My now 16 Y.O. Son has been river/hammock camping with me for 10 years now.
We have used hennesy hammocks with good luck, but in the last 2 years he has had problems sleeping through the night (HH Explorer) . He is a side sleeper and said he cannot side sleep in his hammock (Explorer), He was snoring and hacking all night sleeping on his back, something that never happens at home.
He was threatening to go to the ground in a tent, problem is ¾ of the areas we camp on the river is large gravel/rocks. A lot of the Mountain Rivers we run the public land is sporadic, what is public- finding a decent camping site is challenging. The very few tent-able sites are typ taken,, but there are many tree laced gravel washes, these are considered part of the river and public property, but impossible to set a tent on.
So I got him a WBBB XLC for his birthday this spring.
This was our 1st trip with it, due to the spring rains and flooding.
He slept through he night without a sound, when I finally got up he was still sound asleep on his side.
