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.

Love that it keeps the bugs off the face and ever-so comfy. Glad you are enjoying yours too.

Aye! Keeping my old Blackbird in black as a loaner as the XLC is now my bug weather choice of snooze-cocoon.

It really is a right goodie of a hammock for sure.

i'm not real sure. We were at hot springs last september and the i thought I heard a tear while i was laying in the hammock. i kinda moved around a bit and didn't hear anything else. when i was packing up the next morning I took the UQ off and the outer layer had ripped perpendicular for one side to the other. i emailed brandon about it and he said he'd take care of it. just my laziness and travel schedule. I haven't sent it

i will add this my personal experience with Brandon and his customer service are top notch! Plus the hammock is just so comfortable

Great video. Got my 1.7 single layer XLC on the 17th, been comfy in the back yard but I'm looking forward to getting it out in the woods!

Great video, thanks for all you do for the Hammock community. I love my BB XLC, and my BB, and my RR, and my Lynx, and my edge, and my MJ, and my SF...you get the point, I love Warbonnet, one of my go to companies, along with Hammock Gear (8 quilts and CF Hex), also just pulled the trigger on a couple Dream Hammocks to give them a try. I might have a sickness...

Could be worse things to be addicted to.
