reviews look good on amazon, doesn't seem much different than the yukon outfitters hammock. id get some new suspension for it though.

Welcome to the forums, Edwin! I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Half the fun is finding out what works for you, and what doesn't. There's a lot of great info here, but sometimes it can be a bit of information-overload. Enjoy!

I have 2 cargo with carabenar straps 1 inch thick. i have cut off the buckle and knotted every 5 to 8 inches simulating the style of the ENO Atlas Hammock Suspension System. works well with the net hammock

The knots will weaken the straps.

Welcome to the Forums! Looks like you've got a good start - it may be your first, but it is unlikely that it will be your last!! It's kind of an addiction.......:cool:

I might have to try one of these just to get the feel for lying and sleeping etc

Did it come with the disembodied arm holding up the netting as shown in the amazon picture?!?!
