Thanks Shug, kind of feel dumb asking but had to make sure.

I know you throw half hitches to tighten the suspension, but where? Is it on a bite and becomes your new attachment point? Pretty sure that's what I need to do on my incubator just not sure how to...

Welcome from norfolk!

Anyone have a chameleon top cover they'd be willing to part with? Looking for dark olive or color to match!

I bought the patch kit from Brandon and have patched all the rips I've found. My main concern was leakage and the possibilty of the pinholes turning into a tear in high winds. However, the eyesore it...

I would have but was expecting rain and we were having alot of wind that night in coastal virginia. Whoooo Buddy!

I have made 3 patches so far, dabbed 6 or 7 pinholes, but keep finding more!!!!

I've been out in a rainstorm so heavy it would have kept me up in bed at home. Superfly kept me dry as could be.

So I was dialing in my underquilt in the back yard a while back. Slept like a baby, but when I woke up I found a few tears and pinholes in the tarp.... I already knew some ferral cats got to my tarp...

I've watched your vids over and over, thank you sir. Btw really dug the black county ball and chain intro to your last
Superior trip video, it was the last song I listened to before watching the...

I hung my jarbidge for the first time in cold weather last night and could not dial it in. I was able to get it right at my shoulders, it still seemed to want to slide off my left shoulder sleeping...

So I had my last trip a month ago, somehow forgot to take my jarbidge out of my pack compartment(not it sack, just stuffed in pack). Has anyone had issue with preformance loss because of this?

I havnt weighed my superfly but it has to be under 23. I had cowboy make me a 12x12 in sil poly for tandem hangs with my gf. It comes to 23 oz. with stuff sack. 35 with pole mods. It's a little...

Lots of people close! Any of y'all do any group trips? Norfolk is pretty dry when it comes to backpacking.

Well that's awesome I've got someone close!

I really like the chameleon, especially dual chameleons in tandem.

Chameleon for me. The fully symmetrical bug net let's you enter in whatever side you want. You can remove the net, and the add ons are amazing. It fits my cry once mentality.

It depends on what you like. I started with a hennessy exped asym, set it up in my yard. Laying in it I knew I couldn't go to the ground ever again. I did a bunch of research, and decided I wanted to...

I'd have to agree with the idea you have better heat transfer with less layers getting in the hammock. I get in with as little layers as possible and add as I need. I've woke up sweaty and needed to...

I havnt seen much good. Read the down smells, and reports of unequal fills. Price point dosnt really compete well with HGs Econ or Arrowhead. Both of which are great balues.

I'd have to go with the Costco down, or a cheap fleece throw. I'm a warm sleeper and in 50+ that's all I need with a 3 season underquilt. More economical as well.

I'd go with 10! You can loosen the UQ but can't make it warmer. My two sets are a 10 degree econ, and a jarbidge. Between the 2 I have all the protection I'll need. Just need to dial in my tq setups.

After I tried the jarbidge last week I'm never going back to a pad, I have a $8 fleece throw for summer, and a 0 degree bag for winter. However, I see myself getting a winter tq for weight.... the...

I will spend the money for 100% usa made. It can be done, I understand the position of cottage vendors. However the jarbidge is one of the most affordable underquilts on the market. I don't know all...

If you do this next year I will plan a vacation around it, I play music and booked up this weekend in March.

I use the stuff sack that came with my superfly, and put them in my side pocket of my pack. No problems yet

How do the groundhog minis work? I've been wondering.

I'm going to have to make one of these, summer is my gigging season, and I'm all booked up that weekend!

Just got into hammock camping this year. Tried a hennessy in my yard, comfortable but lacking. Moved to blackbird/superfly combo. Never going back. This site is awesome and contains a wealth of info!

As do I but I installed the peak loft today and it had me thinking. Thank yall

I have a pair of leki legacys, that in good weather I max out and they are fine. Just like other people have said it's a matter of weather and location. Last weekend my corner fell over a rock. Well,...

This is a sweet one

Wow great insights, I'll have to try it!!!! And by to much fabric I mean my head has excess around it, unlike it did in the regular blackbird. Thank yall.

Awesome, it made me leary, glad to see the feelings may be unfounded.

So I'm taking my gf for her first hang so I want to car camp. Wondering if anyone knows of some good fire roads around Charlottesville or Lynchburg. They'd have to be in relatively good shape. No 4x4

Abrasion from zippers, clips, etc.

I've only noticed any sag after rain, so like the above comment it must be material.

I'm wondering if anyone has ripped the mesh, or seen signs of wear, storing chameleon with peak loft and bug net installed? It seems like it may to me, and am curiois.

I use that snake skins with no problem! When going into my pack I just stuff the line in, throw in the tarp, then throw the other side in. It has always cone out the way it went in for me.

The load on the line was increased significantly by porch mode, having it in storm mode would have allowed for better dispersion of the wind. However there looks to have been a problem with the fly...

You can't go wrong with the superfly, period...

I keep my dutch flyz as close to the tarp as possible, that way I always have a nice V and if I need to re adjust the position of the flyz, no big deal.

I'm 5'11, which on site they recommend getting it in leau of the blackbird.

Wanted to post about going up to short off in the lynville gorge. There are some spots that are amazing. My profile pic is of the particular hang. Right by the cliff beautiful view across the gorge...

So I had a blackbird dl, had a rip and I sent it off to get it repaired. I decided to get credit for a new xlc instead(because they are awesome). Well I received it this week and it is not as...

Everyone has seemed to work their way around a common problem. I had cowboy kindly message me, I'll be getting a bat tangle. It looks huge with ample clearance for good protection. I'll happily trade...

These are some awesome set ups. I'm liking all of these. The cat tangle is awesome, sqids diy is awesome. But his is 12' foot and the SF is 11'. Has anybody ever had Brandon make custom dimensions?

I've been racking my brain trying to find a tarp to provide adequate storm coverage for the 32" spreader. Since there is no commercially available tarps, and I can't sew, i feel I'll have to get one...
