...if so, what do you think? It's about 75/25 yea's on the REI site for reviews, it's extremely light for a hammock/bug together.

This was my first hammock about eight years ago. I did not like the multiple lies at each end. They were always tangled. I didn't like the separate lines for the netting. They did not allow the rain fly to be pitched low in bad weather. I prefer the Hennessy style hammocks for built-in net but I primarily use a Grand Trunk Nano-7 with a structural ridge line or a Warbonnet Traveler with ridge line and a DIY half bug-net for bug season. My Nano-7 weighs 6.9 oz with suspension, my Traveler weighs 7.7 oz with suspension and my HUG bug-net weighs 3.6 oz. You can get a lot more info on the Byer and other hammocks at www.hammockforums.net.

Well you are either in the dessert or a parking lot :-).

You can pitch most hammocks as a bivy under your tarp.

Matt, I know I know I did say that however I am quickly learning about these and I'm liking them alot ...and Southmark is right they can be a bug bivy on the ground as well...
I bought the one above^ yesterday( for the price and weight its hard to beat) and set it up in my backyard last night and they are very comfortable . After I use this one for a bit I'll probably try and make a custom one to fit my size better(6'4")
