AmarilloJim	06/20/2018 07:33AM   Just finished a 10 day trip hanging and I have to say I think I'm a convert. Very comfortable sleeping. Storage inside the hammock was adequate with my BBXL. I think the superfly tarp sealed the deal for me. I wish it would have rained more to test my silicone job on the tarp but I'm pretty confident in it.

She has hanged on several mission trips in the past. If we go with other people she will hang. If we go ourselves we will probably tent it.

I introduced my wife to hanging and now we hang tandem under a single tarp. A superfly would work well for that. Just saying it is an option ;)
