I need some help with this little project. I'm mulling over getting a new hammock setup. I've been looking strongly at two hammock models of the same brand: Warbonnet Traveler and Blackbird.

Traveler:
Hammock: $60 weighs 12.5oz
Sock: $85 weighs 9.3oz
Net: $65 weighs 7.5oz
Total:$210 29.3oz

Blackbird:
Hammock: $160 weighs 18.5oz
Sock: $85 weighs 9.3oz
Total: $245 27.8oz

It breaks down to about 1.5oz lighter for purchasing the Blackbird and $35 more than buying the Traveler. Blackbird is actually cheaper per ounce base on this.

Now, what about the qualitative benefit(s)? I probably get more responses from the Hammockforums.net

P.S. I'm still legally sane, I think? grin
