I can set you up with a ride no problem if need be. Heres a video of us out at Cape Split last spring.

It's pretty nice but not perfect.

I used it once already on an overnight in one of Keji's backounty sites two weeks ago.

I like the material, very nice, good construction. I got the double layer so in summer I can just stuff a wool blanket in there and not use an under quilt. Intergrated ridgeline thats nice. No included ridgeline ditty bag, I thought that was a bit cheap of WB. Hennessy throws those in no charge. The ONLY thing about that hammock that annoys me is that its a single tab zipper. Due to the construction and the ability to remove the netting completely it had to be single pull so when you climb in you zipp it open 3/4 then you have to reach waaayyy down to grap the zipper. I know not huge but annoying esp since a had a double pull on the Hennessy. I got mine with the webbing suspension to try it out. They didnt include biners !! A $200 hammock and they couldnt throw in biners, wow. The shelf system is nice I will say. Toss your phone, light, book, etc up there. I guess thats how they justify not including the ditty bag ??

I made a quick video of the trip. If you go in YouTube and search Scanman67 and Kejimkujik you will find it. You can see the setup a bit in the video. My tarp was jacked up, I forgot my regular ridgeline and had to rig it with paracord.

Overall yes I do like it. No regrets. I just think they cheaped out a bit on the extras esp when we are talking about a $200 hammock.
