Pretty good deal on a hammock here...
BB XLC Massdrop
If you've never used Massdrop, it's a pretty cool idea. I've probably used it a half dozen times, and always been pleased.

What exactly is this? Basically a message board?

No, not at all, but that's about what I thought at first too though.

I'd call it an order aggregating deal. Massdrop essentially approaches manufacturers, asks about quantity discounts at given quantities that would ship to only one location, the Massdrop warehouse in NJ. Typically there are two quantity/price thresholds - and you can tell them you're only committing at the lower price (higher quantity). Once a purchase number commitment is reached, they'll keep the drop open a couple days in case others want to buy at that price point, then they all ship to NJ where they're broken out and shipped by the Massdrop folks to individual buyers.

Good deal, but I hope people don't look to the pictures on that site for setup instructions. Very interesting how they have it hung.

I liked the idea of the XLC, but no top cover.

I have the original WBBB. Very comfy.
