I ran across this last night and brought it up in chat this morning. sierra madre research

What do you think? Seems like it packs fairly small and seems like a good idea. It looks stupid though!

Yeah I think that I won't be changing anytime soon. Looks like they have enough supporters to get it up and running though.

One of the things I like best about a modular shelter system is that I can remove components that I don't need. I'f I'm camping in Ontario in September, I don't need a bug net. If it's a super clear night I may opt to remove my fly, but keep my bug net. The set up I use most often is my ENO Double Nest with an oversized fly. I roll the fly up out of the way during decent weather and utilize the hammock as a chair. One of the benefits to hammocking is the "open" feeling, and I think this product takes away from that, almost making it feel more like a tent. I think it's pretty neat and well thought out, and would be good if you were in a wet, buggy climate, but for my location I don't think it would be a wise investment.

I think the idea behind it is good. But it looked so tall.. who stands up in their hammocks? It also seemed to lack rain protection from the sideways rain and the rain that falls UP.. anyone who has camped in a t-storm knows rain comes from all directions. My superfly will still be my choice!

Yep My WBSF is on its way to me now!

I think this looks to complex for why we hang.

I think they named it appropriately.

I looked at this too. There are some good ideas in it but it looks really bulky. I went for a WBSF and am very happy with that.

The more I thought about this the more I think it would be ok for a net less hammock like a Grand Trunk or ENO. By the time you get a bug net and tarp you're probably pretty close to the same bulk as this thing. I won't be buying one but if I was just getting into hammocking it might hav some appeal. Anyway, its nice seeing people trying to better this great method of sleeping.

I like the thought that went into the mosquito netting attached to the underside of the tarp. More open feeling and such.

I think it looks pretty good.
I won't be in the market for a new hammock for a very long time (unless things go awry) so won't need to replace my WBmj system.
In the video I watched, they don't mention adding a UQ to the thing but I imagine it's possible.
