Folding hammock recommendations?

[thezentree]

One of my friends got a folding hammock as a bday present from his wife a few years back and he's brought it on a few camping trips. I've fallen in love with it and want my own.

I need one with a folding frame so I can use it in my yard with its one tree, and am looking for something that collapses down to something relatively compact for car camping trips. My buddy's fits in a bag about the size of a walmart camping chair, which seems reasonable to me.

Anyone have experience with something like this?

The TurtleDog stand

Ok, I've been putting it off too long! After seeing the olddog modifications to the turtlelady bamboo stand I knew I needed one. I am planning on hanging inside full time and wanted to use it in the house. But... I've been happy spending most nights hanging outside in the back yard. Summer...
