So now that I have more than one Warbonnet Hammock to backpack with (BB and BBXLC both in double 1.1) the question is, which one is lighter? To be specific I would probably backpack with the BBXLC without bugnet/top cover installed. So in one scenario I would have a nice flat lay, and in the other I would have bug-netting and a shelf? This would be backpacking in the high alpine, so bugs are not much of an issue (usually). There is some allure to not pitching a tarp and not having a bugnet on some of the nicer nights. I like to keep my summer backpacking load as light as possible. I find this maximizes enjoyment on the trail when we are hiking a full day. Either way I will probably be buying a woopie slings setup for the hammock suspension that I only use while backpacking. Which setup would you choose, how would you do things differently, and which would be lighter (BBXLC no top cover or BB)?
