    Obsessed

    OK, so if I keep going back to the same website and gazing at the product, could it mean that's the one?

    I'm enamored by the Wilderness Logics Night Owl now. I've looked at a bunch of other hammocks, but I keep staring at the page over and over again.


    Think I'm getting drool on my keyboard...

    Sounds like love at first sight to me.

    Lots of folks LOVE The Night Owl - and there's a reason they don't come up often for sale on the forums here.

    If it were me buying my first one, this would be in my top 3 or 4. This, a RidgeRunner or Blackbird, or a Dream-Hammocks Darien UL (if you want an integrated bug net - if not, the Night Owl might be at the top of my list).

    Well, I have a Lite Owl and a Snipe. I think you'd be happy with any of them.

    Okay, so now go over and take a look at www.buttinasling.com, and complicate the decision process even further! LOL!

    That's a nice looong hammock. Bound to be comfortable.

    Are you sure that you won't need a bug net? It would probably be hard to get one to fit, unless it was a custom one.

    I'm thinking probably no. I'm a three-season camper (Fall, Winter, Spring) and rarely go out in the heat of the summer and height of bug season.

    The only place I've ever used a bug net is at Boy Scout summer camp. (for the week in July). I have a big net already, I'm sure I could jury-rig something.
