    I like the window/door as well. The benifit of being able to look out without open the overcover is a plus.

    Interesting but doesn't seem all that light given the name. Just sayin.

    Glow in the dark 'cheater' line? Interesting. (especially if you're a bear or racoon or big cat, who IME tend to investigate bright colors). That MOLLE gear photo is also interesting...not sure how that model is managing to stand up with a pack bigger than her torso, though.

    The owner of the company has invited me to come over to Cohutta and test camp in one of these. It will be after Christmas, though. I am looking forward to it and I will report the results. I also encouraged him to get on HF and let folks know what's up. He seems like a really nice guy for sure.

    Probably not a good option for the weight conscious, but it is interesting, none the less. It appears as though, according to the set up instructions that Toggled Hammock Support Lines are 1/4 inch braided poly rope, and one wraps them around the tree multiple times, to support the hammock. I would be interested in seeing this in person to see if poly straps could be used as a better alternative.

    The window looks nice but it does look short.

    the door seems to preclude sitting up with legs over the side.
