Maybe I'll should go with the EOS hammock and bug screen,use my 10 x 10 CCS tarp, and the Big Agnes sleeping bag with pad. That's probably the cheapest way to go. [smiley=dankk2.gif]

 IF your concerned about whether a hammock instead of a tent is right for you, this might be a cheaper way to find out?
 I have this hammock. I have slept in it when forced to bush camp when forced off the water by high winds. I'm a tosser and turner, so a hammock isn't for me everyday. I bring it every trip, and wouldn't be without it. I set it up close to water and bugs or no bugs, its a safe haven
I bought the EOS deluxe Slap straps, and a couple of carabiners, to make it easy to hang without damaging the tree bark. Its much cheaper than the EOS set-up, but the bug net is smaller and IF you enjoy the hammock experience, then I'd go for the more expensive set-up, and take the Byer for a spare or siesta set-up. I can guarantee that if your in a group setting, people will fight too get into it ;)
