Haven't made my mind up on what brand yet, But I know I want to buy from a smaller outfit something more locally made. I defiantly want the sewn in bug net too ! So basically I am hear for research !

    Jacks-r-Better and Dream Hammocks both fit that description. There are others, too, so you have a lot of choices. Welcome! (I moved to West Virginia because the mountains reminded me of the Adirondacks. Love those lakes.)

    Welcome from Schoharie County..

    I'm going to be making a few hammocks out of Ripstopbytheroll's new HyperD material, and will be offering at least 1 up in the FS/FT sections, if it's something you'd like to see with your own eyes.. I plan on being in the Dacks in mid August

    Will do meckelangelo.... Right now I am still browsing around.... It looks like one of my dogs is going to need surgery on her knee, and I find out the price tomorrow, so I am assuming its going to be a few thousand plus... So this will probably delay my hammock purchase for a bit, So I don't want to waste anyone's time until I am closer to making a order.....
