First Look – Hammock Gear Zippered Bug Net Hammock

A look at the new Hammock Gear Zippered Bug Net Hammock.

For this backpacking and hammock camping gear video, I’ll be taking a look at the Hammock Gear’s new hammock with integrated bug net. This is Hammock Gear’s first foray into making their own hammock (they also released a netless version), and I’m quite impressed.  I’m looking forward to getting it out on an upcoming backpacking trip video.  I’ll go over the various features, specs, and my own personal experiences with the HG Hammock so far.

Correction: I mentioned in the video that their are 4 internal grosgrain loop, but their are actually 6.
