    New Bird

    Awesome! I just got my new Blackbird 1.7 SL in the mail today and had to set it aside as I did grown up stuff. (that was hard) Now that I have had a chance to set it up the way I like it I must say that this has to be **** near the best $150 I've ever spent. Excellent workmanship. I immediately put whoopie slings on it and and changed out the ridgeline to 1.7 lash-it and then strung her up down in my basement. So comfortable. I may just sleep down there tonight! I let my girlfriend try it as I got the underquilt adjusted and she wouldn't get out! Seriously, she almost fell asleep in it herself. (we may be ordering another).

    P.S. a single layer BB with whoopie suspension fits nicely in a Z-packs cuben tarp bishop sack. Not that anythings wrong with the stock one, just thought some weight wienies (like myself) would like to know.

    Congrats! They are pretty sweet rides. I have a 1.1 DL and I had Joe V. Make me a coule bishops outta the medium plus sack he carries. Its a little bigger than needed but allows for contour when packing and still keeps it under control. Happy Hangin!

    Great setup - my 1.7 dbl still is one of my main go-tos!

    Just got my wbbb and superfly today too. In fact I am laying in mine right now! Just waiting for the wife to get home to find me hanging in the living room, just hope I don't get in too much trouble for mounting the eye bolts in the walls.

    Ha Ha. I guess it's easier to ask for forgiveness rather than for permission.
