hammock?

got a new hammock now to replace the one in the video for el cheapo, its got a mosquito net and quite a roomy interior. A big upgrade indeed. I'm loving it but looking to see if i can get it slightly modified so i can get in from the top. I still need that sewing machine!!

So my current shelter is a hennesy ultralight hammock and a integral design silwing tarp and weighs in at a total of 1.17kg. This competes with my msr hubba tent weighing in at 1.4kg which is strange considering it has tent poles and all that.


so i wonder next time i'm out, hammock or tent?
