Like how I found out about the ula Ohm ($210:30oz)just after I bought my osprey Atmos ($270:4.5lbs). Or after spending close to 400 on a UL sleeping bag and then finding out about quilts and the enlightened equipment revelation. I usually try and do a lot of research on gear before I buy, but this thread is proof that just asking around the community seems to be the best way.
Also I blame too much online research and not enough discussion for getting me into hammock camping. No regrets there though.
However that was quite the sales pitch on the Notch. For not too much more money, I can get a much wider range of use. Looks like it's good for bunkering down in storms too. And being able to pitch just the fly sound great. What about just the netting?
I do eventually plan on the ZPacks Duplex, just for its possibility for sleeping 2 people (or me and a 5 yr old niece or dog) while maintaining such a low weight.
