Mule just ordered his Blackbird

**Mule** · 12-08-2008, 17:00

This is one of my two really great hammocks. This one has the bugnet with zipper, the other has no bugnet and is made with 3/16 Spectra suspension. If the Blackbird performs like I think it will, I will be making it my number one hammock, because I am missing not having to deal with the spreader bars of a bridge. I love the flat lay of the bridge, but I miss the easy swing and tight smaller tarp of a gathered hammock, too. Mule

That's the way I like to deal with Brandon Warbonnet. I just send him money in hopes he can find something nice for me, since I was so double triple dog pleased with the one product from him that I have, the CS short UQ.

Actually, back in November, I had been PM'ing him about a BB. Could not decide which one to get. He said the 1.7 would lie flatter than the 1.1, but maybe not as much as you might think because the 1.1 was parachute grade. But a double 1.1 would lie flatter than a single 1.7, but the flattest of all would be the double 1.7. Especially with my 205 lbs, as opposed to his significantly lighter weight. However, at that time, he had not tried a double 1.7, so he wasn't positive it would be noticeably flatter. But he seemed to think it might be noticeably so with the heavier folks.

So, a 24 z 1.1 double, or a 31 oz 1.7 double? Needless to say all other things equal I'd rather have the lighter 1.1. But if flatness would be noticeably improved, I'd suck it up on the extra 7 ozs. In the mean time, he was going to try and figure it out if the dif would be noticeable.

So, it turns out I PM'ed him to just send me whichever one he thought was best for me, and then I forgot about it. So yesterday I got a PayPal request for payment. I sent it, and we pm'ed back and forth. I'm still not positive what he is sending me ( just like with Santa)! So it will be a nice Christmas surprise.

But I think it is going to be a double 1.7, as he has made an adjustment to my PayPal payment.

But I just love surprises(pleasant one, anyway)!

That is how I handled it just sent money and told him to make something he thought I needed for my height and weight with all the whisles and bells and I got just what I wanted. with all the great workmanship that he does I was not unhappy at all at what he picked.

BLACKBIRD IS HERE and hanging in my garage. I think I'm in love. It's a fine hammock. My JRB quilts fit fine, and I really like the suspension system. I am fitting one of my Hammock Weather Covers to it now. Thanks Brandon for a fine piece of gear.
I also received my Super Fly, but I think the ground is so hard I may not get to set it up for a few days. I bet I find a way. Mule

B.F.H.
First word is "big" (or "bigger" if second attempt), third is "hammer", you figure out the word in between.

Have fun with it! I thought I liked mine as much as one could and not receive therapy, but the more I sleep in it, the more and more I like it.

Enjoy Mule! I got my BB and took it out this weekend. Best night I've spent in the woods asleep! Now I'm looking for any excuse to get back out this weekend.
