[at-l] Hammocks

I was in an outfitters in Saranac Lake yesterday and saw one of these
<http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/index.html#prod>. The hammock
appers to be well made.and the hanging strap system looks slick but
their bug net is overkill and the rain fly is weird. They've basically
taken a 10X10 tarp and cut a bunch of arcs into it to make a batwing
sort of shape. I would think a full 8X10 silnylon tarp would give you
more coverage, weigh less and need 2 less tie-outs.
