    Noob $350 Budget, HELP! :)

    Okay, so I've been reading like a maniac on these forums for the past three days and in the process have went from deciding to DIY a simple test hammock to see if I like it to stumbling across some money and deciding to get a Clark NX-200. But now I'm looking at the MacCat Deluxe tarp with a cheaper hammock. Seeing as it's going to be spring soon I think I can get away with something a little less complicated than the NX-200 and get an awesome tarp instead. I think I'm sold on the MacCat tarp but what kind of Hammock should I get with it considering the now $230 limit after the tarp.

    *exhale* I feel like a kid a week from Christmas..

    I just ordered mine a moment ago, so you better hurry and get in line Slick. I figured with knowing how I am, I would buy some cheaper hammock and like it, and be kicking myself for not getting what I really wanted. I also figured if I didn't like it, I bet I could unload it on here for a fair price. So its a win win for me. So as Cannibal says, "Warbonnet On!"

    So I should get a Skeeter Beeter is what you're saying... I like it!

    Thanks for the fast replies guys. DeShazo, you said you just ordered yours so did he give you a ballpark of when he'd get around to you? And I noticed they're not in black anymore on his site, can you request it for your order?

    I don't know about the black, but he gave me an approximate finish date of 2.5 weeks.
