I have been backpacking for almost a decade now, and half that time I have been thinking about getting a hammock. I just moved to Eastern Pennsylvania (any backpacking locations I would appreciate, Smoky Mtns and surrounding places was my old stomping grounds), and with the financial side of things looking up I am seriously looking into buying a hammock.
I have messed around with a buddies hammock several times, researched for I do not know how long, and now I am torn between the HH Explorer Deluxe Asym Zip or the Warbonnet Blackbird. I have been debating between the two for a month now. This debate, the huge amount of knowledge in this forum, and the positive openness of this forum have led to me joining this forum.
I am a few inches above 6' tall and weigh in at 200 lbs, I enjoy backpacking all year round (especially winter camping), I have gone through so much data on other places and this forum and still cannot decide.
So other than to say HI and thank you for the information you have already provided me in the forums, I was wondering what this communities thoughts were? Which ever company I go with I will be getting their largest tarp. (Hex Tarp or the Superfly). If there is a company out there I am better off with I am all ears to suggestions. I am also in the market for a large area tarp just for hanging out in away from the hammock, any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks again for having such a great wealth of information in this forum,
The Mule
