I'll just say that I bought one of the original WB Blackbird double layers back in 2007 or 2008 from Brandon. I still have it, it doesn't have a singly issue and I used it heavily until I decided to...
So a friend of mine told me a story about a trip to Mardis Gras and a little device he bought to avoid paying $15 cover charges just to go into a bar to use their restroom.

Yeah, for me, the 20 deg Wooki makes sub 40 ambient temps comfortable sleeping even with the 40 deg MytyLite.
Yesterday I had the chance to test my 20 deg Wooki with my top quilt which is a 40 deg Western Mountaineering MytLite bag that has a separate zippered footbox that I have used for about 15 years. I...
I once had a deer stick its nose and stamp under my tarp - scared the bejeezus out of me...
I am open to coming if we can settle on a date. Just let me know what weekend is settled on.
One comment, from experience, if the ground is soft you need something to keep the solo from sinking into the ground and slowly lowering you! I made this mistake and woke up on the ground with...
Oldham County here.
One other thing, check out what kind of activity a seller or buyer has if they are not someone that you are familiar with. Easily done by searhcing for their user name and see what kind of...

Just Bill, I checked out those links for the Anker products, and to my untechnical eye, those smaller units won't power a CPAP machine of any kind. Having said that, the Pilot Lite 12 I have does...
Z1/z2 does work with any mask so many many options

Excellent post about CPAP in general. Then pressure question is what is great about the Z1 auto - basically one doesn’t have to worry about the pressure settings as the machine does all of that for...
I think that you posted a pic of that set up previously and I stole the kids lunch box idea and used it. It worked perfectly, just enought padding to offer a bit of protection with enough room for...
I thought I would update my findings with my new Medistrom PilotLite 12. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200707/b30077ecc512178879f644e0baba18c0.jpg...
I noticed when I got my Tensa4 how different the hang was as the stand itself tends to prevent one from cranking down the suspension, and encourages the more correct positioning of head versus foot. ...

Backyard hang last night. The third hammock is behind the willow tree

I have had my Z1 for about 6 years and have no complaints.
I see what you did there....LOL!
As I said, I am 6 foot 265 pounds and it held me fine. It was very stable and I had no issues getting in and out etc. In fact, what I noticed is that it is actually EASIER to get a correct hang for...
I was a bit nervous to tie it off at the ends as I want to have the tarp taut. Won't cause any issues?
I printed this in color to assist with my first set up this afternoon. Other than a couple of minor confusing points it was an excellent resource! Thanks!!

Ah! I will have to look into the tarp extenders. I didn’t see them before!

Arrived this afternoon and I couldn’t wait to set it up. Took me about 30 mins due to a bit of confusion on a couple of points, but not difficult at all - I figure once I’ve done this a few times...
I have a Z1 with integrated battery pack. It gets about 7 hours overnight so I am adding an AIM power station. I'll let you all know how this addition does. If it does not do well, I am going to...
I had the same thought. I actually just bought an XLC with a new tarp from Brandon (hasnt shipped yet) and will hand over the old reliable BB to my wife as she is now getting interested in hammock...
I use a Thermorest between the layers of my WBBB (circa 2008). I've found that for summer months I don't need to bring it, but if the temps are projected to dip below 65 or so, I bring it and use...

I’m more amazed at the hammock stands and the proliferation of hammock brands etc!

Yeah, its amazing how much the landscape has changed - and some of the tech as well...
Life got in the way of enjoying the outdoors for a while. Now that I have the time I have the itch again to get out. Was doing a lot of day hikes but very little camping. Keep me in the loop for...
Hoping to reconnect with some old friends. Also looking to set up some group hangs in Kentucky/Southern Indiana. Heading to Charlestown State Park June 12-13 for the first outing this year (thank...
Wouldn't take the iPad hiking - thats my time to get away, but it was nice to hang in the back yard, watch Boondock Saints in a rainstorm and then go to sleep in a comfortable wbbb!
So I am out testing my new Warbonnet Blackbird (Brandon rocks!) in the back yard tonight hoping for a solid rain storm to hit us here in Louisville so I can test my set up, and I thought to myself,...
I might be able to squeeze into the Friday night and Saturday portion of the outing.
Just getting concerned as my payment cleared PayPal back on April 16 and I sent a follow up email to the email address on his website - but no reply. wondering if my order made it to him or not!
Anyone have phone number for him? Please PM me.
Trying to follow up on an order but seem to be having trouble getting in touch.
Gracias!

You guys rock!
Anyone done the trails in the Monongahela National Forest - Gauley Ranger District? We are thinking of taking a scout troop over for a 50 mile loop this summer. Anyone "been there and done that?"

For me it came down to comfort first. But, I will say that even with a HH Explorer Deluxe and their stock (non-sil) hex fly my base weight on my last outing was 10 lbs. With food and water for...
I agree with most of your posts, being in the great outdoors carries with it risks that we take in a calculated effort to enjoy our hobby.
For example this weekend we were down at RRG for an...
I think that was the deal, 3 PM at the Visitors Center.
I am planning on it. Probably will have my son with me, and a friend with his sons (2).
Somehow I missed this conversation in January, but from my experience, I love using my Trail Lite Large in the hammock. That extra width helps inside the hammock and I have not experienced an...
Sounds good to me
Hanging under tarp at end of hammock works for me, but I learned on my first trip what NOT to do:
Soaking wet stuff, but not raining anymore when we set up camp, so I look at my HH with its...
I know I read an article or series of posts on this or another forum before, but since I am a bit lazy . . .

Chemical foot warmers work wonders for the feet when you are cold hanging!
Hooch, let's set something up at RRG before you move - one for the road as it were.
Hooch, are you going to make this one?
