Longtime Packboater, Newish to Hammocks

[Sinite]

Hey there! I finally caved in and joined the forum after watching all of Shug's videos and hanging in various hammocks for a little over a year. I do not have much time to be on forums, but I know this is a good one so...

I did camp in a Vietnam era jungle hammock many years ago, but did not find it very comfortable and it was quite heavy. I still have not found a hammock that I am totally satisfied with.

I generally hang in my Hennessy Exped zip during bug season and my Outdoor Vitals ultralight doublewide once the bugs have mellowed. I do have OV's bug net, but the drawstring is difficult to get a tight close on and tends to slip open during the night. Anyway, I added a DutchWare UCR adjustable ridgeline to this hammock and managed to dial in the sag. I had the best 9.5 hours of sleep!

I would like to try a DutchWare Chameleon, and a Dream Hammock, Sparrow someday....

Here's a sample of what I'm up to, with a nod to Shug. Thanks for the inspiration Shug!

You should give a Warbonnet Ridgerunner a try as this is a game changer for many of us. Welcome to the forums.

Yeah, WB Ridgerunner was at the top of my radar, but I am learning more towards the Chameleon for its versatility. I like being able to switch my lay to the other side in a symmetrical hammock. I am not counting the WBRR out though. If I found one for the right price I would go for it.
Anyway, thanks for the greeting TrailSlug! And by the way, keep off my flip flops when I'm hanging in my hammock dernit!-)
