Do you have a Blackbird, fellow hanger?

I have to agree that the BB is more comfortable than my TTTM hammock.

Okay, I'm convinced! And I'm surprised at the prices, I thought it would be more. So I have ordered a BB. Now anyone want to buy the regular HH? lol... I guess I'll put it up for sale on ebay...

Or save it as a loaner.

Welcome to the BB Gang!

No, I know, I ordered gray... maybe I'll use my red straps with the purple rings for the MacCat now...

Since I have two HHs, I'm saving the HULBA for the loaner and selling the regular. Most of my backpacking friends are way under 200lbs.

Maybe you could dye it?

I did a little research on that when I got my all green 'almost done' hood from the Jacks. It's pretty easy, but nylon requires HEAT to set the dye. I'm too lazy for all of that.

I've had my BB for a few weeks now. If you come into my yard and try to take it...there's gonna be trouble!

hey alan, don't leave it set up in the yard, uv exposure is bad for nylon. take it down in the morning

When I'm using it during the weekends, it's under my Kelty Noah's 12 tarp. When I'm done with it...it gets locked in a vault during the week so the wife can't use it!
