    It arrived just in time.

    So after ordering my BB four weeks ago I had given up on it getting here in time for Cub Adventure Weekend. Then as everyone else in my order cycle had their shipping email I still didnt I knew it wouldnt make it. After an email to Brandon he saw it had been overlooked and got it in later that same night. I still knew it would be today I would find the package and might get a test hang in today. However I was wrong. He got it in perfect. The mail ran just as we were pulling out to head to camp and there was the holy grail, er BB. Grabbed the package and went. Opened it on the way to camp and did my first hang in the rain. First the tarp is amazing. Rained hard the whole first day and I might as well been in one of the tents. And even though I didnt get the BB hung exactly right due to time and daylight it slept better than any of the four hammocks we now have. So after all of this I will apologize for my lack of faith and send out a huge thanks to Brandon for such a perfect product for how I sleep. I do see a smaller tarp in my future and maybe even a traveler for when the boy gets into more hiking but for now this is perfect. Thanks again.

    Thank You. Hope to hang it back up sometime today or tomorrow to work on my set up. The wife in her DD were good too but that hammock just isnt as comfortable to me. So glad she ordered this one for me. Couldnt get the kids to sleep in their's though because we have not added the bug nets yet. They are in the tent at the foot of the DD.

    That's great, I am glad you got it in time for the campout. That was close I ordered mine on the 6th so I probably have a couple more weeks or so. I hope you guys had a blast at camp. I already have a set of skins that should be here before the superfly. Now I am looking at UQ's.

    I am going to have to look into those as well. Like the idea of tarp hung but put up and the same for the hammock. UQ may have to wait a bit but I know for a fact the are on the list. I may just cut the zipper off of my military sleep system to use as a TQ though cause it worked great this trip and I have two sizes that combine for a third so great versatility.
