New Thunderbird - Order 907

[silentorpheus]

My Thunderbird arrived in the mail today. I was working from home, so I took a little break to set it up real quick in the backyard and snap some pictures. More testing to follow, when I actually have time to set it up properly and sleep in it.

Specs:

Thunderbird # 907
Length: 11'
Single Layer, 1.8oz Charcoal Grey Nylon Taffeta
Whoopie Sling Suspension
Overcover: 1.1oz Black
Weight: 31.4oz, with everything it comes with, in the stuff sack

Really liking the Charcoal Grey fabric. It looks great, and seems to lay pretty nice - firm, but not rock hard. Planning on swapping out the stock suspension for continuous loops and whoopie hooks once I have some time. Then I'll get it set up, and spend a few hours in it. In the meantime, pics to follow in the next post.

Where is the overcover?

Where is the overcover?

In a peak bag at the foot end of the hammock.

I was technically goofing off while I should have been working, so I didn't take the time to set up the over cover and take pictures of that too. That'll be on the next round, once I swap the suspension.

Nice, Silent. Now you will have more mornings waking up late.

I certainly hope so.

I love my WB BBXLC - especially the footbox.

I don't even own a WBBB. Just refining my SilentOrpheus chop-busting skills. He's been preparing for (After Shelf Life) for some time.
