**Shug** · 12-08-2011, 10:22

OK.....I got weak this morning after sleeping out last night in my DIY GreenBean hammock....came in....got coffeed up....looked at the WL Snipe single layer hammock with those side drawstrings....free shipping....NC made right in USA......nice long length. Have not ordered a new hammock in a while. Boom..........got the Snipe on the way.
I am a wee bit excited to give it a go.........

Those drawstring deelys are pretty cool! Can't wait to see the vid!

I nearly ordered one to day, but decided not to because of the “deep lay” in the hammock. It looks as if you get your view restricted by the fabric on the sides. Hope you will do a video review of it when you get it Shug.
Best,
Blaze

Yeah....hope to love it. With tall sides...I just kinda hang an arm over and draw it down. My DIY GreenBean hammock always has one high side.
Video....I think I may!
All secure in sector seven,

Looks like a good choice. I don't even buy hammocks, and I was tempted by that one. Wonder if you can replace 2' of the side draw cord with bungee to make sitting in the hammock more comfortable? Or is the tension adjustable? Looking forward to your review.

If'n it's like the Lite Owl it's adjustable.

I'm going to have to research this some...I've not seen the draw string thing.

Congrats Shug, I know you are anxious to get it. As others stated above, can't wait for the vid.

Seen it on these and Knotty did it on one of his DIY hammocks.

Nope - no adverse reports of this hammock, just experience with high-sided hammocks being hard to sit in because the fabric edge is pretty tight under your knees. I think you're going to like it.
