    I'll try again

    As for weight, the strappack alone weighs just under 2 lbs, but that is your back pack and sleeping pad. So the weigh is really not that bad. Tree straps add more weight.

    I've been toying with the idea of using stakes also.

    I put a posting of it in the Bridge Hammock thread. Put a couple of pictures here as attachments.

    In your case, why was it a failure? The challenge I've found was that I needed to really crank down those stake straps before I got in, or tighten them up after I got in. The first approach is pretty hard, to get significant separation at the head and foot.

    I'm still tinkering. There's a beautiful weekend coming up here weatherwise, and Hammock Day....
