    Shug, I'm trying to decide between the Greylock 3 and the Yeti for my Warbonnet Blackbird. . I'm a big 'ol boy, about 6'3", 290, I'm thinking the Greylock might wrap around me better, being a bit wider. Which one would you suggest for the BB?

    Thanks.

    Anyone else feel free to chime in, as well, as I R noob.

    I'd go sleep outside in mine tonight but I believe there's a grizzly bear running around out there right now.

    I do sorta like what HammockGear does for a secondary suspension. It keeps it stretched out.

    I own both and both have served me well. The Greylock does wrap around more.

    Thanks for another funny informational. I know whose sleeves I won't be touching now.....I usually try and catch the stuff you throw at us. This time I did not.

    Are you supposed to wear an eye patch under a monocle??
    If it moves, you can eat it. No promises you will think it tastes good.

    Wow! I'm in loft-awe. With that much down in the Greylock4, do you have to hang your suspension higher up on the tree so you don't bottom out?

    Here is what I did. Shockcord on the tabs at the corners of the Greylock. Prusik knot onto the main channel suspension. http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...va=prusik+knot
    Slide the Prusik towards foot and head end to lengthen the UQ.
