Hey guys (and gals) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
So here I am asking a beginner question becasue I have no experience with this. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Where I live theres either a pine tree or a sharp rock, or its too close to a lake for a tent. A hammock hanging above this stuff would be easier to pitch than a tent. I am used to carrying 3-4 pounds of tent, so a 4 pound hammock wold be ok. I need bug proof, and reasonable waterproofness.

I tried out Bigfoots hennesy hammock and I was not very impressed. I Have been looking at GI jungle tents, and modern knockoffs. I do not like the stretchy hanging in a plastic bag feel of the Hennesy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if there are any "cots" that weigh in the right range. Maybe a cot with the legs removed and ropes added for a flat sleeping postion? Hmm I think an aluminum framed cot with no legs and 4 corner ropes - maybe 2 in the middle- that join over head and the whole thing is hung from a branch - like a climbers porta ledge? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any reccommendations?
