my son is 7 years old, and has begun to express an interest in going hiking with me. when i bought my blackbird, i sold my tent (which was only big enough for me, anyways), so i'm going to have to...
forgive me if this is a ridiculous question, but i'm new to hammocking and need some clarity. i'd like to hang without my tarp on nights that i know it won't rain, and i know many of you do this. ...

too hard to pass up, PM sent
I'm a newbie and have just ordered my first hammock (a blackbird double 1.1). I'm pretty sure I want a SWT, but I have a couple of questions about your post. What are the grommets on the ridgeline...

My next AT section hike will be the last week in April, starting in Deep Gap, NC and heading north for 7 or 8 days. This will also be my first long trip using a hammock, which I will be purchasing...
