Would love to hear your comparison of your HH to this. It's exactly the setup I am considering getting.

I noticed here that they may have blems:

Blemishes
These products have slight blemishes to them, but otherwise function as intended. For more information on each blemish item, please contact us.

assorted hammocks, tarps, and quilts

So I contacted them and they offered me a blem WBRR 1.1 double for $40 off. They shipped it six days after receiving payment and it arrived three days later.

I don't know what's wrong with it -- whatever it is, I couldn't see it. Looks perfect to me.

Am very excited. Just set it up in back yard and it is absolutely spectacular. Really looking forward to sleeping in it tonight!

I did not see any shipping notice. Also its supposed to rain till Wednesday then we will be out of town this weekend so no chance to do a close look until next week.

Wow CeeVee, I see you ordered on 9-8 and got it today. That was fast!!! Maybe I'll be that lucky.

Puzzling that I didn't get any email re shipping.

BTW Hammock with straps 1 lb, 9.4 oz and Fly is 14.3 oz on our scale.

Waiting for opportunity to practice hang in that backyard. I want to have the set-up streamlined and down-pat before use.

One thing I have yet to see is a discussion of setting up in the rain. I want to perfect that before (!) I start carrying this on the trail.

'Time was when I didn't consider that skill a necessity - we live and (sometimes) learn.

"Setting up in the rain..."
Tarp first works good for me, setup high enough to work under. Lower tarp once hammock is set

It's probably a good idea to practice this maneuver once without being rained on. I had to adjust my tarp once in a downpour and found it much more involved than I had pictured in my mind.

What's easy to do in clear weather becomes difficult to do in the rain. Line slip, things get muddy, stakes can pull out easier, etc..

The last thing you want to find out on the trail, in the rain, is that you need to change how you spliced your tieouts or something.
