    Bare bones, crazy affordable little hammock. Genie

    I just bought a hammock from Genie Outdoor Recreation, based out of Traverse City Mich. It's a pretty sweet little Hammock, & the price, $20! ($45 with suspension & stuff sack).

    My only other hammock experience is my Hennessy, & this is the complete other side of the spectrum. Straight up single layer gathered end, the stock suspension is straps & carabiners. Spent a couple hours in it this afternoon & really enjoyed it. Thinking about upgrading to a Dutch/Whoopie hookup, which might shave a few oz's off (roughly 20 oz in stuff sack with straps & 'biners).

    Anywho, I dig it, the price is sweet, & it's local, thought I'd give him (just a dude & a couple sewing machines) a bit of a free shout on the forums.

    I'd especially like to know dimensions.

    gunner, he didn't put actual measurements, but he did say the size was generous. I'm now trying to put generous in a quantitative perspective. LOL.

    , but he did say the size was generous
    generous means different things to someone who is 5ft 2 vrs someone who is 6ft 2.

    Most 3/4 length UQs are full length for my wife who is vertically challenged while they are 3/4 length for me.
