    REI outlet hammock question

    REI has a camp hammock (the outlet store) for cheap. Do you think this is an A-sym sleeping hammock? Is it something I could add a ridgeline to and also add a different webbing/carabiner set up to?

    So cheap it crashed the site. It says they are experiencing technical difficulties.

    I think it may be worth a try. It looks pretty short though at 8 ft, how tall are you? For that price I would say buy it and test it. I don't know if you can return things to REI if they were from the outlet website. If not I bet you could sell it on here if it is too short. It would make a great kids hammock.

    It would be for my wife who is 5'3. I would make some mods to it. I can always return it...

    I think it should work for someone her height. Of course that is just a SWAG since I am 6' tall, and have never owned a hammock that short.
