    What makes war bonnet hammocks so great?

    I'm pretty new to Hammock camping. I've got a double nest and I've tried out a Hennesy explorer. So I don't know a whole lot about hammocks in general.

    It seems that the war bonnet hammocks are really popular here.
    I was wondering what features go into making a hammock so popular.

    I'm thinking of getting a better camping hammock set up and wanted to find out more about what makes a good hammock.

    Just because. No, Really it is a fine piece of workmanship from a small American cottage business which has for me all the features I was looking for in a few of the "larger companies" combined in one unit. Top loader, double layer, shelf/storage, light, well crafted and WIDE! Comfortable to say the least! Hope this helps.

    plus, after sleeping in it you are obligated to climb trees while wearing a battle helmet and flap your wings while cawwing like a black bird. just in case you didnt know.

    Mine didn't come with a battle helmet. Was that an option I should have added before checkout?
