Hi all, new guy from MN here, just looking to improve my hang.
Just came back from a multiple day trip to *almost* the Boundary Waters (had to change plans and went to a campground in the Supeior National Forest), and have decided that I can make a hammock work for me. I was unsure before when I had a cheap Walmart hammock which was too short for me.
For this latest trip, I had a pinnacle ridge 180 hammock with separate bug net, and while still relatively inexpensive, this offered a much better experience for me.
So, now I'm looking to up the game a bit with a true camping hammock.
I think I have it narrowed down to 2, though in either case there are some questions.
The 2 hammocks in question are the Dream Hammock Sparrow 12 foot hammock and the Warbonnet Blackbird XLC.
I'm 6 foot 6 and 290, so I'm leaning towards the Sparrow right now, double layer 2.2 oz Hex70. I would go double layer heavyweight on the warbonnet as well.
One of the issues I had with the cheap hammock is it was way too short, and squeezed my shoulders, so I question the shorter warbonnet, but the foot box touted by warbonnet may make this moot.
Then, regardless of the hammock itself, I'm pretty sure I want to go with whoopee slings for suspension.
Is the overcover worth it for late/early season camping? I am also eyeballing the hammock hot tent (either OneTigris or Pomoly, though I think I'm leaning Pomoly), which may do away with any need for the overcover.
Any insights are appreciated.
