    Dilemma

    I have an Eno DN, with whoopies and a wilderness logics bug net. It is comfortable but I can't seem to get the sleep angle I want with the net on. Without it, it is perfect. Now the dilemma. My fiance wants to hang. Do I buy her a SN and convert to whoopies, give her my bugnet and buy myself a bigger net OR do I buy myself a WBBB 1.1 double and give her my DN.

    Why didn't you go with the ENO bug net
    In my DN it doesn't seem to impede the Sleep angle at all for me

    From experience the ENO "Guardian" Bug Net is a beast. Its a little heavy and very bulky. The trade-off: there is tons of room inside it.

    HYOH, but I like my integrated nets.

    I've never been a fan of sock style of bug nets for the reason you've pointed out. In my opinion integrated bug nets are the way to go. I am surprised more people don't give the Hammock Bliss No-See-Um No more hammock more attention. It is essentially an ENO single nest with an integrated bug net.

    As for your case, you know as soon as the fiance tries the WBBB she will claim it. So you might just as well save your pennies and buy 2 from beginning.

    Cheers

    I think I agree, WBBB DL as a goto hammock. When/after your fiance appropriates the WBBB, use that as an excuse to expand your horizons and fleet. It seems like the more time I spend on HF the more ideas I get for the next hammock. If someone took over my goto hammock,well, I would be forced to begin a search to replace it, Wouldn't you?

    If possible get 2 WBBB's and if she does not like it you can always sell it.
