Never found these topic on the forum, I would love to hear the ups and downs of this idea. Has any one made a successful dyi bottom load hammock?
Has anyone gave up on the idea?

I think the fact that many people with Hennessy hammocks (the only mfr. I'm aware of that makes bottom-loading hammocks) opt to get the 2Q zipper mod done is something to consider.
That being said, a DIY HH clone shouldn't be too hard to make. Just sew your bugnet on, and cut your slit in the bottom and reinforce it, and you're good to go.

It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen
I added the bottom entry, ala Hennessy, to my first hammock. I thought it would be a neat feature, but I never ended up using it. I always use an underquilt, so it was covered up. I left that feature off my last hammock and won't be missing it.
