Okay I posted this in the ENO section as well but I figured I would post here as well to get as much exposure as possible.
So I'm stuck in a quandary folks. I'm about to get a new hammock in the next couple weeks here for my birthday(hopefully lol) and I'm going back and forth between the ENO DN and the GTSBP. I know it's kind of an apples to oranges thing since one has a bugnet and one doesn't but I'm curious if anyone had used both and found they liked the integrated bugnet better vs using a stand alone bugnet along with the ENO, or vice versa. I do have a bugnet sock already that will work with the ENO so I don't really have to worry about buying a bugnet along with the ENO should I go that route. Either hammock I get I will add a SRL(doing a Grizz mod should I get the SBP). I can get each one locally so there's no availability issue with either one.
My quandary is I like the idea of both. I have used both types(integrated bugnet and open top w/ bugsock). I like that the skeeter beeter has the net attached and it's just as simple as zipping in. The bug sock is a bit more finicky( I have a simple DIY slip over drawstring type), but I like being fully enclosed by the net so I can lay out completely uncovered and without bottom insulation if I wish without any worries. I do like that the skeeter beeter can be used as an open top if I don't need the but protection. I definitely prefer an open top when bug protection is not required, which is why I'm looking at the grand trunk as far as a bugnet hammock is concerned(also because it is only 80 bucks). Anyone have any thoughts? I'm picking between these particular two, partially because they are both locally available, but also because I really like the feel of the parachute nylon hammocks vs ripstop nylon hammocks.
