Anyway, like I said, I'm not looking to buy another hammock, I'm just wondering what makes people want to "upgrade." I still kinda have a hunch it's that same bug that gets everybody who gets into any pastime, like how one bike is ok, but once you get that second bike, suddenly you need like fifteen.
