    Looks AWESOME! And sounds like it will be a great price. I'm a big fan of hammocks, tarps and tents. If my wife would let me I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Very lite and simple. It's perfect.

    Advice with blackbird xlc

    Personally, I've found it to be correct. I usually shoot for 13 to 15 feet max with my WBBB XLC so I can hang my hammock suspension high enough on the tree to get the 30 degree angle to the hammock.
