    Bliss Pocket Hammock with Mosquito Netting from Wally World

    Has anyone tried one of these?

    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bliss-Hamm...523c6c01234567

    I am just getting started with hammocks and I'm looking for one for my younger son. This looks really inexpensive (it's cheaper than the Equip) and I'm wondering if it's too good to be true?

    Thanks!

    unless your son is 3.5' tall i'd stay away from it. at that price you could make a nice diy (if you have the skills and time)

    I was wondering if the length would be an issue. Thanks....

    I don't have the skills or the time!

    Before you count your skills or time out, take a few seconds to look at this: http://theultimatehang.com/2013/10/m...ock-3-minutes/

    It is very easy to make a hammock, doesn't require any sewing, and can be done in just a few minutes with the right material.

    After the cost of shipping and a new suspension, I think I'll just go with the Tree Runner from SLD...

    I'm not going to be much help here. Just wanted to say hi from Roanoke. With that being said, I haven't had much of a bug problem in the area. Of course that depends on where you go. When I first started last year I just got a big tarp from walmart and hooked the grommets through my hammock biners. I also sprayed bug spray around the ends. They never bothered me.

    Hi! I wasn't really looking for one worth a bug net, but just saw the price on this one. I ended up getting the one from SLD...
