    Newbie trying out the Blackbird XLC

    Hi all. Former ground dweller here, excited to have discovered this community, and especially excited that I might not have to sleep so miserably on the ground anymore.

    I picked up the Blackbird XLC and the Minifly during Black Friday, and I just got a chance to practice setting it up for the first time ever, and felt like sharing. I picked up a split mesh skin for the tarp, and it took me a while to get it on, but I managed in the end.

    Didn't get a chance to sleep in it yet. I already have a top quilt (EE Rev 20 from camping); an UQ is my next purchase. I did try laying in it, of course, once I had it set up, for about half an hour... and now very much looking forward to spending more time in it.

    Congratulations on - I would say hitting the ground running but it's more like leaving the ground running, I suppose. That's a heck of a good looking piece of gear there.
