    Lynx with a Blackbird XLC?

    I'm wondering if my full length winter Lynx UQ will work with a blackbird xlc?
    I've got a 1.7 DL Ridgerunner and have also ordered a WBBB XLC (also dual layer) for longer hikes since it will be less weight. Just trying to figure out if I can use the UQ for both or if I should plan on picking up another UQ to pair with the WBBB. Since I don't have the BB yet I haven't been able to see if there may be any options for mods to make it work. Hoping the way more experienced hangers will be able to help out a poor noob. Thanks and I just want to say this is a great forum!!!

    Not sure the Lynx has cinches on the ends (side to side) so could cause some gaps with the XLC.
    Just my 3¢....

    I think you will find the Lynx is too narrow for use with a gathered end hammock.

    Thanks Shug! Love your vids. I was thinking the same thing. I'm just trying to figure out if I might be able to add on some channels for some shock cord to tighten up those gaps.

    Thanks I'll bet your right but I'll see if my DIY can come up with a way to make it work before I get another quilt.

    IMO: sell the Lynx and get a rectangular UQ that will fit both hammocks.
