    My blackbird is the best thing I ever slept in. Sometimes I hang it in the back yard just to get a good night's sleep. Maybe I should hang it in the bedroom.

    Waterproofing the tarp panel pulls

    I'm brand new at this, just received a WBBB Friday, been playing with it since.

    Do I understand correctly that the panel pulls have to be waterproofed? Is it a silicone glue or something?
