    Switching my Rig

    Well I came over to the Dark Side. I already ordered a WBBB and Passed off My ENO Double Nest to my wife.

    It took me a while to decide on a Tarp. With so many options and cost being a factor I was torn with a DIY Winter Tarp or the Superfly and even some other options.

    I decided that with Warbonnet's Sale I had to take part of it yet again and order a tarp too. So Superfly it is!

    With all of the Loyal Warbonnet Hangers out there I just figured I would not go wrong.

    I'm all sorts of excited! Got a small trip coming up in Jan with a friend, I hope to have this rig all ready to go by then.

    I have the hammock and when I slide in it, that thing feel like sliding into butter. Soft, smooth, warm and comfortable.

    You will enjoy it. Be ready to share it with your wife.

    Cheers!

    And Hairbear you said it right there. Quality Level. Before I ordered the WBBB I Went through tons of posts here. I kept reading things about the Quality and Customer Service and the obvious pride invested in Brandon's Product. I think that was a large factor for me.

    About my Wife Stealing it... I'm a sucker for those batting brown puppy dog eyes. So yep it could happen.

    Somebody is either posting from a phone, or missed the punctuation portion of school.

    In fact, I have a Warbonnet rig that has probably already crossed the 3,000 mile mark, if not pushing up around 3,500 miles. The only 'ding' in it was my own stupid fault; a small hole right under my shoulders in the bed fabric. The great thing is, that hole was created after about 30 miles. That means I've put 3,000+ miles on a damaged hammock. Although patched, it is a pretty scary place to have a compromise in the fabric. Worried about it for a couple of months, but that was almost 5 years ago now.

    Quality is a step below the stuff Warbonnet puts out IMO.

    BTW OP; She will steal it. Accept that now and start saving for another one. Trust me. I've lost more than a couple of "my" hammocks that have now become "her" hammocks. It happens.
    Trust nobody!

    So this topic actually came up Sunday. I put my foot down...... and agreed to get her exactly what ever she wanted.
