    Oh yeah, checking the site every hour to see if I made the production list for the week, AND I DID.

    Mine are very boring compared to you. Both coyote brown Robic 10 footers, a dangerbird with extra zips, and freebird. Both with the open top pouch, and just continuous loops. These are for backpacking, so pretty no frills, but coming from a WBBB XLC, I atleast needed the pouch to compensate for my shelf loss. Lol

    I also have an 11ft freebird, 1.6 hyperD, which was pretty pimped out by another HF member, and I love it. It may become my new bed soon.

    You went with the Robic eh? I'm jealous of your moxy. I didn't have the stones to go that light. I'm pretty careful with my equipment but I constantly fear the random idiot move that destroys something.
    I did throw a few bells and whistles on this one and the plan is to bring it backpacking but I'm pretty excited because even with a few extras it's going to come in weighing about a metric ton less than my HH Explorer Deluxe. lol

    You'll have to throw up some pics when yours arrive!

    I hear ya!! My upcoming back surgery has turned me into a gram weenie. My knees and hips have been complaining forever, but my back was the straw that broke the camels back... huh... that saying doesn't work well there. Yes, I am full of idiot moves, I can certainly relate. We will see. I haven't read of any durability issues with the Robic.

    I have my 11 ft hyperD freebird and a fronkey net just in case. Even with the ridgeline organizer, side pocket, bottle holder, and end gear shelf, combined with the fronkey, its still a 4oz lighter than the XLC I just sold.

    I will certainly get pics up as soon as I can. But the bright blue stuffsack will probably be the most exciting part. Lol.

    The Dreams are on the way. Here is the Dangerbird it all its brown awesomeness. So excited, it came in under a pound, even with the extra zippers and storage.

    And it's little brother, under half a pound. Will probably team this up with a Dutch sock.

    Thanks!! They saw quite a bit of action this weekend and I am thoroughly impressed. The Robic is sooo thin, but held up well to quite a bit of tossing, turning, switching of ends, and general shenanigans. It was also much comfier than expected. I might actually let the Dangerbird go, it all depends how my diy weighted pocket net works on the Freebird. I have a Dutch fronkey on my 11ft freebird, and there a few things I don't like, but really kind of like the detached net premise. If I can come up with a solution for the 10ft FB, the Dangerbird may be set loose. The DB is awesome though. Slept out in it last night. Best sleep I have had in a hammock to date. Oh, decisions, decisions.

    The ROBIC really as thin as it seems? Were you almost a little afraid to hop in it the first time? I think I would be haha. I got crazy yesterday and added the ROBIC overcover rather than the 1.6. I figured every little bit counts if I've got the DangerBird and the cover/bug net are permanently attached.

    I'm glad to hear their exceeding your expectations in terms of comfort too!

    Yeah, the Robic is incredibly thin. You nailed it, I was extremely careful getting in the first couple of times, even after reading tons of reviews about how strong the Robic is. Now after a few nights I have great confidence in the material.
