I'm not a hanger so I will admit I know nothing about hammocks. That being said woot had a deal on a couple of hammocks today. One with big netting the other without. Just thought someone might be interested.

Looks like 2 of us have no life. I bought one, I've wasted a lot more money than that before.

WTH, it's only money.

"Said one of these men, long past seventy years of age: 'I could carry, paddle, walk and sing with any man I ever saw. I have been twenty-four years a canoe man, and forty-one years in service; no portage was ever too long for me. Fifty songs could I sing. I have saved the lives of ten voyageurs. Have had twelve wives and six running dogs. I spent all my money in pleasure. Were I young again, I should spend my life the same way over. There is no life so happy as a voyageur's life!'"

I saw that this morning too, as did my boss, who emailed me to make sure I saw it in case I hadn't already. I was a little tempted but I have 3 tablecloths coming in the mail that I intend to make into hammocks. There is a veritable range of mountains of information on hammocks and hammock camping over at hammockforums.net that I've been reading though. That's where I got the notion that a tablecloth can be a hammock. I'm still interested to see the quality of the hammock that Woot has to offer. Their finished product is definitely less expensive than what mine will be. Guess it'll come down to comfort and durability to decide if it would have been a better deal than my idea.

I got a double of the Yukon Outfitters hammock last winter off Woot. Used it on my spring trip, it worked great! Sagged quite a bit on the first night so I shortened the ropes on the end and it was fine after that. Paired it with Eno slap straps and a Eno pro fly that my daughter got me for X-mas. After going to a hammock, I'll never go back to the tent. Only down side is the tent was nice to play cribbage in during the rain. All in all, Good deal. Decent hammock for the budget minded tripper.

My co-worker too brought it to my attention. "a screened in hammock for $30"? "No way"! I said. "I am sure it is not made well"! And to prove it....I bought one. So, we will see. I doubt I would use it instead of a tent, but it would sure be nice to take a mosquito free nap.

I have a couple of hammocks with the netting. I use a Wilderness Logics Tadpole fly with it. I have been very happy with both.
This is the first time I have seen the rain fly on woot. For $20, I might have to give it a try.

I just got the rainfly I ordered. I don't know that I'd trust it over my hammock, but for $20 it will certainly make a dandy kitchen tarp.

After buying a tent, pack and a new sleeping pad in the last week I figured I was done. Then I saw this deal. I finally justified the purchase in my mind last night and was ready to purchase this morning. I mean how better to try out hanging than with that low price. I guess it wasn't in the cards however because I didn't know that woot was only a 24 hour sale site. Oh well, I guess I'll wait till I notice some other deal you guys post on here. This site is seriously bad for my pocketbook.
