dream hammocks

Go to Walmart and buy the Coleman fleece bag for about $10. But the zipper off, and you get lots of fleece to play with too.

May not be quite 96", but it's a rectangular bag so the zipper's length is the bag's width plus most of its length.

Or check thru-hiker.com...AYCE sells zippers by the foot.

The hammock in question has a heat exchange mechanism powered by theswinging action of the hammock. Thus asym tie outs would need to be of fairly high quatily shock cord. Depending on the season and application the swinging opens a one directional valve which serves to pump air from a chamber warmed by your body into a series of channels thus heating the channeled air and allowing the process to self sustain. In the cooler than body temp summer nights the opposite valve would allow the cooler air to exchange thereby providing a level of air conditioning.

It would be a fire breathing bottom entry hammock that you could wear all day hiking. Instead of complicated sling, knot, or web suspension you would smash your spiked tail into one tree and chomp with your bear trap like teeth into your other tree. Easy as pie! Speaking of pie, the built in grain alcohol tank feeds a built in nose mounted alcohol stove that shoots fire several feet. In the interest of having your gear do double duty the grain alcohol tank has a convienient drinking tube for the user (or should I say boozer)! Be the first kid on you block to have an armour plated spiky ridge line. You are almost certain to never ever hear complaints about your lack of a leave no trace camping ethics because, who in their right mind is gonna yell at a drunken, fire breathing, armour plated dragon looking guy or gal with bear trap like teeth and a spiked tail? It's great for tresspassing too.
