I will receive a blackbird tomorrow and my current rig will fall by the wayside. I've already slept in my fiance's 1.0dbl and know my 1.1dbl will be deliciously comfortable. My "extra" hammock will not do anymore now that I'm living in the lap of luxury.
Now, I can't shake the feeling that I need another blackbird for a backup or a loaner. I'd like a 1.7dbl to round out the set, but I know I don't NEED it. Heck, I don't even have trekking poles, a day pack, gravity filter, or a TQ (still using a sleeping bag) yet so I still have other things on my list of things I need for backpacking. Am I crazy for wanting another blackbird or does this happen to others as well? For now, I'll go on fighting the urge to splurge and keep going down my list of needed gear before duplicating anything.
