Order #624 & #721

[Singingcrowsings]

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!!! :boggle:

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?

[Singingcrowsings]

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.

Exact one I'm looking at...congrats again, and enjoy!

[Singingcrowsings]

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


Good luck on your purchase!

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?).

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.
