    Order #624 & #721

    My Freebird with matching bugnet have arrived, and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality in craftsmanship!

    I have yet to take it for a test drive, but I should be able to in a couple of days. I can't believe I'm finally entering the world of hammock camping!

    Very Excited!!!

    Thanks PapaSmurf!

    Congratulations! I've been looking at the Freebird myself as a good lightweight no-net option when the bugs aren't out. Is the actual weight close to that calculated on the website?

    I don't have a scale, but in the box with both items and suspension, it weighed 1lb9oz, so I think it would safe to say yes.

    Feeling it by hand, the box it came in feels like it weighs the same as the hammock (1.1 sl) with suspensions.

    Seriously though, this is a professionally made piece of gear. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dream Hammock.

    I should note too, all the rumours are true.... PapaSmurf (Randy) provides very thoughtful and patient customer service.


    Good luck on your purchase!

    First attempt at hanging this thing:

    I tightened it before taking the pic, so I think I had a better angle to begin with (I don't know why this pic is so much smaller?).



    With bugnet:



    With Faux-peapod (It worked!):

    Second Attempt! Much better...

    I still think a little more sag will do me good. It was snowing, and not as bright, so the pictures aren't as clear.
