    WTB hammock for the wife

    My wife tried my hammock this weekend and fell in love with it. I now have to get one for her so I can get mine back. She is pretty short, about 5'2". I know she will not use it too much so I dont want to spend a ton. Not real picky. ENO DN, GT, DIY, etc. Let me know what yall have. We are going on a hang in two weeks. Thanks!

    I have a gathered end 10' camo I could let go for 30 shipped. No bug net or suspension.

    I have a custom single layer 1.9 from member HK2001. Integrated bug net, structural ridge line and quilt hooks seen in. Really quality build. I just have one more hammock than my clan needs. $100 to your door.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    The ENO DN is pretty good, though I prefer the Snipe. Talk to OWL and see when one could arrive.

    Alternatively, my wife (5'3") just loves the RidgeRunner, though it's in the $150 range. Very comfy for her.

    I would do a table cloth hammock.
    it is inexpensive and plenty of room.
    Let her be comfy as can be to start off.

    My girlfriend just got her first hammock, tablecloth style, she loves it. however, before that was decided she got in and out of all my hammocks with bugnets on. that changed what she was okay with. she loves the tablecloth, but not "crawling through a net to lay down" I can only imagine her camping and trying to get back into a sock style bug net in the middle of the night. integrated bugnets she didn't have a problem with (thunderbird and switchback) and we still will try a bottom entry hennessy that Whiskeyjack has.
    if she wants to camp, have her try bug nets as well

    Just received my wife's WBBB yesterday. It is a special pink version that Warbonnet did for breast cancer awareness. She loves it. She is 4' 11" and is just swimming in that hammock. We are going to work on making a double tarp setup for use at Scout camp.

    Hammecks.com offers a 10 ft hammock with suspension for $40.
    All those hours exploring the great outdoors made me more resilient and confident
