How is the footbox different in the blackbird? I've decided that it would only be about $25 cheaper for me to make my own dual layer 1.9 ounce hammock than just buying a traveler. Is the lay on the blackbird more comfortable than in the traveler? The hammocks that I currently have are a hennessey and a eno doublenest. I'm actually more comfortable in the eno than in the hennessey despite the asymetrical cut of the hennessey.
I'm not sold on the integral bug netting. I know that it may be all in my head but I feel a bit more trapped in my hennessey than I do in my eno with the bug netting surrounding the whole hammock. It's also easier to pull down the side of my hammock to see what kind of animal just snorted next to my hammock (or it feels that way to me).
Are there any other hammocks that I should be considering that are double layer and sturdy enough to hold about 285 lbs?
