    Had my first hammock experience Saturday. WBBB 1.7, it is worth the cash. I'm 315lbs and it takes the weight. Easy to setup, easy to adjust with the cinch buckles and the stuff sack it comes in does the job. The foot box allows a flatter lay and the tie outs along with the built in ridge line keep the netting away from your face, which is very nice.

    Grand Trunk Nano, Hammock Gear Burrow 20 and Hammock Gear Diamond tarp.

    I use a windshield sunscreen under me.

    I am considering a 3/4 underquilt to extend use of the hammock.

    When I look at Eno's (that seem to advertised everywhere) they look like the sides come up way to high for my liking? What say you?

    You need that extra width to lay on a diagonal to get a somewhat flat lay. At just over 9ft, the ENO still wasn't really long enough for me to get a flat lay. I am now the proud owner of a Dream Hammock Darien. Just under 15oz and has an integrated bug net.

    Building a new ultralight setup based around a 9' hexon 1.0 from Dutch... At 5'8" I find a 9 footer plenty comfy for thru hiking purposes

    I'm in a similar boat. My Half-Wit arrives tomorrow.
    Remote for detachment, narrow for chosen company, winding for leisure, lonely for contemplation, the Trail beckons not merely north and south, but upward to the body, mind, and soul of man.

    The most comfortable hammock I've laid in, is my SLD Trail Lair. Don't ask me why it's more comfortable than my others. I don't know.

    It's magic.

    Poof.

    Changed my mind at the last minute re half-wit. Ordered 11 ft wide netless in hexon 1.6 from Dutch with an 11 ft Fronkey. Oh, went with a structural ridgeline really just for the Fronkey.

    I own three models from Dream Hammock. The Darien, The Roaming Gnome and The Thunderbird. Excellent quality, built to your specifications, top notch customer service, affordable and a member of our community. They are just one of many cottage vendors here who make an excellent product. My first hammock was a Hennessy. I enjoyed it but it was too heavy. I wanted a hammock that could be customized to shave ounces.

    How do you fing the Dual Knotty mods for a regular width Dutch. It seems he advertise them for larger width hammock so I am wondering if they are any good.

    Started with Hennessey Expedition Asym.Sorta heavy with a tiny tarp.Got their larger tarp.Hated their insulation system.Went to a Dutch Argon netless with JRB Winter Nest and UQ2Q uq protector for winter use.For 3 season use a WBBB 1.1DL and an HG Phoenix 20 uq.I fought with pads for a long time that were hard to stay on top of,even in the DL WBBB so I bit the bullet and went for the downy goodness-NO going back to pads now............
