I have learned so much from this site just wanted to say thanks to everyone!I am a lifelong camper from tents to a camper I have tried it all.After sleeping on a rock last year on a canoe trip I decided to retry a hammock.I had only used a rope hammock in the past with poor results.A quick internet search and here I am.The HH expedition was going to be my next purchase but after reading the DIY posts I am modifying ,making my own kit now.2 canoe trips with minimal gear and great nights sleep have made me a believer.Thanks again for all of the great ideas and clear instructions.I haven't posted sooner as I'm a very slow typer and take forever[need to find the time for a typing class].
