    MacCat Deluxe for BB

    Hey everyone! I am new to the site and would like to thank everyone already for steering me towards the Blackbird for my first hammock, which I will be ordering. Now I am looking for a rainfly to go along with it. Many of the other members have been pushing the MacCat deluxe for use in combination with the Blackbird. My only concern with this is that the Black bird is 120" long and the Deluxe is 130" long, leaving only 5" of coverage at each end. I guess my question to all of you is that has anyone using this combination had any issues with rain blowing in the ends of the into your hammocks making you wet? Or do you prefer the warbonnet mambajamba instead? The superfly is too expensive for me at this point in time, but eventually down the road I will have one. Thanks in advance.

    120" is material length, but the ridgeline is only 101". That means you only need 110" or so; 130" is gobs plenty.

    Holy crap! We've moved up to the big time now that we're getting spammed by game geeks.

    No fear, I have faith the Angry Sparrow will thwart this evil doer! As soon as he wakes up that is!
