Hello HF,
I’m looking at getting my first hammock and have been looking at the ENO Double Nest and the WBBB 1.7. I leaning more to the Blackbird buy I have a concern that at 6.2 and 275# is that it’s wide enough. Thanks for the help.
First Hammock
Hello HF,
I’m looking at getting my first hammock and have been looking at the ENO Double Nest and the WBBB 1.7. I leaning more to the Blackbird buy I have a concern that at 6.2 and 275# is that it’s wide enough. Thanks for the help.
I can't speak to the Eno (no first-hand experience), but the Blackbird is big enough in both length and width for you.Originally Posted by Bearclaw

I cant speak about the ENO either but I am 6' 215 and I have more then enough room and feel plenty secure in the 1.7 dbl. It does feel a bit sketchy at first and im not gonna lie the first time I layed down I was counting the seconds that I was going to be on my a$$ but after a couple of lay's and a few nights sleep I swear that my WBBB is way more comfortable then my bed which is a king size
Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

The ENO DN, which I just got, will hold you just fine. I know this for a fact, I am 6'1" and @300, you will be fine in it. WBB comes very highly recommended and should give you no problems from what I have seen and read.
my brother uses a eno double. hes 257# 6'4" . it seems to be very good to him ,as his snoring keeps me up on trips . the last trip he was so loud the coyotes where howling.haha . but seriously when i got into hanging i went cheap at first then dove in .if it was me .. i would go with the eno .see if you like hammocks.somekind of tarp and pad ..hang that tweek it exp with it have fun with . if you like it get the wbbb and keep both .although i dont own either hammock i have slept in the eno its pretty nice .youll really want to keep it around. dont really need to say anything about the wb thats a no brainer.
but thats just me.. HYOH
Day one in WBBB
Just got my blackbird today. Retirement gift to myself. I'm 6'2" and 220 #. Fits well, and feels totally secure. Am learning how to use my Thermorests. Have two of them and will try both together this weekend, on a two night hang. EVERYTHING I have learned in the past six months of studying about hammocks tells me this is the best available. Love not groundpounding anymore. "Tumbleweed" in central WI.
i know of at least a few happy BB customers in the 350+ range.
I ordered the WB BlackBird today. Now I can look for a tarp
You'll be happy with it! The Blackbird is a great product.I ordered the WB BlackBird today. Now I can look for a tarp
