    Bat Hammock?

    Anyone used or seen the bat hammock in operation? Any problems with mosquito hammocks quality/warranty?

    Thanks for the link, seems like most of the talk there is about climbing then suspending the hammock at dangerous heights. I have a arborist background and am looking at this in a different view (I think I am anyway).
    My plans for it (first a little back ground, I do a bunch of dual sport motorcycle camping and some of the grounds I end up in dont have more than one tree suitable for rigging my hammock) So I plan on packing 40 to 50 ft of climbing line 7lbs so no big deal on a bike. A throw bag to toss over a limb, pull the climb line in and tie off back at the bottom of the tree with a running bowline. Hammock attached to a carabiner at a bed height around 2.5 to 3 ft.
    The newest version of the bat has a decent looking pod tarp that may work very well with a small amount of tuning. As far as wind spinning the bat a simple tag line to the tree base would solve that.
    My main concern as of now is whether a air sleep pad inserted in the pouch will be enough to keep the shoulder squeeze away.
    As far as the other thread did anyone ever really buy one?

    I used Adblock in Firefox to permanently block that image, because it was getting on my nerves
