Your First and Current Hammock?

[P-Dub]

First hammock was the backyard cotton rope/oak spreader bar tippy kind hung between 2 trees...could not ever imagine sleeping in that!

First CAMPING hammock was a DIY I put together to see if I would like sleeping in a hammock, after finding this forum. The first time I hung it up and got into it, I fell to the ground and cracked a rib in my back! The problem was that I hung it using a marlin spike hitch, but had unknowingly picked up a rotten stick to use as the toggle, and the stick broke when I climbed in. Fortunately, this did not deter me from hammocking.

My first camping hammock was a bottom entry Hennessey. That was a great hammock to start with. I had read a bunch on here before buying it but I was still pretty confused. I wasn't sure what the difference between a hammock ridgeline and tarp ridgeline were, much less tie outs or quilt hooks. The Hennessey gave me everything I needed to get started in one package. Once I figured things out a little bit I upgraded. Many hammocks later I am using a Dutch Chameleon and JRB Bear Mountain Bridge as my main hammocks.

Started out with a BIAS Weight Weenie gathered end hammock and that is still what I'm using. Along the way I tried a bridge hammock and did not find the extra weight led to more comfort, so sold it off.

Hennessey Hammock Explorer Deluxe Classic XL w/hex tarp was my first hammock. Current favorite hammock is a Warbonnet (WB) Eldorado and a WB Minifly tarp. I also use a WB Traveler netless hammock for day trips. I use the becket hitch suspension on both WB hammocks.
