    GLP - I believe the WBBB 1.1 DL is shown at 31.25 oz on their website. That means your savings is 5.65 oz.

    All of you have had a nice weight reduction and you save on pack size too. Thanks.

    Hammocking is getting way too complicated

    I've been lured into hammocking, from the tarp/tent world, by the siren song of comfort. So, what do I want, a cold, hard tent floor or a warm, embracing, cocooning, and comforting hammock that...

    How does one know whether to choose a HH vs Warbonnet vs Clark vs JRB vs "other"?

    It seems there are more moving parts to choose when buying a hammock vs. a tent. The process seems daunting.
