Which bird is your favorite?

[ibgary]

I started saving money for the Lite Owl, but I hear so many great things about the Blackbirds, & now I'm thinking of ordering a Dangerbird .???
If u have or had one can you tell me the pros and cons? Thanks

I've had a WBBB for about two years. Wore it out. The biggest problem with the WBBB is that you can only get into it from one side. That side will eventually stretch out, leaving you with an uncomfortable hammock. The other choices you list have a zipper, I think, on both sides. If one side streches out a bit, use the other side until they are even.

I hadn't ever heard of that happening before. although it makes sense. Out of curiosity, how many nights did you sleep in it?

I was thinking and wondering the same thing. Never heard if it stretching from wear to that point.

I have a BB,,,,love it. I have a Lite Owl,,,,love it. The Lite Owl is a little flatter for me, especially at the head end,,,which i like.

I'm going to guess about 150 nights? I used it about two and half to three years of hiking about 1,500 - 2,000 miles. I used it as a chair as well as a place to sleep. I weight about 190 to 200 lbs (although I think I was about 10 to 20 lbs less when I had it) and am about 5' 6".

Don't get me wrong - the WBBB is a good hammock, the shelf was especially nice to have. But, in my experience, hammocks in which you can only get in from one side tend to go bad sooner than hammocks which allow access from both sides. If I hadn't used it as a chair as much as I do, then maybe it would have lasted longer. I've also had the same problem with Mosquito hammocks.

I was waiting for that I don't see how that could happen either. Unless a 300 pounder slept every night in a 1.1 single
