... if you don't mind them being mesh ones. I don't like them because they're impossible to get in and always roll up in the night and dump you on the ground... plus asyms are kinder on your back. But I agree it's a good budget choice.luxorone said:if you just want something cheap to start you off try army surplus stores.
endicotts in exeter did have some cheap hammocks for £6.99

It's not that bad. I think the best thing to to is tie out the sides with two bits of string and pegs. That way it is held open so you can get in without having to hold it - otherwise it is just like a rope. Alternatively, when you're in, tie a bit of string from the edges over your chest, so the edges don't retreat under your body back to their rope shape... or else you'll be on the floor I'd also recommend pitching it tight so you have a nice straight backluxorone said:ooops.

rolls up and dumps you on the ground you say?
