Blackbird is the best. :-) Shelf, footbox, bug net.
I'm thinking of dynaglide+muletape suspension and ridgeline. You can try also to change side bungees for something thinner, but not very thin. Don't see any other way.
PM me when you are going to be here.
What about BearChaser suspension style? It's 0 degrees to the earth near the tree and 60 degrees near the hammock.

Come to SPb, you'll see one. :-)
Have found this one — Adventure Medical Heatsheets Emergency Blanket. Perfectly sized for UQ cover (56" x 84").
I heard that there are different kinds of space blankets. I suppose I need lightest one. :-)
There is no problem with shipment, 'coz first I order to US.
Thanks guys!
Can you recommend me where to buy light space blanket?
Just want to mention here, that you can buy such UQ from undergroundquilts.com. sr1355 told me in PM about custom options, they are great and lightweight.
I've decided that there is no big difference (both tarps are small but just enough) and bought MLD UL Hammock Tarp for $70 + $5 shipping. For the price of syl diamond I will play with twice as light....
And what about of dual use of space blanket? It might be useful as emergency kit and also double as undercover for rain storms (not on daily basis)?
4.7 for spinn and 4.4 for cuben, but huge difference in price (spinn is on sale).
Yes, I understand, that I shouldn't stake the shelf area.
I plan to use 3/4 or even 2/3 UQ with water...
Hi,
I have WB Blackbird, and want to try diamond asym tarp. I have a choice between two (smaller is much cheaper because made of spinn, not cuben):
1) 126", 102", 98", 59" (spinn, 4.7 oz)
2)...
Very nice bike you have!
And I think to try some bikepacking on.. Brompton folding bike. :-)
Hi,
Does anybody now any sUQ with water resistant down? Quick search showed me only TQ with it.
I'm looking for something like 3-seasons Yeti to pair my Blackbird (asym in favor here). I...
Two week trip to Alps in the middle of July or August and few 4-7 day hangs in June and July in Russia (St Petersburg and Tver, small chance of Urals).
Any plans for SKAHO/something like that...
So how it works?
Btw, I've written to Shiver Shield and they answered that they will have by this fall: small sizes, insoles, stadium seats, hand muffs, and sleeping mats. Gloves and other...
Did anybody try to use Dutch's whoopie hooks instead of carabiners?
Signed onto Russia.
Ordered WB hammock and tarp, JRB Sierra Stealth and HG Incubator 20. Also ZPacks Exo and some other stuff.
If the day will come and I go lighter, I will have to order only from ZPacks (all this...
Can you tell me, where you all buy 7/64" amsteel for this? :-) (I'm not banned in Google, but maybe some of well-know vendors here are selling it).
Or there are any ready solutions for that (btw:...
I imagined myself sitting near the fire at night with friends, when it's getting chilly. But if I take 40F quilt, does it it mean that I suppose that it will be not so chilly for jacket? Here I...
Danced around a lot, updated a table. From all points of view UQ HG Inc 20F looks like the best solution for 3 seasons.
Now the main issue is TQ: 20, 30 or 40 degrees? Don't know, what temperature...
I will order ZPacks Exo, so anyway I will have at least three vendors. :-)
Anybody, more cents, other combinations? :-)
Hello,
I'm new to hanging and I want to buy all-new gear: hammock, tarp, TQ and UQ. I have in mind 5 setups, here they are with some calculations. Have to mention that I will use no pad and will...
After ten days can you share some of your new ideas? :-) I just asked Joe about same tarp but a little bit bigger, and MedicineMan also mentioned earlier:
The only thing I scared is UQ, like...
Privet. :-) That is exactly what I'm thinking right now! BB 1.1 single layer and some of their large tarps.
Btw, how the fabric of Blackbird feels comparing to Hennessy Hyperlight? I heard that...
Hmm, I thought they are the same size like big HH asyms (Hyperlight has 132x105). Or I don't see something?
That was my thought too.
Yeah, I already asked them about this (I can't upgrade...
Why nobody makes big asym-diamond tarps? Ok, even non asym, where are they? I'm new to hammocks, but I saw only JRB 8x8 tarp (that is not in production as I can see).
What is the reason?
They...
So clothes (might be even good wool) is enough for feet insulation, or long UQ is still must? Here I'm talking about ≈50F (and I always can tuck my legs, or couldn't I?).
Thanks. :-) I checked...
Hello,
I'm new to hammocks and planning to buy Hennessy Hyperlight. I'm planning to stay in it at summer nights when temperature might go down to 40F (but usually 55F), also it can be rainy and...
