    Considering WBBB

    So, I say to my wife ( a non hanger ), "I think I would like to upgrade to a WBBB because I think the Expedition is too small and I don't like the bottom entry". Only had 1 night sleep in it so far. She says to me "how do you know you'll like the WBBB"?

    The reason for my post is to see if there is anyone interested in a gently used HH Expedition with with buckles and straps and stock tarp. It's been used about 5-6 times, like I said though, only one all nighter. The tarp has only been hung once and I deemed it useless because of it's size. I did, however, modify the hammock bag by cutting a small hole in the corner to create a make shift Bishop Bag just big enough for the supsension to come thru. It is completely stock except for the suspension, which I will gladly throw in, so no zipper mod yet.

    I haven't made the decision to sell yet but wanted to see who's interested if at all. I figure I can use a DIY till Brandon gets back to the swing of things.

    Besides, if I don't like the WBBB I'm sure I could find someone to sell it to.

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    When you do decide to sell it, be sure to post it in the For Sale forum. I'm sure you will be able to sell it there.

    I haven't heard of anyone yet who has been disappointed with their WB. Your wife can rest assured that you will like it. And as you say, there's always a market for it if you don't.

    I'm sure you'll like it but you are right and be able to sell it if you don't. RaulPerez did a good comparison of the two on youtube.

    Got a Warbonnet BB for the wife as a b'day present with out telling her and she fell in love with it ( I also have one). Very nice hammocks. Thinking about rounding out my collection with a Warbonnet traveler.

    Worse case is that you will not like it and if you have to sell it, Warbonnets sell fast.

    lol just buy two and get it over with. If you are going for the present theme.

    My first was a HH and my last is the WBBB. Its a totally different comfort compared to the HHs. You'll love it.

    Can you give some specifics please? Right now, I'm torn between a WBBB and a HH Deep Jungle XL Zip.

    Flat lay. Lots of shoulder room. Cottage Industry. My HH even has 2QZQ mod3 on it and my WBBB finds it way to my pack first every time.

    Post a thread that you want to try a WBBB in PA. There are plenty of users in your state with the hammock you might want. That way you can try it before you buy it.
