    Smile Anyone have both the WBBB AND the ENO Doublenest?

    Reason I'm asking is because I have the ENO Doublenest and I like it but I'm wanting to get the Warbonnet Blackbird to add to/start my collection. I'd like to keep the Doublenest as my backup or for guests and use the BB as my primary workhorse hammock. So my question to anyone who has both, which hammock do you prefer. I keep going back and forth on getting the BB. Some people really talk me out of it, and others are encouraging about it so I'm curious what you guys think. Is the Warbonnet Blackbird a much better hammock than the ENO Doublenest? I'm really wanting to get into this as a hobby and I never do anything half-way. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks,
    Travis

    The Blackbird is more than halfway, it comes with suspension, netting, gear loft etc.

    I have both, I like the ENO when I don't have to worry about bugs. I always take the WBBB when I need bug protection.

    I have both and use both for two different things. The ENO is a lounger for the backyard, at camp or on day hikes. The BB is for backpacking, canoeing or car camping in buggy weather. I can get eqaully comfortable in either but the BB has the integrated bugnet, the shelf for stowing gear and the footbox to help get a flatter position. If you are going to be using it for overnight trips in the woods I would recommend the BB or other hammocks with similar features.

    I have both and DIY the Eno for warm/ hot weather no bugs. I agree with above post I rigged my Eno with seat belt strap and rappell rings for quick set up and is great for quick overnight or taking to the park. Son and I use Eno's for many things but DIY and wbbb are for all other camping and backpacking. ( don't use Eno straps junk)

    I own both. The WBBB is for 3-season use when bugs could be an issue.

    The ENO lives on my hammock stand in the spare room most of the year. It's my lounge chair for TV and my swing for rocking my baby to sleep while I hold her. It is also a superb winter hammock, my go-to choice from November through March.

    I have both, the ENO is my backyard or dayhike hammock, the WBBB is the do-it-all of hammocks for me.

    I don't have a wb/bb but I do have the Hennesseys and an ENO double. I recently made a Fronkey Bug net for the ENO double,,, and it is KA! !!!!!
    The ENO has always been the most comfortable to me , but I liked the bug net on the Expedition...

    Thr Fronkey Bug Net made out of tulle is much much much more cooler.

    I also got the eno and bb and echo what most said here. When I have my sister and her husband along on a trip I'll let one of them sleep in my bb and I'll hang in the eno, then we borrow my niece's eno for the third.
