Guess I'll do it for OP. Purchase link for version shown in video. $144 on Amazon. A couple other models are on Amazon too, or I found a bunch of versions on the manufacturer website. Definitely going in my Amazon wishlist.
I've got a traditional Pawley's Island rope hammock for backyard use, but after getting a Hennessey Hammock for camping I don't even bother with the rope one anymore. Even in the backyard, the Hennessey is so quick to set up, and unlike the rope one, doesn't leave red rope pressure impressions on my calves. With the Hennessy you've got rain and mosquito protection if you want it, but you don't have to get in it if you don't want to. You can just flip it over and use it like a regular lay on top or sit on top hammock/ chair sling if you desire. It's too long to fit in a standard metal hammock cradle, though, if that's important to you.
This is a spreader bar hammock not a mayan hammock most commonly seen on this subreddit. the spreader bar negates most benefits of a hammock; it makes it weigh more (4 lbs. opposed to about 2 for a mayan hammock with bug net and tarp), it will topple easily, and probably leave you with a sore back in the morning. This hammock setup also costs $140, for this price you could buy similar mayan setup like this one or choose from many other options.
Check into Hennessy Hammocks. They're well built. I use an ENO but several friends have Hennessy and love them.
Here's one for reference

I just realized that I think most things on my list are cool. I guess I'm going to say this hammock. It looks super easy and super comfortable and super awesome. And I've always wanted to have a hammock. Seriously, can you imagine? Part of me wants to set it up in my living room or something so I can watch TV or read a book whilst in a hammock!
Hammocks are the best, I just bought the Hennessy expedition. http://www.amazon.com/Hennessy-Hammock-HEN-EXPED-Expedition-A-sym/dp/B0011KZREC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346379427&sr=8-1&keywords=hennessy+hammock
Sure, no problem!

I strap a waterproof backpack to the rollbag, containing:

On the tunnel bag:
In the tunnel bag:
I always bring more than that, but that's my bare minimum. On longer trips or trips that go through the night, I'll pack a gas can in case I have to go a couple of hundred miles between fill-ups.
