Started out with a simple gathered end hammock with a ridgeline and a wrap around style bug net. I now have a Warbonnet Blackbird Double Layer XLC with a factory bug net. Girlfriend made me a under quilt protector that hangs from the gathered ends.

I started out with an ENO Doublesnest. I now use a Towns-End Bridge, a Dream Hammock Sparrow, and just picked up a new Warbonnet ElDorado. I’ve learned that for me, an 11’ is the way to go in a GE, and I love the width on JustBill’s bridges!

First hammock was a Hennessy Expedition Asym Zip - not very comfortable but I didn't know any better. After a couple of years I moved to simple gathered-end hammocks like the Dutch Netless, with a Fronkey bugnet. No zippers! I really dislike zippers since they don't allow quick entry/exit.

I have a Dutch Chameleon now - zippers galore, but it keeps my beagle Joey inside the hammock. Otherwise I think he'd take off.

How long you stucked with simple Gathered-End Hammock?
You are right Zippers are quite annoying to me as will I love to get in quick when I'm tried and sometime to exit when annoyed

My first was a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. My hammock that I'm currently using is my Warbonnet Ridgerunner. I've have and have tried many others but I always come back to my Ridgerunner.

My first hammock was an ENO Singlenest (which I still have and like). Now I've got a Chameleon in 1.6 hexon with—of course—the peak loft and bug net. I love it. My next purchase will likely be a lighter-weight Chameleon.

Got an Eno to lounge around in. I still use it on my porch.

I still don't know what my perfect setup is, but I value light/well made/versatile so now I'm in a Dutchware netless with a Fronkey style bugnet and an underquilt.

The journey never really ends

Started with a 2 man tent, then 6 person tent, 8 person tent, sometimes with camp pad/thermarest, sometimes a cot. One day discovered ENO double nest at REI a few years back. Discovered this forum by accident, and fell into the deep end. Later traded in eno dblnest for a kammok roo, and returned the Roo after I bought my first "real" camping hammock, the DH Sparrow in double layer 2.2 ripstop. Love this hammock but needed something under 20 oz, so I ordered a DH Darien in SL 1.7 robic. Still waiting for that one to come in the mail. +1 on paintball's post above that the journey never really ends.

Seems like you spent more times in Tents and in hammocks as well so basically which one would be your firest preference Hammock or Tent?
