    About 10 hours broken up over a few days!

    Details! 11 foot - double layer - 1.9 dark navy outer with 1.9 cadmium yellow inner layer - 1/8th Amstel Whoopi slings and continuous loops - 4.5mm ykk zipper modified so the top cover is completely removable and a standard bugnet also built just not shown included. A rectangle stuff sack with button hole sewn into the bottom for suspension to run out! 6BE139EE-2522-46B7-A30E-BD88810668CD.jpeg

    I don't think I'd want to try and wade through 4 tarp tie outs, plus 4 hammock tie outs, plus suspension every time I climb in or out of the hammock, but I'll be damned if that doesn't look cozy and well made!

    very cool...a work of art!

    p.s. just discovered the button hole tricks on the my wife's sewing machine and did the same with a stuff sack. Seems to work great.

    After trying all options, I definitely agree with this. On my latest hammock, I use two small D rings ~10" apart for the tie outs (similar to a chameleon). First decided I only cared to tie out the head end. Then decided...why not just make a small noseeum cup holder for my nightly thirst and hang it from the tie outs. The weight of the water is plenty to weigh it down and keep the net out of my face and I have water in close proximity. Win win...
