I have been backpacking and hanging since August of 2015. I started with just the Grand Truck Skeeter Beater. Then I purchased a ENO JungleNest. Now of course I am looking to move to the next one. I am female, 5'3" on a good day, and about 125lbs. Things I am looking for are an integrated bug net (completely removeable is ideal), structural Ridgeline, light of course, and not too bulky. I was looking at the Blackbird and the Blackbird XLC. I really like that the Blackbird is 10 feet but the non removeable bug net is a sticking point. The XLC bugnet is removeable but it is longer. I have been looking and looking for Hangs near me (I am in Atlanta) but haven't had any luck. I would love to try them both before spending more money (last hammock purchase I kept telling myself). Also does anyone know of any groups are places to talk with other female hangers? If there are any female hangers in or near Atlanta, I would love to talk and see how you deal with certain issues. If there is a better place to post this or if I need to split it up please let me know.
