Really good feedback. It sounds like I should be able to still tweak this a bit to get closer to the rating, which is encouraging. It'll be 25° tonight so we'll see!

I have a 40° Warbonnet Wooki and 20° Diamondback that I use with my Blackbird. I sleep hot and have taken that setup down to 40° and been totally comfortable. I decided this fall I really wanted to...
Agree with Twistytee. I'm 5'7" and my Blackbird is 62" and that's **** near perfect. I have a Dutchware 11' netless that's 58" and Myerstech that's 54" wide and they're great too. I can lie flat it...
I have a regular Blackbird and not the XLC, so bug net is fixed on the right side.
I was mostly feet head right/feet left for 7 years until I got a Blackbird this year which defaults to the opposite, and entering from the left.
I adjusted to that but my right zip sleeping bag...
My 15' dyneema straps weigh less than my kevlar huggers and whoopies, but not enough to even think about. I mostly go straps and becket hitch because they pack up smaller, but sometimes I'm in a...
Exactly this. Both ends of my main ridgeline are adjustable with plastic toggles, but I still sometimes end up with widely varying tree dimensions and it's just easier to get the ridgeline up and...
I kept my CRL attached to the tarp inside the snake skins for a while but now I prefer keeping it separate. It's just faster and easier to string it up when it's unweighted and clip my tarp onto the...
Agreed on all points, though for an 8" CL to make much of an impact with a strap and buckle suspension, that would have to be a *really* short hang. That's more of a concern with whoopies that have...
An alternative to cutting off those sewn loops is getting the Dutchware Ti cinch buckle suspension as you planned and just attaching the continuous loop to your sewn loop with a lark's head. Then...
You can use the WB poly straps. Lots of people prefer them to others.
I'm 5'7", 165lbs, so I don't have much of a weight need for the double layer. Plus I do have my dog in the hammock with me sometimes and the inner layer of the lightweight DL is pretty vulnerable to...
I bought a double layer Blackbird a few months ago, now looking to upgrade my tarp situation from my old, heavy PU polyester diamond tarp. With the fall soon approaching, I'm in the market mostly for...
