    Mosquito w/ bug net at REI GSO $20

    Yesterday, I went to REI in Greensboro, NC, and bought their last Travel Hammock without a net for $17, as well as one of several they have left in forest green with a bug net for $20. You have to ask; they are in the back, not on the shelf. It seemed to be one of those 'no-brainer' type bargains...

    My daughter and I found them... now we figure our 13' Scamp camper can sprout hammocks when our family of four goes camping. We can hang my HH, two Byers and a Chinese copy of the US Army jungle hammock. No one needs to sleep inside on hot nights!

    Just picked up a Byer parachute travel hammock (the one you are talking about for $17) and I'm gonna use it as a backup for the buddies of mine who don't own a hammock for camping.

    If it is a Byer with multiple gathered strings on each end, you might be too heavy. My daughter uses the Byer Moskito, and I stay out of it!

    Good deal Mac ... I went to the sale last year and didn't have the patience to wait out the line. Went to have breakfast instead! Were the lines huge this time too?
