    WBBB XLC vs. Dream Hammock Dangerbird

    I'm caught in the middle between the two of these, as I'm considering a new hammock with an integrated bug net.

    If you've got one (or both) of these, I'd love to hear some opinions on one vs. the other.

    I don't have a dangerbird but do have the roaming gnome. Switched from the standard blackbird but for some reason i cannot get rid of the calf ridge in the roaming gnome. It hasn't really bothered me all to much and its a great hammock. Anyways im sure im doing something wrong but i do like the it alot. cant speak on XLC.

    Hey Gresh, I have a Dangerbird you can try if you like. Mattyoc20 has it, just PM him and have him ship it to you. It's 11ft x 72" wide, double layer 2.1 outside and 1.7 inside I believe. JG

    I think I've got one to try coming to me from a friend - if it falls through, I definitely will. Thank you for the offer.

    Have had my heart set on the xlc and saw this post and now thinking what the pros and cons of each are as well

    I have been test sleeping in a DIY Tablecloth Crinkled Taffeta 90x156 with Cat/cuts, WBBB XLC 1.7 DL, Clark NX-250 and have tried all 3 of them about 5-6 nights. All of them have their merits however I feel I sleep better in my XLC... Im 6', 285lbs...

    New to hammock camping myself , but I got the Dream Thunderbird . Good hammock from what I can tell . I like the zippers on both sides and the choice of colors and fabric. This is what sold me. I was looking at the xlc . I am sure it is a great hammock and the dangerbird should be to.

    I've never tried a WBBB, but my Roaming Gnome is the bee's knees. PaPa Smurf and Co. are very accommodating and easy to work with. Just buy one of each and sell the one you aren't as comfortable in on the forum. Doubt you could go wrong either way.

    The way to go wrong: Buy both.

    My wife would shoot me in the face at point blank range with a glare that would peel paint!
