I picked the HH explorer because is came with everything in one bag. the amount of research i did was silly! How long did it take you guys to pick your first and what were the main factors? I will have it in hand on Monday and will hang on saturday night. im planning on keeping the suspension stock at first and then trying rings or whoopies. I think the main reason for picking up a hammock was shug's youtube videos that guy is a nut.
