The more I think about this the more I think the fault rests with REI. They (REI) are the ones that chose to locate them in the area of the store that they did. I still think it's ignorant to even sell these things as 'hammock accessories', but the world seems to be lurching harder and harder towards the side of ignorance every day, so why should the business world be left out?
If these would have been in Home Depot next to their yard hammocks, fine. They weren't and I think it's a horrible precedent to set.
