Thanks to all for all the great help and suggestions. It definitely helped make my first real hang (i.e. not in the...

Headed out to Zimmerman Trail in the Comanche Peak Wilderness this weekend to try out my new Warbonnet Blackbird. It was my first backpacking trip without a tent. I must say it was such a success,...

OK, got some good stuff thanks to Warbonnet. It's nice living a street over from them :D

I think I'm ready for my first backpacking trip...

Alright, thanks for the tips. I'll see what I can scrounge up tomorrow. Dicks and sporting authority both list trip tease online, maybe i'll call them and see if they have any in stock locally.
...

Yeah, thats what I thought too. I specifically went in there looking for trip tease but my REI only had nylon cord (PMI utility cord in several gauges). Would this be OK for the ridgeline? I was...

Hi,

I am trying to find some decent rope to hang my Warbonnet Mamajamba before this weekend (Forgot to order some guy line, Doh). My local REI has only PMI nylon cord which I understand can...

Thanks, Yeah I wasn't sure I had the best angles but it was already so comfy I could easily have dozed off if my wife didn't want to try it too :) . I'll experiment a little more tomorrow.

After fixing my issues with the cinch buckles I had my first hang with my new hammock in the backyard today. Here is a pic of my wife trying it out. She thought it was so comfortable she wants me...

Thanks all for your help. I just rethreaded them, basically I just reversed the threading from going in through the top to going in from the bottom and now there is no slippage! Thanks again!

Thanks for the picture! I oriented mine as you have shown and sure enough the bottom webbing is excess and the top is the one with the biner.

I'll rethread these tomorrow and give it another go.

Yeah, those are the buckles I have. Here are two pics from different angles. I can just pull with a little force on the hammock side and they slide really easily.

Hi,

I've been testing out my new BB 1.1 and have a problem with the buckles slipping. This is the newer model of adjustable webbing with the cinch buckles and according to the directions it...

Thanks for the suggestion....I have a footprint from a 4 person tent. I am wondering if that will be large enough to work for my first outing. I'm actually still in the waiting queue to get my...

Great, thanks for the picture, that will help. I'll probably run in there tonight and see if they have any. Can't really beat the price and performance. Now I need to figure out what to do about a...

Yeah, that's the stuff I was looking at too. Have you ever compared it to the wallyworld blue pads? I can't find the link right now, but there was an article I was reading that suggested the REI...

Thanks all, I have a BB 1.1 double layer. From what BillyBob58 was saying I guess I don't need the SPE in a double layer, maybe I'll check out the waffle pad that gunner76 suggests. That pad from...

Headed out in two weekends for my first trip using my hammock. The biggest reason I made the switch is for comfort after borrowing a friend's setup, which had a UQ. I have a really tough time...
