Just ordered one on 11/1/2018! I will leave feedback once I get it and test it. I did Foothills Trail from Oconee SP to Bad Creek Access on 10/26-10/29. The trip left me with a wishlist for gear...

Sounds awesome! If you love gators and snakes you're in the right spot. Can’t wait to hear about it

Well, Dang it! Sorry to hear that there is no availability on Cumberland Island for the week that you want to go. Hang on to that itenary though because it seems perfect for getting a good look at...
It is my understanding that the sulfur/rotten egg smell is from sulfate-reducing bacteria and your hollow core filter should filter out the bacteria. Is possible that sulfur/rotten-egg smell might...
You picked a great time to go to Cumberland Island! Are you headed into the backcountry? There are good campsites for hanging there. A friend and I went last April. We stayed in Hickory Hill and...
Thanks! I enjoyed your video of your Linville Gorge trip last month. I hope to visit there sometime but when temps are warmer - watching your video report made me shiver!!
Been on a few of those;) Some trips you just have to endure (builds character, right??) Hope it was enjoyable despite the conditions!
There is no bridge for car access. The other group that was camping there arrived in a johnboat. They put in at Lazerreto Creek boat ramp. It should also be possible to arrange a water taxi to drop...
Agreed about the comfort items! I took a camp chair, pillow (not inflatable) and a hatchet - all would have likely stayed at home if I were backpacking. I love that my most of my backpacking gear...
I have been thinking about doing this trip for quite some time – on Friday of last week, the stars aligned and I finally made it over to Little Tybee Island for a quick overnight hang. I launched...
Been ruminating on this for a few days...Makes me appreciate the challenge of naming products (without duplicating or infringing on copyrights, etc.), especially when there is a constant stream of...
No accessories yet but I would definitely like to acquire an underquilt at some point. I am relatively new to hammock camping and I am trying to pace myself:). My wife said to me today: 'So, we own 3...
First night in my 2nd Gen WBB XLC (first night in any blackbird hammock for me). Received the hammock on Thursday, setup Saturday in back yard. Slept well - 7.5 hours with 1 'potty' break around 3am....
Same boat here! I got the 'your order has shipped' e-mail today also - but too early to track it. I wanted to order the XLC in early August but no luck due to the fabric supply issue. I ordered a...
I'll check them out. Thanks.
With Irma tracking west of us, looks like we may escape the worst of it. We do have some potential for severe weather (heavy rain, wind and possible tornados) through tomorrow. My thoughts go out to...
Thanks! I have already purchased a few accesories from Dutch. I had decided on a WB Blackbird XLC but they were temporarily unavailable due to a fabric supplier issue. I just could not wait any...
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! As for trips to break in the hammock, a couple of possibilities: An overnight kayak camping trip to Little Tybee once the weather is a little colder (and bugs...
Thanks for the tip about soaking in a plastic bag. Luckily, I am a procrastinator and your post reminded me that treating my setup was on my to-do list. Just took care of it and it is drying now. I...
Ok, great! Good to know. The mosquitos and no-see ums are relentless around here. Thanks!
Any tips from someone that has sprayed their hammock with permethrin? I recently purchased a Chameleon in 1.60 Hexon with the bugnet. Spent 2 nights in it this weekend. I could hear the mosquitos...
Hello all!
I became intrigued with hammock camping while on a short backpacking trip to Roan Highlands last month. Over the last month, I have learned a lot from the folks on this board and...
