Hello Hammock Enthusiasts!
My name is Mike and me and my partner Ryan have designed what we're calling the "Alpine Hammock". It's essentially a hammock/bivy with a built-in, zip-on bug net and rainfly. We did most of our research through these forums so they've been incredibly helpful to our project. This thread is to an attempt to get feedback on our Kickstarter page (crowd funding platform) as well as feedback on our design, rewards structure, and anything else you feel like mentioning, we just want to start a conversation. Check it out here and share it with your outdoorsy friends:

After having seen the video, project description, and rewards structure, do you have any comments? Are there any threads deep within the forums that we should know about? We've found a plethera of threads on this topic but feel free to send one along. Every bit of constructive criticism will help us design a better product. We are not yet a company and not yet selling these items outside of the rewards on Kickstarter so we didn't see it fit to put this thread in the vendors section of the website because as of now, it's still just a project.
We both studied engineering at Tufts University, we're based in Boston, and we're totally stoked on hammock design.
Peace, love, and hammocks,
Mike and Ryan
