Chrysalis 2011 Edition and General Thoughts

[slowhike]

If anyone (slowhike) has the desire to try it out, I'll ship it out if you ship it back. I have the crysalis bug net as well, but no hammock tarp.

Thanks BER. Very nice offer! Looking forward to seeing how she's put together!

Sounds perfect

It's not perfect. But it is comfortable, IMO.
In so far as accessories, I have the bug screen, but have yet to use it. Note, the WB bug screen was too short for use with the Chrysalis. I think there are better options than the Chrysalis Flarp (tarp), both in weight and coverage, from other vendors, but get what works for YOU.

HYOH I think it's called

Yeah, I agree, it looks like there are better tarps out there.

So the accessory bug screen is a good idea?? It'll end up costing me about $75

Depends on how much you like bugs...

Hey Dan. Glad to see you made it to HF. I'll keep my opinion to myself here (you already know it anyway).

Hey LD,

I've been browsing around and getting somewhat opinionated already ... ex wife wouldn't be surprised

Thanks to you for pointing me in this direction, great forum.

It looks like a hanging canoe! They call it a tent hammock, but don't show it in the tent position (ie on the ground). Is this doable?

Those metal cam buckles are heavy. I hope there'll be one at the FL hang. I find it hard to believe that it will be more comfortable than lying diagonally on a standard hammock.

It looks like it is on sale right now at Cabela's. $150 bucks.

Have you had the chase to use a bridge style hammock? Although they may not be for everyone. To me they are the most comfortable hammock They work well for people that roll in their sleep or want to sleep in any other position besides on your back
