    Comments about Byer The Moskito Traveller:

    Bug netting is complete manure! First night I used the product, the net ripped from it's attachment points, and then all along the non-zippered side. Thank God I had the wit to simply flip it over; you can use the other side if you don't want to use the netting. The attachment point lines tend to get twisted very easily, so does the ridgeline. I think perhaps better material selection might help this.
    I bought this hammock when I decided I wanted to try tree hugging. Not knowing what it was all about, I decided to get this one over a more expensive hammock & net setup. Took it out one afternoon and practised setting it up, everything went smooth, other than the fact that the ridgeline twists into a million knots if you look at it wrong! Get her out on the trail, and what do you know, the netting rips! I am 5'9", 130 btw, so I don't think that was a factor. Perhaps it was a fluke, who knows. I have used the hammock twice since on 2-4 night trips, and no problems. I continue to use it upside down and use an additional net from another company.

    I would recommend this to someone experimenting with hammocking, or a cheapo like me! But I would warn that you really are getting what you pay for in terms of quality.

    The delivery was FAST! I haven't used it yet, but I hope the customer service / returns department is nice!

        This hammock does not hold up. I haven't even had it out on a camping trip yet and the zipper is broken, there are too many cords, it is not easy to set up.

            Comments about Byer The Moskito Traveller:

            After reading some of the comments on this product I decided to write my own. I'd always used a hammock for lounging around the campsite on BWCAW trips. Once I tried actually sleeping in my first Byer Hammock I'll never go back to sleeping on the ground! You really need to sleep diagonally in these to get a flatter sleep. You don't want to sleep like a banana all night. By lying diagonally you flatten out your sleeping posture into a much more comfortable position. Bug netting works great. Yes, you may need a rain-fly, but what "tent" doesn't. I use an oversized Poncho and it works fine. You could easily spend 2-3 times more and not achieve a better nights sleep than with the Moskito Hammock! Also, invest in their easy adjust ropes, they make set-up a breeze and still fit in the stuff sack with the Hammock.

                    It is good for backpacking, when you don't want to carry a tent. It had mosquito netting and it was light, but it's hard to sleep in a sling when you're over a certain age. But my teenager was ok with it.

                        I camped in this hammock on an island for a week.
                        It needs a separate rain tarp. I fell out once, so I set it up close to the ground.
                        It is light weight, good for carrying, not so durable.
                        Recommendation to a friend would depend on where he/she was planning to use it.

                            you need to purchase or improvise a way to hang the hammock to a tree or pole. "Slap straps" add about another 40% to cost.

                                I would say the hammock is included as they talk about "The bed is made of extremely durable and strong parachute nylon." The only things that it looks like you would need to add is some sort of means to attach it to trees/posts (rope, slap straps, carabiners) and a rain fly. Looks good for the price, to me.
