Woohoo! Christmas in October for me!

I don't know how the man continues to do it...but Paul...you are THE man!

My AHE XL New River literally just arrived by Priority USPS. Ordered it in Woodland Camo to match my AHE 3S Owyhee TQ.

Yes. I'm a geek. I have a matching UQ and TQ from AHE.

But I don't care! Sue me!

This UQ is freakin' awesome! Even the little tabs attached along the sides which could be used to help snug the thing up to my hammock are in woodland camo fabric!

The attention to detail astounds me. The elves from the North Pole can't hold a candle to how fast Paul makes this stuff and Santa Claus sure can't beat Paul's shipping times. I'd be remiss if I left out Paul's uncanny ability to keep me posted via emails during every freakin' step of the way. Incredible communication!

Alan, I am psyched how much you like the gear

There is a Gringo that I know that said today he is going to want to check out that quilt at the TX hang coming up. That is if you can get him out of deer camp

If you happen to ever string up the side loops use some shock cord so that there is still some flex in it.

Enjoy

Hope to test out the new UQ tonight.

We finally got our first little cool front here in Texas. It might dip into the mid-40s tonight where I am. Of course, it will just climb back to 90+ by the next morning.

Alan,

I can't wait to see your "geek gear" at the Texas hang! I will be waiting for you to show it off...since I don't own either. Yet.

Yur killing me Alan, we are getting to where the high is around 40

Well a bit more than that but getting there, I can feel it coming. Have fun hanging, don't get to hot with all that Climasheild.

Sounds great! I'll be glad to show off my matching AHE UQ and TQ!

Paul - I'm betting that all I'll have to use is the UQ! I'll post results.

Pics...
Yes, there's a Blackbird in there somewhere!

Opened up with entrance side of netting flipped over the ridgeline

Another shot with the entrance side of netting flipped over the ridgeline

The rest of the shots are with the netting zipped up

Man that baby fills out a BB

Looks good the camo with the OD BB.

Thanks for the pics Alan, they really add perspective to the XL NR. With the skeeter net tossed over that thing almost seals right up. Is someone in the hammock for the pics? Add a BBO and you are in nest land.
