    Yep, I got one, have to wait on my sewing machine to get back from repair to do the under sheild mod to it.
    Predictions are risky, especially when it comes to the future.

    I'm sure this has been thought of already by others but I just tried attaching my DD poncho to my blackbird without using carabiners. I tied a short piece of shock cord (12-16 inches long) to each of the four end grosgrain loops on the poncho. Each piece of shock cord then has a small loop on the end to hook over the whipping bundle on each end of the hammock. No adjustments or carabiners needed. Then just cinch up the drawstrings on each end of the poncho and your good to go. The shock cord stays permanently attached to the poncho so you don't have to mess with a separate suspension system. The BB whipping will be a bit busy with shock cord attachments since I attach my Yeti there and my soon to be received BBO top cover but it shouldn't be a problem.

    This is excellent.
