I picked up a 'No Net' and been playing with it all evening. I wanted it because Im fixin to do the AT in the Smokey's with some others and I cant stand the shelters (kills my back), so Im hoping to hang off the trail (shhh). I got the No Net for the double bottom to put my pad into. Much lighter than my underquilt and I may need the pad in case i have to do the shelter thing anyway. Problem is, its very uncomfortable for me. I think its the design. When I made my DIY Speer, I drew up the sides so the middle of the hammock doesnt have that "ridge feel" in the middle to it. My DIY has a banana dip where its very comfortable to sleep diagonal. Not so with this Claytor. I tried all kinds of configurations. Lots of drop, no drop, et al. My question is, does having the net attached to these hammocks make all the difference or is this the nature of this critter? thanx, bill
