    Pick your Poison

    Haven't seen one of these real recently and a post I read today got me wondering about it. I've had some casual conversations with folks about it over the last couple of months, but I wonder about the trend within the community as a whole.

    What is your primary style of hammock?

    Gathered; like Warbonnet, Hennessy, etc.

    Cinched; like Clarks, Claytors, etc.

    Bridge: like JRB, Eureka, etc.

    I'll throw in an "other" category too for rigs like the one from Exped; which I have no idea what to label.

    Just an exercise in curiosity and being nosy.
    Trust nobody!

    So far, all of mine have been of the gathered variety. I am interested in trying out a bridge hammock at some point.

    I'm pretty much sold on gathered-end 11 ft. hammocks with independent bugnet. The integrated bugnet really annoyed me when camping this winter.

    All of my DIY's are gathered end but I have been playing with redoleary's mini bridge which I like a lot.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.
