Gelert Solo

bit snug for 6'3" but it's 1.5kg, compact & was piss cheap. only real downside is it's pitch inner first.

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL1 reporting.

Decent amount of room, 2lb 8oz packed, fast to set up, served me well over 180 nights so far. The seams leak a bit but its fixable.

North Face Microlight FS2, got it and the footprint for about $200 thanks to a coupon code provided by a friendly anon. Pretty happy with it, though I've only taken it out twice so far.

I have a Sarvis SL1, which is like the Seedhouse but has a single-wall tail end made of eVent. It's highly flammable! And discontinued!

It's treated me well for many seasons, but alas the seams have all failed utterly and the fly fabric is degrading. Oh, woe! Woe! I have to buy a new tent!

Just ordered a Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter. It's my first hammock, going to try it out this weekend on a short trip, and taking it on a VT section hike of the AT this summer. Got some better straps than stock and still debating what I'm doing for rain cover, probably tyvek, until I can afford something nice.

I have a single-nest eno hammock now. My dog chewed part of it up, so hopefully I can use the warranty and switch it out for a grand tree w/ the bug net, or at least upgrade it to a double.

gonna use it this summer.
Only drawback i've seen after pitching it 1 time is that you have to take wind direction into occation
