp and wool army blanket rolled around it will take up less space then just a sleeping bag would.

I grabbed three of these this morning too. I think these will be great for the BOB and they show up on woot every couple months so if we really like them I may get a couple more so we have one for each of us. I have seen these in stores for up over $80 and they were not worth that to me but for $24/ea I was glad to grab my limit.

I slept in this the last 2 nights at Scout camp: 2 of the best nights of sleep I've had in months:

The weight is a little higher (28 oz instead of 20 oz) and the capacity is higher (400# instead of 250#) but this newer version is actually a better hammock at a very good price. Grand Trunk makes quality products. You won't be disappointed! Only wish Cabelas sold the Grand Trunk TreeSlings to compliment the hammock. I bought them from another online retailer - great hammock camping combo - just add a fly!! |

EDIT - They are gone from the WOOT OFF!!!
They will be on woot again some day... There is a woot off today and if you can be quick they have HAD these hammocks again http://www.woot.com I received the ones I bought before with the bug screeen and we love them - so much I am buying three more now without the bug screen. The only issue we had with the ones we got before is the stitching that holds the zipper for the screen to the hammock itself came unstitched but it was not bad and a little sewing thread and I can fix it. Very comfortable to lay in. |

The grand truck Skeeter Beater is my go to hammock. Ive done a few small things to make it better like adding a ridgeline to keep the bugnet up, but it is an excellent hammock.

Well I ordered the bug net one on the 29th and received it the 2nd. I set it up today and was pretty pleased for the price. As the people have said it is a smaller hammock but at 5'11 and 230 it fits me just fine. One of those cheap blue walmart camping mats fits easily inside it and adds to the comfort plus keeps bugs from biting your back. It was a snap to string up and I was relaxing in minutes.
Pics: 
My wife was less than pleased at yet another package showing up at our door but she got over this one very quickly. It can be used as a two person hammock if you have the right size people

They are back.
Quoted:
Just ordered the one with a net on it . Figure it is a good cheap B.O.B sleeping option. http://www.woot.com/offers/yukon-outfitters-hammock-2-choices?utm_source=Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=e0271bce61-Daily+Digest+-+20130629+-+Woot&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c5ca76da11-e0271bce61-290357353#tracked |
