    No brag, just fact . . .

    Got my notice today, and my own personal double layer 1.1 Warbonnet Blackbird hammock is ready and will be shipped soon. What a good feeling to know it was made here in the U.S.A. by a true craftsman. Thank you Brandon, the short wait was worth it, and in another few days I will be takin it for a spin. And thanks to everyone who helped point me in this direction. Life is good, Nick

    Well, I am leanin toward the Warbonnet Superfly, but the JRB Hammock Hut looks good for what I think I need also. The granddaughter camps with me most of the time, and I am thinkin maybe somthin simple for her to hang in also. I am gonna try my luck at makin a small one for her, then get her a JRB Bear Mountain Bridge hammock to grow into. Of course I would have to hang it myself a few times to make sure it is safe for her and all. Who knows, she may prefer the Blackbird. Either way, I won't get hurt. At five years of age, she still has papaw wrapped pretty tight, so I have a feeling it's gonna maybe take another Blackbird. Life is good, Nick

    That's great! Ahhh, memories of being the only grandchild. Life was indeed grand.

    Welcome to the BB Gang. You'll love it! No opinion on the JRB Hut (don't have one) other than in looks nice and I hear good things. The SuperFly is, well...super! I don't think you'll be disappointed with either.
    Trust nobody!
