    How soon do you need one? I'm thinking about getting a Warbonnet Blackbird when Brandon gets back. I hear they're roomy and it's hard to beat the shelf.

    I personally have the WBBB 1.7 double and I love it. It is well worth the wait for Brandon to return. I don't know what I would do without the shelf. It is just so handy.

    I am 6' and 275 and I have plenty of room in there.

    I spent one night in a friends Clark NX-250 and I really liked it. For me it is bit on the heavy side for much serious backpacking. I have been mulling around getting one for car camping use and for hunting / fishing camp use. The hammock I use the most is the WBBB 1.7 double. It is an absolutely superb hammock and rightfully earns and deserves all the praise that it gets here on the forums. Either one would fit you just fine. I am 6'3" 230ish.
