    Hello from Birmingham, AL

    How's goes it? I'm Wes from Birmingham, AL. I'm an avid backpacker. I've not yet bought my first hammock yet, but I'm eagerly researching and saving for the purchase. Looking forward to learning some new tricks around here.

    If anyone has any advice on deciding between a Dream Dangerbird and a Clark NX-150 (the two I've narrowed my search to) - please chime in!

    Thanks!

    Welcome Wes, from Gadsden. I'm from B'ham originally. What part of town?

    As far as hammock choices, you can't go wrong with either of those. I have a WBBB, but for backpacking I use my DIY 1.1 gathered end. It's much lighter and more versatile. My hammock and DIY silnylon tarp is several ozs. under 2 lbs.

    Welcome and greeting from a bit further south, Mobile, AL. Not too familiar with those two hammocks, I've seen pics (both look pretty sweet), never hopped in one. I'm sporting a WBBB.

    Thanks!

    The WB models seem to be extremely popular on this forum!

    welcome from Texas. Lots to learn here, check out the vendor area or search on your hammocks to see what others are asking/saying. Not everyone reads the "introduce yourself" forum so if you post your questions in the right area you'll have a deeper discussion.
    Thanks,
