    I get a nice sweeping view out of my Ridgerunner.

    I almost always deploy my tarp, and never use porch mode, so no view for me. Besides, I use my hammock for sleeping rather than sightseeing!

    I never got much of a view in the GE hammocks but switching to the RR I can see everything. I also pitch my tarp in porch mode now because of that. It's so comforting to look all around when I hear those noises in the middle of the night.

    My Ridgerunner & Green Hornet are the only I am able to get a view from.

    I really hate being cacooned.
    I am short.

    Question:
    Can Anyone "See" out of their Hammock, as seen in the photo?

    Even with the bug net up.
    Just make sure you can set your tarp into porch mode. I use a 12x12 tarp exclusively for the coverage when both sides are in porch mode. I set stakes for being able to drop the tarp pitch for when weather rolls in, but leave porch mode up whenever possible, just for the views; whether day or night.
    Second the WWRR. It was a remarkable difference compared to my gathered end hammocks. At least for me!

    I third the Warbonnet Ridgerunner. All you need to do is simply turn your head left or right to see natures beauty.

    Hah! I was thinking Simply Light Design's Trail Lair! All my camping hammocks have integrated bug nets. Of them all, my SLD Trail Lair has the most expansive view. Which is great when I want to see out, but, doesn't give me as much privacy hanging tarpless as my Warbonnet Blackbird XLC does. And I still haven't figured out which I like more...better visibility out or more privacy!
