    I like the setup. Simple, easy to setup, not a lot of different connections. (sometimes I see suspension setups with what looks like 3 or 4 different straps and ropes) You can zigzag stitch a tear in that bugnet. Glad you only hurt yer pride. lol.
    An emergency of my own making...is still an emergency.

    Good luck with the hammock. it gets mixed reviews. I tried one and was glad I bought it at rei. I took advantage of there return policy. The micro ropes were awesome the hammock not so much.

    yeah.... after the fall i moved the hammock in to a nice little dip so it hung good and it would drain water if it rained (which it did for an hour)
    the micro light kit is awsome and the best part about it with this hammock is that it attaches rght to the hammock , and it realy simple..... the only other bad thing is that the bag is a little small to put every thing back in to but it ok

    I just bought one,

    I wonder if I could change out all those little end of the hammock lines for something that goes through the end of the hammock and bundles the end up? Does that make sense? I am horrible at straightening out tangled strings!

    I have straps and carabiners. Anyone have thoughts? I will use it in a little over a month!

    I am also reading that some use pads (Thermarests??) to stay a bit warmer at night. I will be in an area where the low will be in the upper 60s. Do I go with a Thermarest, or maybe a space blanket?

    Thoughts, everyone!

    Poor video

    One night hammock camping with Amazonas moskito travel , Millions of mosquitos in the air, rain poncho liner as underquilt inside hammock. The hammock was ok, easy to set up and my Erätoveri as tarp.
    Just enough roomy for me but not too much .
    Hammock has two inner mesh pockets and one outside. It has nice ridgeline for net.

    The microrope was disappointment , had to make knots to it to make it secure. Thanks to Hang´inScout for that microrope pic, now mine is also proper way and holds.

    keep the strings on the ends

    Don't cut off the strings on the ends. For those who don't own this hammock, you need to know that each end has about 30 strings attached at the ends that terminate in a loop to which you attach your suspension. THose strings allow the hammock to spread out very nicely. I'm not sure how the weight compares, but if you made a hammock in fabric that was as long as the Moskito including the strings on each end, I bet the fabric would weigh more, and you wouldn't need that extra length. I had a couple of these and cut the strings off one to test using it with whoopies pulled through the gathered ends where the strings would have attached. THis prevented the hammock from spreading out and it was constricting. I now use an unmolested original Moskito and attach whoopies to each loop end of the strings in a larkshead, and then marlin spike hitch to straps. Very comfortable hammock with sturdy bug net. I think it's 15 ounces. My Grand Trunk Nano 7 is less comfortable and in bug season I have to use a bug sock which adds weight and is not as comfortable as the net on the Moskito. Experiment. Unless you're really extra tall and extra wide, I think you'll like the Moskito quite a bit. I do.
