Hei there,
I am new to the forums but already hooked! Great stuff you find here.
I've read around a lot to find a suitable hammock to sleep in on a 6 week Laos/Thailand climbing trip. I know we will find cheap accomodation there as well, but the majority of nights shall be spent in a hammock. We will travel in Febuary/March and nights should not get colder than 15°C, so no underquilt or anything like that needed.
I have narrowed my decision down to these two options:
a) buy DD Frontline 2012
B) DYI WBBB clone
Now there is one question I have in particular: In a bed I usually sleep on my stomach or on my side, therefore I think I will prefer a rather flat position in the hammock. The WBBB does allow a diagonal lay, which makes for a flatter position, I have read. Is this also the case with the DD?
A lot of people only talk about the built quality when discussing the DD, but for me the most important thing is whether it is comfortable to sleep in or not. Can you advise me here?
I am on a limited budget as well as on time, so I would prefer the easiest solution and just buy the DD. If however the WBBB clone will allow me to sleep much more comfortable I will get my crafty skills going and make one with this tutorial https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...ad.php?t=38451 (This is great!!)
What do you think?
Also: For people who have been to Laos and Thailand at this time of the year: Is the mosquito net essential when sleeping outdoors? If not I can buy a much simpler hammock, I guess
Thank you for your help!
