Tx for the pix of whoopie slings....
As much as I like the look and reviews of the WB Blackbonnet..I haven't been able to justify spending megabucks when I don't get to hammock camp very often and my Byers of Maine set up has worked just fine for me. I have arthritis and it's super comfy. I'm 5'0" so the size is just fine.
I have the JRB Shenandoah Summer UQ and the GG evozote - just got the narrow 1/8"...was thinking about getting the wider 1/4".
Think I paid ab $16 (campmor?) for the Microrope

And $20 for the Moskito Traveller (then they went up to $40)

I really need to shop around for a hammock stand..that way I could use it at state parks and on my deck - I usually just hang it from a tree around the lake in my neighborhood.
Most of my camping is in my new (09) Aliner Classic (a-frame camper)!! Tho I tent camped the night after I dropped it off at the dealer for some fine tuning. http://www.aliner.com/design/homepage5.php
Just thought I'd post these inexpensive options for newbies or for people who want to outfit their kids at a lower cost.
