There are certain things you don't buy at a mystery discount.
Anything that holds you in the air is a primary category. Hammock tents, sex swings, bungee cords, parachutes... Always buy once, cry once. |

hammocks look like back pain Back in the service, I slung up a VN Jungle hammock in the torpedo room. Best rack on the boat in my opinion. OP, no rain fly on these? ETA: saw down a little further Another $20 (ouch) For that price: Get one of these |

I'm tempted.
 Got a backpacker coming up in a month with kids from the church.
We were going to build shelters but this would be much be easier. Are these light enough that I'm going to want to stick them in backpacks? What do they weigh, any idea? |

What do they weigh, any idea? 19oz for the single with the netting, so yes. But a full hammock sleep system with insulation and rainfly can get as heavy, or heavier than a single BP tent and air mattress. |

275 pound weight capacity Why post this here? This disqualifies 98% of GD. Or is the attraction that the netting is supposed to stop bugs from getting to your neckbeard? Also, does it come with long enough ties to tie between basement support posts? |

I've owned both, the blackbird shits all over Hennessey Hammocks. I would personally buy the basic hammock and rainfly, if I wanted a bugnet hammock, I would look to Hennessey or Warbonnet - these ones are going to be much more annoying to pitch, with the raised net section, vs the integrated ridgeline of the competetors requiring zero additional rigging. |

Looks like something for the Everglades. Plenty of trees but no dry spots. Kayak out into the glades, string it up, sleep, and keep kayaking.

Went to order and they didn't give the option of changing payment method. Pushed it straight through my personal account... Wtf? What online retailer doesn't give you chance to change payment method before charging?? |

Snagged another one thanks. I was waiting for these to come back and I really like these little hammocks for the $.
Pro tip: use a sleeping pad under you to keep the mosquitoes from biting your back through the hammock while you sleep .
I am 5'11 and 230 and while its tight I have slept in one of these.
