I spent some time in that one during my week at camp. Our oldest Eagle Scout has been listening to me sing the praises of hammocks. He finally picked up the only hammock he could afford. While I was laying in it the knot came undone, so I'd check that close before you hang if you weigh more than a skinny 17 year old. Other than that, it worked just fine. He spent several nights in it and only fell out once.
