I've been thinking of getting a hammock. Just wondering about what kind to get. I'm not so much interested in sleeping in it, but hanging around at home and camp sounds like a great way to go. I've tried several kinds- the backyard kind made out of ropes that is held open by a spreader bar, a woven fabric type from South America, and one of woven nylon thread from Mexico. By far and away, the best type I've tried was the woven nylon thread hammock. I don't have experience with the parachute material type. From my perspecive, there's advantages and disadvantages to each type. Any recommendations? Oh, and @Nick, I'd be happy to write a gear review if you could help acquire a test model.
