    That pic really is exceedingly annoying. It might make me disable avatars...

    I have finally given up using my Byer Moskito hammock...the zipper ripped out of the first one I had at the ends. I wrote Byer-of-Maine or the Army Navy online store where I purchased it, can't remember which, suggesting improvements to avoid this and they sent me a new one asking me to return the ripped one to them, which I did...I think that was pretty nice of them...I had more brains on the second and sewed a lock stitch at each zipper end about 1/2 inch from the actual end of the zipper which successfully prevented ripping. However, I sit in my hammock and cook...the bed of the Moskito distorts so badly after you've done this a few times that you can no longer lie in the middle of the hammock. Bye bye Byer...still, I would recommend this hammock to a first timer as it's inexpensive...it would be a bummer to drop lots of $$$ and find you hate sleeping in a hammock....

    I got one last year and was not impressed. The mosquito netting ripped near the zipper the first time I got in it and the strings tangle something fierce on the ends. It was not a good introduction to hammocking.
