When Dutch came out with the Half Wit hammock about a week before I was leaving for my 8 day, 107 mile hike on the Long Trail I decided to pull the trigger and get one. To say I was apprehensive about a 1/2 bug net hammock during the peak of Vermont black fly season is an understatement. So much so I placed another full bug net hammock into my resupply cache at day 4. Well, I ended up staying with the Half Wit and never looked back. At 9.8 ounces I am sold, this will be my goto ultra light backpacking hammock from here on out. The integrated knotty mod, and 10'6" length make this incredibly comfortable to boot.
I found it easy to adjust my quilts as needed and the design of the net allowed me to tuck / drape it around my quilts and most importantly I didn't have any buzzing friends visit me at night OR during my afternoon naps
I am glad Dutch (our Half Wit designer) came out with the Half Wit (the hammock)
Thanks for watching,
Rob
