So I have the Grand Trunk Nano 7 and just wanted to through up a small review of this product. If you have seen any of my video's on youtube (backpackhiker) you may have noticed the Nano 7 hanging in the background. This is a great little hammock for sitting around the camp fire, eating or just chillin out. It can fit into the palm of your hand which is pretty amazing.
I think this hammock would be great if you were biking all day and wanted a quick nap or went for a day hike, but for overnight sleeping I need to have a bug net and this hammock lacks only that. Otherwise it is really comfortable, small and light.
Check it out great buy

They are my go to hammocks when I don't want to carry hammock. So light they come with me every where. When I go out for more than 4 days I will bring it as a gear hammock/spare hammock should my primary or someone else hammock fail. Love them. I have two of them.

My two questions: what suspension system do you use?
How would you be able to put a bug net on Nano7?

I use the suspension kit sold by Grand Trunk:

This is a great suspension system and I would recommend it to anyone.
They also have a bug net that you can purchase:

I have yet to try this net but it looks cool.
Hammock Bliss also makes a simular product for a bug net:

I havn't tried this hammock yet but I will be soon and I will be doing a video review of it on youtube. My channel is backpackhiker

If you are under 200lbs, I would use some Dynaglide whoopies on the Nano7.
The GT bug net is huge/heavy. Go with a bug sock from Papasmurf.

I saw that Loner (youtube AT thru hiker) is using this hammock as his primary hammock. This is the one I was leaning towards since my first venture into hanging will be in early Oct on the AT so I wasn't concerned about a bug net, yet. Eventually I plan to hang next summer over water for overnight canoe trips, so a bug net will be required eventually.
I noticed that several of you use it as a backup hammock, or only for day hikes. Is there a reason for that?
