    Half-Wit Hammock "The Ultimate Backpacking Hammock"

    Well, I'm convinced. After 8 days in Vermont, during black fly and mosquito (and every other flying critter) season, the Half-Wit is a winner. Well done Dutch! Here is a picture of my 1.2 Half-Wit on top of Killington Mountain (my first Vermont 4,000 footer).

    I'm 5'11" and 230. It feels really good to me. Hands down the flattest lay I've had in any hammock, ever, for me. I have 10 &11 footers and this one is already my favorite. The tiny gaps I got in the bug net were a non issue for me. I did a big, long review of the Half Wit in a thread titled the same.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Are you going to do a review on it, Rob?

    I have to admit, I find it hard to believe that there could be any hammock out there more comfortable than my 10' Dutch Argon but I have to say, the 1.2 PolyD half wit has me VERY tempted to try it out.

    Nice view! I will ha e to check out your review. If you survived black flies, then that's saying something.
    How easy is it to reach over the side and adjust your underquilt?

    Nice review. I am a toss and turner and was wondering if I would get tangled up in the bug net or would it not be an issue?
