    New budget hammock

    So I was in the market for a new hammock due to watching shugs videos and seeing how all of his hammocks are at least 11 feet in length. I was browsing Amazon and came across Go! Outfitters 11 foot by 70 inch basic hammock. Great reviews so I ordered it and added the amsteel ridgeline for it. Took it out this weekend and slept like a baby. So much more comfortable than my eno hammock. Not knocking eno but being a larger frame guy I needed the extra length. It started out as a $45 investment and I just ordered the complete whoopie sling suspension system from Dutch. Looking forward to going out again.

    New budget hammock

    if you like camo, Dutch has some True Timber 11' netless hammocks in the closeout section for $30. Then again, you already have a hammock, but Dutch's netlesses are probably the best deal in hammocks around, and hand made in the US.

    I realized that earlier. If I would have known I would have ordered it from him. But the one I got was a veteran owned company so I got to help a veteran.

    This looks like a good deal at $29 for the hammock. and their other products look promising too. I wish I saw this before I bought my netless wide from Dutch!

    That cord or whatever it is on the back side to control the floppy fabric may be unique. I've not seen that before. I guess it accomplishes the same thing as knotty mods. This is a cut above most of the me-too hammocks offered on Amazon. Their ridgeline and suspension are a bit pricey, but at least they offer both and seem to understand the necessity of both. Their video is amusing as well.
    "...the height of hammock snobbery!"

    New budget hammock

    I have used it for 1 night so far and it sleeps great. I didnt use the tie outs for the extra fabric because it really didnt bother me. All in all it is better than any of the other hammocks I have used. That being said I have only used eno and a couple other off brands.
