Tom is a great bloke and the hammocks are fantastic.. Here's a review I posted on my forum:
A couple of years ago me and Giz wanted a good hammock each so after much research we settled on a Jungle Hammock from
www.MOSQUITOHAMMOCK.com and it proved a very good choice. We have tested them in the UK in Dartmoor, Brecon Beacons, New Forest, Savernake Forest, the Chiltern Hills and also France, Spain, Andorra and Hungary. And a cross channel ferry- I got a good night's kip after I strung it up on deck behind the Bridge as the inside was full of noisy French truckers. Nobody minded..
Anyhow, they have a double layer waterproof bottom which has room to insert a kip mat. A kipmat is ESSENTIAL in a hammock as you have no insulation at all underneath as the sleeping bag is compressed and your **** is swinging in the mid air breeze. It also has a stitched in mossy net which works perfectly. Once tied with the Spacemonkey Hammock Knot style it will barely rock and is super stable. You can move around to your heart's content in the night and you won't fall out. The hammock is also quite enclosing so it's very windproof too. I pace out two trees 3m apart and tie the hammock tight at chest height. This gives just enough slack once sat in it to just have your feet off the floor. I know some prefer a droopy hammock, but there is more chance of the hammock slipping down the tree and it is very bad if you have a dodgy back. The tarp is fixed with bungees just above the hammock knot, and the mossy net string is attached here too. I do the tarp in a diamond formation if possible, but if the trees are a bit closer, I will have to use the square formation. Either is good. The tarp is always fixed with bungees and in the morning I place a stick about 4ft high in the corners to open up the tarp like a tent and raise the middle 'ridge'. This gives a nice open yet sheltered working/cooking/admin area. I use a 3mx3m tarp. I usually cut a small stick to stretch the mossy net open into a good box. Less claustraphobic this way.
Tom, the guy who makes them, is a great bloke. He set off from the US in a Cessna in 92 to fly around the world... He seems to have got sidetracked in Thailand! These hammocks help fund his travels/living. They are very cheap for what you get, and of course you can get the jungle hammock cheaper if you ask for it without the fly.
This is one of those bits of kit that has proved itself over and over again. We have even camped over streams with it- something you'd never do with a tent or basha/bivvy!
