Went on my first overnight backpacking hammock trip (and my wife's first backpacking trip period). Hiked in about 6-7 miles. There were not as many campsites as I would've expected, so ended up settling for a suboptimal spot where my head was hanging lower than the base of the tree that end was hanging from and my lower half was over the bank which made staking out the tarp a real experience. Still got the BBXLC in its sweet spot thanks to the level. Pictures don't really show the awkwardness. Never would've gotten another tent in this spot.
Overnight low of ~40F, 0% chance of rain but it sprinkled for a couple hours anyways. Loved hanging out under the spacious tarp. Great success. Woke up so toasty I was walking around camp with short sleeves and no socks in my sandals while neighbors had their puffy jackets on.
