Is there such a bird?

**angrysparrow** · 10-06-2009, 22:07

It's called the Traveler.

How do you guys like the Traveler compared to the Blackbird?

**Cannibal** · 10-13-2009, 23:34

I like it very much!
My Traveler is becoming more and more my 'go to' hammock.

The Traveler is a straight up gathered end hammock, correct? No built in foot box like the WB?

Correct. Although, "straight up" might not be the correct term. I don't know what he does or how it works, but my Traveler is more comfortable than my other gathered end hammocks. Something in the whipping, or Voodoo magic. I'm not sure which yet.

I'm not sure what everyone thinks about the footbox anyway. It's nice and creates more room, but it exists on the fabric *above* the feet, not below. The BB *is* a gathered end hammock like the others.

Boy, sticklers for word choice this morning gentlemen.

Thank you though. I was looking at my blackbird yesterday, particularly at the foot box, as I was finally putting gear away from September's trip. Have never seen detailed pics of the Traveler other than the from-the-side, unloaded pic on Brandon's website (the pic, incidentally is not there anymore), and wondered if the foot box was incorporated into it as well. Now I know.
