    Stupid Question: Grand trunk nano 7

    Does grand trunk use any tricks to get the weight down so low, or is it just a matter of following gathered end guides with nylon rip stop 1.1?

    Just light 1.1 material and no caribiners. It ain't hard to make'm that light, and many do.

    Bushwacker...reading your threads makes it clear that you are looking for as light weight of a setup as you can get.

    It's also a really small hammock.

    Oh man I didn't think it would be that obvious.

    I'm initially attracted by claims of light weight gear, but half the time, they have simply reduced the size of the item. Not a very creative way to go about it, IMO. The Nano is a perfect example of this.
