Hmm, some great replies here. Btw I've been wondering, are there customary standards/culture of replying to each post individually? I'm an overthinker but I'm also very grateful for every reply I get when I'm posting to learn.
The only conclusion I can end on with these great replies is that I should buy both. Is there such a thing as tarp-addiction? Hammocking seems to be like drugs, one hang and you're hooked or sumtin. Nobody warned me. I've already noticed I can't go anywhere without automatically scanning for good spots to hang a hammock, even indoors.
Nah, not gonna buy both right now. I think I'll wait with the doors until I've read up on more reviews. Also my brother is moving to the US soon to work as a professor, so I'll have him ship stuff to me. Shipping now during Covid takes forever.
I enjoy reading reviews and looking for the ultimate design, but it's also a bit tiresome. Honestly the hammock-market feels saturated, and even though I fully support and appreciate all these homegrown garage-companies (like 99% North American), at some point it doesn't really matter which product one chooses. But every review I see of any product there's always specific complaints that seem reasonable to me. Hoping one day to find product reviews with no complaints.
I'll go for the hex now and go for the most perfect tarp w/doors I can find after doing some research. So far I only got the standard small tarp from HH and its lackings are obvious.
To the person mentioning snakeskins: Yeah I bought them but much prefer stuffsacks. My continuous rl is set up with the stuffsack hanging at one end via prussiks. Also any specific reasons to keep the rl over the tarp in rainy conditions? I enjoy the sharp line a continuous rl gives me when it's under, but I never tried over so maybe it'll be the same.
To the one mentioning the sognefjord. It's a bit away from me, but lots of cruises go from Bergen to those fjords.
And finally, maybe it'll pass if I get more active here but a reply from Shug in this place is to me like getting a reply from Hendrix on a guitar forum. #starstruck
