Never seen just a mosquito net for the treeboat... ?

Also does anyone know if NewTribe has made a double tree boat?

Ps- Where are those pics of portaledge from Ohio??

Even if NT didn't make a mosey net it's easy to
Get a bunk net from a surplus store and drape it above.

This company was on Gizmag today:

It looks like they've solved the banana back of hammocks. Even a triple!

I made my own portaledge once and liked it alot. The awesome part about ledges is that you only need one tie in point so you can go very high in a tree and not have to worry about finding the perfect branches for the width of a hammock. Here is the one I made. I got the fold-able aluminum cot for free off craigslist so not much was invested:



I think I have uploaded this image to these forums before?

Unfortunately it was very bulky to bushwack with so finding a big old tree hidden in the forest to sleep in was quite difficult. I still prefer camping in the treetops with a hammock but I have been looking for a cheap double ledge for the wife and I. She does not want to sleep solo in a hammock but she said she would sleep in the canopy if she could be next to me. The worst part is that you would have to custom make a mosquito net for your ledge since these can not be bought commercially.
