    I have two, what's my next Hammock purchase?

    Well I fell in love with the comfort of the ENO doublenest and I love the WBBB DL 1.7 for its craftsmanship and sheer beauty. Both are very different for me in terms of usage. I take my ENO with me for lounging and hanging out in the park. I also added Whoopie Slings and a Dutch Buckles to my ENO and man it’s awesome. My WBBB has been my going away hammock. I've had three trips so far and the WBBB grows on me every time. I've had several great nights sleeping in my WBBB. Having said that, I believe there is a learning curve with the WBBB, and it gets better every time. I have complete trust in my WBBB and it’s truly a work of art for me.

    I will be purchasing another Hammock and I am curious what will be my next purchase. I am buying another one because my family is feeding on my addiction to my new passion. So I am short a least two more Hammocks. But for now, am looking for something light weight with whoopie slings and very comfortable to play with, also maybe something a little different to experience. I like the WL lite owl, Snipe, Warbonnet traveler, and BIAS Weight weenier so far. I am 200 pounds and 5’11. So any recommendations I will strongly consider. Thank you.

    I'm considering the lite owl for post bug season outings. One of my hanger pals has one, I like that it's big enough to really get diagonal in and stretch out

    I had more luck with the WL Owls than the Travelers. If you already own a WB, why not go for a WL hammock? They are **** comfortable and super easy to hang. Maybe also consider a Danger Bird; this hammock is on my wish list. Users say that it is as comfortable as a WL hammock, and you can remove the bug net.

    All great suggestions here. If light is what you want a WB Travler is the ticket. Everyone should have one of these. If you don't mind a little heavier, get the WL Snipe for sure. My current favorite and most comfortable. good luck in choosing.

    I have the same hammocks as you, I think my next hammock will be a Danger Bird from papa smurf.
