    How cheap do you want to go? Try vipon.com and search "hammocks". They are not from the cottage vendors but they are available for under $10. They are actually sold by Amazon and vipon gives coupon codes. http://www.vipon.com

    Bear Butt - yeah, it looks promising, yet also looks like the 4 dozen or so other "makes" on amazon that are all priced and look to be about the same. Shouldn't have to dig for specs, but that's just not how these things are typically listed. I got an 11' hammock with 2" straps for cheap on amazon as a gift for my niece going off to college, but I don't see that one listed anymore. I personally wouldn't buy these for camping unless I was just looking for the cheapest deal, and even then with what's out there on amazon, its a risk. Bear Butt seems like a good buy, but my brain turns off and I click away when I see the words "two person hammock". Doesn't help that they specifically say to tie the rope around the trees.

    Spending a little more for a real camping hammock and tarp is a much better deal to me. As far as a fully equipped (loops & ridgeline) hammock goes, about the cheapest I see out there is the BIAS Hiker Lite.

    She really was. I was trying to prove a point to her that she was NOT falling out, and gave her a bit of a slight swing

    You may not believe it but if both people were smaller....maybe 150 each or less, you could comfortably fit in the bear butt....I am a big gal, and there is literally room for someone else....

    That being said I do not think I would put 2 in it other than a little guy like the baby in the pics I posted. 2 adults would be a bit much. But the hammock is huge

    Oh, I believe it. I just don't think its the greatest of ideas, especially for sleeping at night. Now, if you're not camping, not sleeping for 8+ hrs in one, then do whatever you want. Saw two girls lounging opposite from one another reading books in an ENO, thought that was effective use of the two-person idea.

    I can tell you these are very well made, not like the cheap ones. Compared to an eno, same quality better price!

    If I'm home while you're driving through to Kissimee this weekend, you're welcome to drop by and try a few other options if you're interested.
    This thing seems quite tall you are right and how comfortable is it? Actually I'm quite new in camping, hammock and all thats why I'm asking such silly question to clear my confusions

    No question is a silly question. I am sure I could have went with a 9ft or 10 ft option, but I wanted the extra space.
