My 11 year-old has a birthday this Fall and would like a hammock. I have just learned about the Dream hammocks and I am intrigued by the site. I'm looking for recommendations between two different scenarios for him:
1. Roaming gnome: I perceive the advantages of having a complete integrated bug net and hammock. Perceived disadvantage: integrated system subjected to the abuse by a youth. Can the integrated bug net be repaired on the Roaming gnome? Does anyone know if Dream Hammocks offers repair services in the event of damage?
2. Free bird with add-on bug net. Perceived advantage is the modular bug net could be replaced in the event of damage. Perceived disadvantages: having to pack/carry two separate items, more steps to set-up, etc.
Also, which suspension (cinch buckle or whoopie slings) do you think would be easier and more robust for an eleven year-old?
Thanks in advance
