Gently swinging back and forth in a hammock is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. You could take a nice long nap in the shade of the two trees your hammock is tied to, and wake up feeling refreshed. That is definitely time well-spent in my opinion. Unless of course, you wake up with hundreds of mosquito bites.

Keeping away the bugs when you’re outdoors is almost an impossible mission if you don’t have some sort of netting around you. The Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Hammock makes sure you are surrounded by breathable mesh and polyester that will keep you out of harm’s reach. It uses two 10′ lengths of 4.5mm climbing rope and two steel “S” hooks to make sure you don’t fall unexpectedly. All this packs down to about the size of a softball, and costs about $60, making it perfect for the backyard or camping excursions.
