I then bought a new Double layer jungle explorer, then a new Safari Jungle.
The Jungle safari is larger and more comfy than the others. (I canoe/Kayak camp so weight is not an issue)
My now 16 year old son has been telling me he has not been able to get comfy/full night sleep in his HH explorer, so I got him a WBBB XLC for his birthday, way more comfy then the HH
I just recently "discovered" the cottage industry of hammock makes.
For what I paid for the made in china hennesy safri jungle (around 299.00) I could have bought a Blackbird XLC, Chameleon or Darien, etc. )
I ordered the Darien to replace my HH Jungle I use, the Darien in Double layer, 2.2 hex material (Of MY color choice), my zipper type, in extra long and WAY EXTRA wide comes in way LESS than the off the shelf, smaller Hennesy
