I don't know. I would think it wouldn't be so bad but I guess 60 nights you might get a little fuzzed off about it.

I got lucky and bought during a holiday sale with a discount card so I got the one link system with atlas straps and double deluxe hammock, then I also got the Ridgeline (but it really isn't much structure unless we are talking two different things?), Underbelly gear sling, a pillow and a tek towel. I plan on getting a Pronest to cut down weight even more because the double was mainly for the hopes of cuddling with someone special and for the usefulness for summer hanging out with friends.
