I have had to temporarily suspend testing as the nighttime temperatures here in Michigan have slipped below the comfort range of my current gear.

Does this jacket have the 550 or 700 fp ?
If in fact it is the higher fill power version, consider it sold.!
Thanks,
Darrel :D
A Hammock may be problematic but a pair of Hammocks is a very fine way for the two of you to experience camping together. Highly recommend.

Darrel :D
Hey Tweety,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for your report on the Pink Panther!
I have had My Switchback for a while now and have slept in it several times.
I am very happy with it and...
Last night was beautiful but colder than the night before. We got well into the 20's and it was a cloudless sky.
The homemade Marino wool Buff really made a huge difference. My face stayed nice and...
Tonight is supposed to get pretty cold again.
Looking for nighttime lows of around 27 or so.http://www.hawthorneaudio.com/forums/images/smilies/eusa_dance.gif

Hey Mustardman,
I sold my Black Bird to purchase the Switchback.
For me, the Switchback is a better Hammock. Please note that I prefaced that statement with "For me".;)
Hammocks like any other...
It is my understanding that the makers of the Switchback will also be offering a Tarp and UQ 's specifically designed to compliment their Hammock line.
The Tarp prototype has been seen by some here...

Hey Grillmastertoo,
Thanks!
I am using one of the Sportsman 12 X12 Tarps talked about here on other threads.
They worked very well together. I only did a minimalist setup last night because it...
Ok, Spent the first night in the Switchback last night and had a nice surprise.

Yes you did, and yes I do.:D
I am kind of fussy about how something works as well as how it is made.
I have had nice trucks for example that just didn't work intuitively or were fiddley to...
Hey Sulman,
You're very welcome.
Mine is the single layer 1.9 and as received it came in at exactly 32 Oz on my digital postal scale. It doesn't read out in grams but this should be close enough....
Hey Guys,
My new Switchback Hammock was delivered today and I went out to set it up straight off.
Below is a few pictures hopefully showing what I think are the special features of this...

Hey Cannibal,
Been waiting to see this post!
I should have mine in a couple days and was wishing for a good report from you to pre bias me.:laugh:

It's a Pack, It's a Chair and it even holds the spars for my new Switchback Hammock ...... But wait, it is also field convertible to serve as a Day back, Waist pack, Tool; hauler, Game hauler.....
Here is what I came up with to deal with this issue on our BlackBirds.
On the shelf tie out I ran the elastic through the spring loaded holder, out to the ring and back through the spring loaded...
Yea, My switchback is done and ready to ship.!!!

Hey Dutch,
It may be helpful to think of this hammock as not having a left or right side... not having a head end or a foot end.
"Switchback" implies that you can switch ends during the hang...
So long as there is no juggling involved..... :scared::laugh:

I will gladly second this motion.

Hey Hogn8r,
They are currently within one inch of each other.
22" on the spreader bars Vs 23 On the MMP spars.
We figure we can easily shorten our MMP spars to serve double duty as spreader...
Hey Guys,
This is just too good an idea not to try it out.
The best pack gets even better. ;)
I will leave them one piece and work out a good way to easily get them in out and back in the pack...
Or...
Shorten the spar one inch but do not cut it in half as you would to make a collapsible.
Make a small exit hole one inch up from the very bottom on the MMP sleeve.
To remove you would...
We could leave the ends sewn tightly shut, create an opening in the sleeve at the mid way point large enough to insert the collapsed spar back in and then re-connect as they get almost fully...
Hummmmmm? :laugh:
