    Thanks for an honest review... the best kind really. I was wondering if you have to 'thread' the hammock in at the ends of the bug netting... but I couldn't tell if there was a zipper - e.g. you mentioned not understanding how you then get in and out of it. Am also a big NO to the bugs - so that bit is quite important to us bug averse... I do have a hammock that I love - and the bug net is attached, then zipper at the side for entry... Thanks for sharing - Love your work Cheers.

    I'll be honest, I just don't see the point in this hammock. It's like trying to reinvent the wheel. DD travel hammock, one wind normal hammock and those Amok ones are all you need in a hammock.
