    DIY Blackbird XLC

    I am thinking of attempting to make a double layer approx. 12' x 74" hammock. I really like the look of the blackbird xlc and its modular components so I was going to try to make something similar. Has anyone tried this yet and if so can you point me to the thread I can't seem to find it looking through the forums.

    This one has some pdfs with measurements and plans

    Here is an example of a completed one

    There were a couple more, but those should get you started. Good luck! The 10 foot WBBB 1.1 DL is my go to hammock for camping. It's so comfortable that I don't feel the need to try an 11 footer. But that Eldorado sure is tempting with the reversible net.

    Any updates?

    Does anyone have an updated measurements for the XLC netting? I did, about 10 years ago, make a blackbird based off the links above, but I am after an updated xlc version with the right curved edges (catcuts).
