In fact, you and I and I think Ewker were all in WBBBs at one of Neo's Fall hangs a year or two back! I was plenty comfy. Still, there are other good hammocks out there.
    The Expedition was rated at 250 punds, which worked for me. Also, it and the ULBP were the only models regularly available from REI and most commercial outfitters in 2005. The ULBP certainly wasn't sturdy enough. I got the Expedition free when I was setting up for a scratch n dent sale at the Brentwood REI where I worked at the time. Nearly any hammock is more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.

    Perhaps West Side Story could be remade for hangers?

    Both are excellent products and I hope to have one of every make and model.
    Ginger / Mary Ann.... Ohhhh, I loved them both! And I have a HH BPUL and WBBB 1.7 Dbl. Both very good products.
    And, I would sleep with any of the 4!

    Nice (long) thread. What I want to know is which of these condendurz is better in hot muggy heat. Which has better air flow-through? Hmmm?

    Try as many hammocks as possible. Go to a hang and check out the various models -obviously we like to talk about our rigs and show them off. I was lucky enough to try the HH backpacker for 3 nights and then try the HH exp for 3 nights. I purchased the WBBB sight unseen knowing it would be an easy resale if it didn't cut it. It turned out to be the best one for me. I do like the fact at War Bonnet I was able to talk to the owner/manufacturer of the product I was purchasing. He did a nice custom mod for me and I look forward to many restful nights. See you on the trail!

    Can the Hennessy team be the Sharks? Sharks are awesome.

    The OP should buy one of each and give me the one he doesn't like.

    I'm having trouble buying one right now.

    I have officially tested a Warbonnet 1.1 and It was awesome .
