I had the chance to both meet PapaSmurf and check out the new hammock. Both of which are top notch. Missy Lou made the mistake of trying out the new Thunderbird and it's on her list of must have hammocks. Its getting expensive going to these hangs, I walked away with a Darien UL in my quest to be sub 10# for spring summer and fall pack weight. I'm sure it won't be long before we add a Thunderbird to the fleet of hammocks as well...
