Not all cottage industry folk are good at web design or even writing up descriptions. Brandon has done a thorough job overall, IMO.
So now you're in this pickle, as sweeeeeet hammock and no biners. I can imagine the fustration. I understand. When I ordered my WBBB years ago, I forgot to order the backyard trees. :D What to do?
+1 on this. Also, including the biner might also increase the shipping costs.
Ask a friend. Probably someone has some biners they can lend you. Or ask someone on here to send you a set (you pay shipping and/or small used biner fee). Who knows, they might even hand deliver them to you, if that's the type of white glove service your looking for. There are nice roads in WVA. :)
BTW- What are you going to do if you are in the woods and loose that precious biner? While waiting on the postal system to deliver the linchpin to your hammock nirvana, perhaps learn alternatives. Speers has a No-Knot system, Ray Mears has and interesting way of tying tape, and many more online solutions are at your finger tips. Heck, I just saw Mythbusters and they made rope out of duct tape for their hammocks! (not that anyone should try this at home....:scared:)
Again, I feel your pain. I am still waiting on those trees to grow to maturity. :rolleyes:
