Shug - If it's anywhere near as comfortable as the Light Owl, you will have a new favorite hammock.

WV - The headbox/footbox is adjustable, and the hammock should "sit" just fine with the boxes "loosened" all the way. My Light Owl "sits" like a dream, especially with that Gargoyle footrest.

The high walls do block some of the views but you don't have to tension them until you are ready to turn in. Because if it's length and lay I could sleep on my stomach! Never could do that except in a bridge. Most of my UQs seemed to fit it well except for the Peapod. Because of the high wall I didn't think it would work well.

The foot box was nice in that it kept my feet frOm popping out as they tend to do with some of my other netless hammocks. The head box nicely kept the excess fabric off my face. I think this Is my new favorite netless!

Enjoy yours. I look forward to seeing you in it!

Thanks for the intel. I excited.

Thank goodness. Been a while for a new hammy for me.

Wilderness Logics makes good stuff.

Me too....but I like the name Snipe.

Hope you enjoy that snipe and all it has to offer. The folks at WL make some nice gear. Like a few other HF members, since WL is local I go by their shop and bug them every so often! Thats bad on the wallet......

You really now have given me idea.......

very cool man gotta love wilderness logics

**Callahan** · 12-09-2011, 23:05

Congrats! New gear is a beautiful thing. Man, have been eyeing up that Snipe, seems as though everyone who has a WL hammock really likes them. Would really like a lightweight single for daytripping, can't wait to hear how you like it.

Cheers

Got my Snipe in the mail yesterday. Gonna goof with it today....more than likely add a ridgeline to it. See how that goes.

I received my snipe yesterday. Couldn't pass up Marty's sale. I absolutely love it.
The single layer 1.5 feels wonderful. Just the right amount of stretch for my 185#

Tip: Since the snipe has shock cord on one side for your feet and opposite side for the head if one wants to lay head left or head right just flip the hammock over for your prefer lay. Great hammock, 0 calf pressure.

**Shug** · 12-18-2011, 23:42

I am loving this hammy)))))) Real flat lay....no calf pressure.
Can't wait to get it to the cols piney woods.

Does it come with Snipeline Suspension or the Nessie Sling?

If they did one in all black they could call it the Snape, or any longer it could be the "Severe US Snape".

I'm gonna run get my snipe gun (I keep it in the closet next to my mime gun).

**Hangandy** · 12-19-2011, 14:08

I had never heard of the Snipe before. Following the thread I thought it was a spoof (a la Snipe hunting). Let's pretend this never happened.

I still like calling the RL a 'Snipeline'.
