That is awesome. If you guys decide you're willing to make one to sell I will take one.

Thanks! That idea was born of an obsession with saving grams

I love items in my pack that have multiple uses.

We are still dialing it in and figuring out how sturdy it is over the long run.

Feel free to ask questions if you decide to have a go of it!

Thanks Grappler!

Maybe we can sit around and lie some more at Smoked Butt Hang coming up

We might be able to borrow it back and bring it with to Smoke Butt

...or maybe the person we made it for will show up!

Thanks for sharing. Love the fit of the bugnet.

Thanks

We are always trying to come up with something to save weight and dial in design ideas.

Love the setup! Can you provide more insight to the construction of the bug net...seams/channels, bungee cord, ect ? I think the hammock is straight forward, but the bug net is the icing on the cake.

Very well thought out system. Nice hanging backyard btw.

Thanks a lot! I was one of the people that had lots of questions about your previous bugnet... made one of my own, but it doesn't quite fit the new larger hammock I made for myself, so for v.2 I'll try incorporating the reinforcements at the ends like you all did here.
