    ViDEO: Warbonnet BlackBird XLC Hammock Overview

    Been meaning to get a video overview of this very well designed and comfortable hammock out there. I've had it out on a trip or two and found the 11' length even more comfortable than the original Blackbird. Plus...the removable bugnet and added mesh to overall design makes for better views and catches a bit more of a breeze in warmer weather.

    Working till Midnight in Columbus tonight so it was a real treat to watch a Shugrow production before bedding down tonight! As always pal ... mighty fine work there. Rightly enjoyed that. Not a bad hammock either!

    Is your Yeti made for a left lay or do you make a standard one work?

    Thanks for the vids.

    Thanks for the overview. Couldn't agree with you more about Warbonnet. I got my first hammock an XLC last fall largely on advice I found here. Keep discovering how its design adds to a hang pretty much each outing. For a noob it was a good start, I didn't fully understand all of the advantages when I first got it, and now know that'll work for me a long time. Appreciate the video.

    Great review there Shug!! I have maybe half a dozen nights in my XLC, sold my regular WBBB to a buddy. It was great, but the 11 foot XLC is more comfy for this 6'4" 280lb fellow.

    I thought that hammock should deserve a video by you! :-) It's a great piece of kit, that's for sure. And I don't think I'll ever need another hammock again (right...).
