    Love the zip-off bugnet / convertable feature of the hammock. This one will definately go on my wish list.

    I REALLY like the openness of it. Nice to be able to see about. The cover is a real plus for cold weather. On my list for sure.

    Really like the new 11'er.
    I have a question on the zipper. Is it just one pull that goes all the way around?
    I could not tell in the video.

    Yes, he does state that the zipper goes around the end. So it is one long zipper.

    I like that the covers are completely removable setting it apart from the DangerBird. One disadvantage in having just one long zipper I see is that practically speaking, you still have only one side with which to enter and exit. Same as before. With the DB you could technically use either side.

    Still a very nice hammock. I like the openness of it. Should be nice and cool in the Summer months.

    Any plans to offer this on the 10 ft version as well?

    I wonder if the zipper has a second slider so that you can reach under the hammock to adjust the underquilt from both sides? This is something I miss being able to do on my regular Blackbird.

    Excellent point! I also would like to be able to adjust a quilt like that.

    Wow. You combined all 3 of your hammocks into one. Very cool.

    The boss has been wanting a hammock for a while;

    Somewhere along the line, the laborious and expensive evolution will push these type of hammocks over $300 or close to it. Never mind the Clark...
