Greetings from a soon to be new hanger.

Welcome to the forums!

The Warbonnet Faithful will surely be along to give the hard-sell, but rest assured, anything you choose from the reputable vendors (Clark, Warbonnet, Jacks R Better, Speer, Hennessy, ENO, etc) is going to be way better than a tent and you'll probably be very happy! Don't get too concerned with all the hype on any one thing until you've had a chance to experience all the options for yourself.
And actually you'll find fans of all the makers around here.

That said, I think it's pretty cool that the people here are strong supporters of the small cottage businesses, such as Warbonnet! I hear that guy makes a fine hammock and I hope to own one of my own someday...


Again, welcome and enjoy!

Well, it took a bit over a year...with a new job and moving in between, but I've finally started collecting my gear. I've received word that my WBBB is on the way, I've got a Superfly from Brandon ordered as well but it is listed on backorder so I might be waiting a few weeks for it. I can always use a cheap old blue or silver tarp in the backyard while testing out the WBBB until it comes in. Since I now live in Charleston, SC area (again after many years away) and I remember the Springs being short and the Summers being brutally hot/humid, I haven't really considered and underquilt just yet. I'll use my Big Agnes sleeping bag (that I got a few years back for tent camping) as a top quilt. I could also use the pad I have with it since the WBBB is a double layer...I hear that you can slide a pad in between the layers? I'll find out when it comes in and get it hung for testing. The suspension is the adjustable webbing on it. We'll see how I like it. I love the info that I've read about woopie slings too. The way I see it, this is probably going to be another little money pit for me to enjoy to go along with the new Rubicon I picked up a couple months ago. How conveinent that I'll have a nice comfy hammock setup to use wherever the Rubi can take me.

Anyway, hope to make it to a hang this Spring/Summer if any come around my way that I can make.
