I am seriously claustrophobic. I am also seriously wanting to hammock more. Any suggestions, experiences, advice? Tks! -NCHiker (Patrick)

Integrated bugnet? I don't think so. Check out Dutch's hammocks and a Fronkey bugnet - very easy to get into and out of.

The Ridgerunner feels very open while laying in it. Great views.
I've seen Shugs review of the Amok. Pricy though. Along with the Clarks.
While I'm not personally claustrophobic, a zippered bugnet is just something I can't tolerate, which is why I recommended a hammock with non-integrated bugnet like Dutch's.

I have a Hennessey Asylum Expedition. That model has 2 tabs on each side of the hammock that you can stake out the width of the hammock creating generous room.
i would look into bridge hammocks and get a big enough tarp you don't have to set it up low to the hammock.

Amoks are nice gear. only thing there is do you feel claustrophobic with netting? in the Amok, once you deploy the netting, it's always fairly close to your face. adjustments help keep it away but i usually have 4-8 inches between me and the netting at all times. without the netting though it's a nice open feeling hammock.

I don't know enough about calustrophobia - I wonder if Dutch's half-wit would feel more confining (being a smaller space enclosed by netting) or less (can be very easily moved to take whole body out of netting). Just a thought.
