New Antigravity Gear Hammock.

Looks decent to me, although nothing groundbreaking here. Seems like AGG is trying to cash in on the hammock craze (just like most, lately).

It looks good to me...except the 1/2" Muletape for tree straps.

I have seen an early version of the system in person. It isn't anything new, but for a basic system, it's not bad. I wouldn't bee too harsh on them for using 1/2" Tree Straps. I used to and I know that many others have without issue. I've mentioned to tell already that LNT recommends that hammocks use 1" straps. I do like that you can buy the complete package as a combo.

My WBBB + Mamajamba tarp = 44oz

May not be an perfect comparison, but the clostest AGG system is 36.7oz. The doors don't offer enough protection for me though, so I definitely like my MJ door kit or Superfly tarp much better.

The system itself sounds good to me, but it costs twice as much. I agree it's nice to have the complete package though.

This is a well proven design. The hammock is set at just the right tension and TinMan demonstrates the correct offset angle to be able to lie flat. It is nice to see George getting into hammocks!

I like the addition of the cord locks to the Frontkey style bug net. I have used that design without the locks, and my bug net sometimes drapes all the way to the ground. Tinman's design is an improvement to what I have been using.

If the mule tape is tied like Ed Speer wrote about (the Speer wrap), with multiple wraps around the tree, the weight would be spread more. I've used single and multiple wraps for 15 years now on my own trees at home and have not seen any damage. If anyone has a link to any science that describes any actual damage that has occurred to trees from straps of any width, I'd like to read it. I understand the theoretical risk, but have yet to see damage from camping hammocks when they are removed each day.
