What a great job you did in the report! Very clear and informative. Brandon could use some pics like the ones in your report on his website. Maybe he could trade a hammock setup for some HF member to hook him up with some updated web design. Just an idea.

w00t! You go, girl!....Spent 3 days in my hammock over the weekend. Everyone else was talking about looking forward to their bed, and I was trying to figure out where I could hang my hammock in my apartment

Just to let you know, I uploaded the next bit of my test report of the blackbird hammock here http://tiny.cc/KRZXo Feel free to suggest any improvements in what I'm doing, the help last time made all the difference! The others should be posting theirs within the next week or 2 too.

Sophie;
Nice report. Sounds like you're getting the hang (no pun intended) of your BB.
With each hang, you'll gain more knowledge, and the ins and outs of sleeping restfully in the woods. I know I have. Now, when funds permit....a nice silnylon tarp for ya!!
It was interesting to see you going to the ground on the beach. Personally, I'll sleep standing up before I'll go to the ground again

Sophie, thanks for you report. Glad you are enjoying the hammock thing.
I did notice your knot in the photo, and while it is working for you, it is not quite right. Loop the loose end of webbing around the tensioned portion and then tie your slippery half-hitch. Check this video for a good example.http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/v...ls&videoid=115 Around the 6:00 minute area.
Thanks again for your report. Sell your bivy and get a nice tarp.
There are also a few options for indoor hanging, check Ramlinrev's video on the stand he built.
