NO WAY IN THE WORLD WOULD I SPEND ONE PENNY ON THAT THING! I would go bankrupt turning loads down because I would be too comfortable to get up.

Why is that? His system seemed to work perfectly. I heard he is partnering up with John E and they are moving into production shortly which is the reason they are at the Expo. They are debating between 2 names for the company, Raccoon Eyes Inc or Lone Ranger Industries.

Honestly........Who could really get a good nights sleep in a "Hammock"??
There is only 1 position you can lay in in a Hammock.......and that is in a V position while on your back. Ever tried to lay in a V position on your side, or your stomach, while in a Hammock?? It just doesn't work.......
Hammocks are just one of those items that's all "Cutesy" and stuff. Sure...you wanna lay there and read a book for an hour too, or stare at the sky for a while.....Hammocks are great. You need to get a good 6-8 hours sleep to function like a normal human being......Hammocks are worthless for that.

Dont forget about the "totally exhausted" factor. Your right, its not the optimum solution for quality rest, but MIGHT be a good solution for someone that doesnt have a bunk, and needs a short cat nap. I know after 11 hours of night driving..my bumpy bunk feels like ambrosia.
According to my eldest son, there are other things that are difficult in a hammock, especially at 0300 and with alcohol consumption that went slightly beyond moderate. Did make for an entertaining story though...
I agree with Brisco. I'm a hammock guy, yet I have never slept a whole night in a hammock. Hammocks are great for napping, reading and just relaxing in. I have tested some high end, two person hammocks, that with a thin mattress pad or better yet 3 inches of memory foam would be make for a good 6 to 8 hours night sleep.

I saw one of these last year at a K-mart & I really wanted to buy it. When I returned a few days later it was gone. I looked all over even Amazon & wasn't able to locate one. Needless to say i'm buying this TODAY!
Your right they do make high end camping hammocks. Some long distance hikers swear by them because of the lightweight. In outdoor settings they also don't need level ground or smooth areas. They have other benefits when it comes to bugs and other vermon.
One of the most highly regarded brands are those made by Hennessy.
