    Very interesting.
    I wonder if we are approaching the dawn of major hammock revolution.
    So many things the last few years. Seems like it is all suddenly upon us.
    This particular one, ...I think is unique in several aspects.
    Neat hybrid of tenting technology.

    That's pretty nifty, but would you really consider this a hammock? It seems to me that you would still have the same pressure points as a traditional mattress.

    Cool look.

    Interesting, to be sure. Just for the sake of curiousity, I wonder why there are no acutal photographs of it or any of it in use, for that matter.

    Edit: Nevermind, just saw that it's still a concept item. Whoopsiedoodle.

    I like the comment about snakes having 'no chance to approach the sleeping persons.' I found the Germans to have a strong interest in both Africa and the American West...you'd think they'd know a little bit more about snakes' talents.

    I recently learned that one of the most poisonous snakes in the world hangs out in trees. Fortunately for me, they're in Austrailia.

    The concept is clear for hammockers, though. We can inhabit unusual places.
