I think technically you have to reply with the phrase "I'll take it" (forum rules).
I'm selling an original version Warbonnet Blackbird XLC hammock (11'x62"), made from brown double layer 1.1 fabric. It has continuous loops, ready to be attached to your suspension of choice....
If you're going for as lightweight as possible I'd recommend looking at some of the cottage vendors' quilts because 28oz is actually rather heavy for a 20° quilt. For example, I think both Hammock...
My guess is the Costco quit plus another 50° quit might get you down into the mid 30s. Get the 20° if you want to hang in the 20s.

Any standard under quilt will work just fine with the blackbird. I use a Loco Libre quilt with mine, but there's nothing unique about the hammock that would require you to use a special quilt like...
Yes I hope everything is okay. This doesn't sound good.

How exactly do you plan to use the UQ to supplement the TQ? The whole point of a wide TQ when ground sleeping is to make sure it covers your sides down to the ground/pad. It's not obvious to me how...
I'll take it.
Does it come with suspension? What kind?

Beyond your quilt selection there are a lot of variables that go into how warm you'll be such as wind, humidity, and what clothes you wear. Even for a very warm sleeper, I would be skeptical that...

I enjoy the natural beauty, the solitude, and I like the self-reliance aspect. It's 100% authentic. Nature reconnects us with who we really are and allows us to escape the fake facades of our...
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what's the typical low temperature and how warm of quilts does one usually need for this? I have a set of 20° quilts, I assume that's probably not going to be...
I've noticed there's a significant price increase when comparing a LL UQ with a TQ with similar specs and temperature ratings. I would think that the amount of materials (fabric, down, etc.) in both...
Yeah, I had to start carrying a set of amsteel dog bones to extend my straps for the big trees. They've saved me more than once.

This would be fun. Haven't done any winter camping in a hammock yet. How big is the usual turnout? What's the weather been like in past years?
Hasn't happened to me yet. If I know for sure there won't be trees where I'm camping, then I take a tent instead--but that's rare. In the Pacific Northwest, more often the bigger problem is finding...
I guess that's because you make such a high quality product! I might just have to suck it up and pony up the cash then...

I was fully aware of the delay when I purchased my quilt so it didn't bother me--the savings was well worth it to me. Seems like if you don't want to wait several months or don't like the...
Yeah, I bought an underquilt from them a while back on a Black Friday sale and would really like to pick up a matching top quilt.

I'm hoping he'll reconsider/make an exception for Black Friday.

Often the "lounging" hammocks are smaller than those intended for sleeping on and therefore don't always allow for a diagonal lay necessary to be able to lay relatively flat. You may find it more...
I'm planning my first trip there in about a month and have been wondering how suitable the area is for hammock camping. Did you have any trouble finding good places to hang? Where did you camp at?
I agree it feels like laying in a plain hammock, but I haven't ever been bothered or even noticed any "squeezing" by the suspension when laying in it.

Like the others have said, it might require multiple rolls. Although I've since switched to an UQ, when I first started hammocking I was able to roll my pad up while pressing it into the hammock. You...
I also own that book and agree it's a great resource, although there's plenty of free information available online too if you don't want to buy a book.

Yes, I second this. Don't expect 40 degrees in a humid, rainy evening to feel like 40 degrees on a dry evening.
Also, I've camped in some decent rain and never felt the need for a UQP. Just make...

Haha! You wish the stuff sack was larger? I recently received my 20* LL under quilt and my only complaint was I wish the stuff sack was smaller! The sack it came with doesn't fully compress the down...
I chose a double layer. I like the flexibility of being able to throw in a pad for extra warmth if necessary, hopefully slightly warmer and stronger, and the weight penalty seemed minimal.

Interesting. In such conditions it would seem to me that the best solution would be to just use a larger tarp to ensure adequate protection. Then your entire hammock is protected instead of just the...
Forgive my ignorance, but assuming you're using a tarp, why would a UQP ever be necessary?

Can someone please explain what a differential cut is? And what is a dart? I'm a quilt newbie so please excuse my ignorance.

Oh, I guess I was confused because you said you're only offering 800 and 900 FP going forward.
