Thanks Brandon.
Finally! My warbonnet traveler has left the U.S. I might get it, in a few days. Then there is the Swedish Customs, and the Swedish Post Office and they're not the fastest. I'll have to wait another week, I think. and it sucks. I'm like a kid on Christmas I want ... NOW ..:lol::lol::lol:
Congratz :D
It has left the U.S. 23 / 10 10:23 am and the package has not arrived to Sweden yet.
Can it be stolen? or lost in any way? I've talked to Swedish Customs, and they have not found any yet, nor Swedish postal service. What to do? I hope the package will arrive soon. I want my traveler now.:(
Nice! You'll like it. I still want another one.
My Grandmother was living in Greece (after she re-married a Greek chef/restaurant manager). My mom sent her some treats through the mail, and it took 4 MONTHS to get to my Grandmother.Quote:

I sent a package to Germany once and it took a week. I think I also sent a package to another European country and it also took about a week.

I'm a little concerned because the package has not come to Sweden yet and I read on the United States Postal Service "Track & Confirm" Your item left the United States from ISC LOS ANGELES CA (USPS) at 10:23 am on october 23, 2010
Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check
again later.
And I do several times a day but no package has gone through the Swedish Customs Service:confused:
Raw--The Traveler is so good, I bought a second. I, too, have a Blackbird. I think the Traveler, to me, fits and feels better when I'm in it. Ridgeline, suspension with cinch buckles, double layer--hard to beat for the price.
I think if the name were something more jazzy than "Traveler", warbonnetguy wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders. Warbonnet=cool name. Blackbird=cool name. Traveler? Not cool.
How about the Warbonnet Hawk. If that were it, everyone would want one.
As it is, it's our secret ideal hammock. Soon you will know the power of the TRaveler, Rawhide.
You, or some thieving baggage handler in Customs, will be basking on the best hammock in the world. The Warbonnet Hawk. I mean, Traveler.
I really hope it will be me and no thief who may enjoy the hammock.:unsure:Quote:

PS: Perhaps it have been seized in customs for being "overly comfortable" ;)
Thank you my friend.Quote:

My package is found, it came to Sweden this morning. No one knows where it has been but now it's on its way to me anyway. Now it's just the distance remaining between Malmö in the south to Hörnefors in the north. Soon, I can enjoy the comfort of The Warbonnet Traveler.:D:D
Hmm.... you said it was a traveller right? well it have been travelling for a while now ;)
Congrats on the good news....

The longest wait so far, is the Bushbuddy 29 days :lol: (that is from sent --> at my post office)
And i almost live on the airport :)
I actually had a mate ordering it after me and he got it before me :scared:
I think Dutch has the speed record over the Atlantic, 4 days :)
So now when i order stuff , i do the order.
And then i go into zen mode !
It gets here when it gets here.
If it doesn't, we worry about it then :)
I bet i won't be the only one in a WB Travler at the SKAHOw 2010 ?
RAw--I'm sure someone pilfered it, slung around in it at the back of the back of the airport terminal, felt a twang of guilt, and repackaged it to send to you. Hence the mysterious "missing time" on your delivery itinerary. But the bright side is, other than smelling like cigarettes and beer, it will get to you and you will soon be lounging in your Warbonnet Hawk. I love mine--it's hanging from my Vario stand as we speak.
I lie now in my Warbonnet Traveler, a very well made and very comfortable hammock. Brandon! you've done it again. Now I have two wonderful hammocks The Blackbird & The Traveler.:D:D
Congratulations! You now own two of the best! I love my WBBB for use when the mosquitoes are out and my WB Traveler when they are not.:)Quote:

I think they are quite similar. You can lie flat without any problems and it is the same type of fabric:DQuote:

Pictures coming:DQuote:

Very nice. Good to see it in use.
Nice picture. Great hanging spot.
This picture was taken at home. I live this close to the water, it is a lovely place in summer:DQuote:

Thanks for posting. A great hammock, and a sincere and kind hammocker. CK!

Dumb question ..... does the Traveler have the footbox like the blackbird? Just wondering if it's the same design minus the but net/shelf/side tie outs.

Zeker .... Met de hulp van een vertaler.Quote:

This is the same design, though there are no footbox shelf and mosquito nets. The fabric is the same as Blackbird.Quote:

The Traveler, on the other hand, felt great and will be the next hammock I purchase.Quote:

Outside of lack of shelf, netting and having some floppy hammock material at the foot and head the hammocks "feel" the same.
Calf pressure can be eliminated with the right mix of srl length and hang angle.
