Im not sure why the SB wasnt comfortable for me, or if the others were just more comfortable. I did not feel that the fabric in the SB I had stretched enough to get to a sweet spot. I think I need the length to get to my comfortable spot.

Great, another hammock to buy!

Although I will wait until they come out with a SL 1.1

My wife is going to kill me... that's all I'm going to say. Anything else would be incriminating.

I have to be faithful to my new girl, the Night Owl. No cheating with a SB. Can't do it! I took my commitment seriously. I am however considerin an affair with her sister, the Lite Owl. Sister wives, ohhhh!

I went to their site and dont see the single layer Lite Owl only the double layer. Am I missing it? I will contact the maker and ask about a SL.

Does anyone know what an unrigged Lite Owl weighs?

It can be found here.

I wonder if I could rig something like this up for my next DIY hammock. I had not considered adding shockcord in the seam for a quasi-footbox. Hmmm....

Anyone have the dimensions of the shockcord and its exact location?
