Hi 'bomber', I'm glad to hear yuo think it's comfy. Maybe a review with some pictures is interesting for other 'Hammockers'. Thanks

Here is a quick review of Planet Hammock's Singlemodel.

I been using this hammock pretty much every day for around 14 days now, and it's showing no signs of wear, which is a good thing, considering i wear jeans with metal stud and buttons everyday. Even on overnighters close to home i wear jeans. This shows on all of my hammocks except this one.

Laid out flat this model measures 275cm(110') x 150(60') and weighs with the supplied suspension 478grams(just over 17oz) and packs easy down into the attached stuff sack, which doubles as a handy beverage holder.
I ordered mine in a very nice dark grey/coyote green two tone combination(that's my best description). It also have a white "contrast stitching" where the panels are sewn together.

I use whoopieslings, and on all the pic's the hammock has attached my own set of suspension(weight 86g(3oz)and packs down small - but it's there none the less on all the pictures except the one where the supplied suspension is laid on top of the stuff sack). And i have also attached a ridgeline to keep a consistent sag.

The picture's for size comparing shows a Nalgene 32oz bottle, a MLD 850 pot and a WB TRVL 1.7 SL with no suspension attached, in the black stuff sack.

I've really like this hammock, it has a great "lay", it's cheap, it's light and compact, but still solid and strong enough for everyday use(you can't see in the fabric that i use jeans with metal studs - for just a slight weight penalty)
This has become the hammock i take along everyday(yes, i pack a hammock full time!)
The suspension wasn't my cup of tea, but then again - i've changed the suspension on all of my hammocks(kind of OCD about it)
And almost everybody have their take on a favorite system.

(For Full disclosure: I really like this hammock, and have after testing it contacted Planet Hammock - to become a local sales point.)

By the end of August, we will introduce a complete new suspension set that is SUPER(!) light... TITANIUM is our keyword!

So keep on checking our websites!

I'm still lost here, are you referring to the story about the boy Hans Brink?
(i'm having a slow day here)

[jtbradyl]

Yes, "Hans Brinker; or, the Silver Skates: A Story of Life in Holland" by Mary Mapes Dodge. But the story of the boy who puts his finger into a hole in the dike until help could arrive was usually treated separately and was a grammar school favorite in my generation. I forgot that this was a story written by an American author and may not be familiar to Europeans. Although researching it now on Google I see that the story of the boy did originate in Europe. All this brain busting has made me tired. I think I'm going to climb into my Planet hammock and rest up a bit. Oh, wait! I don't have one!
