Blackbird and full length UQ's

[Shewie]

I've used a Speers Snugfit (should never have sold it ) and more recently a 0* or 20* Incubator, not had a problem yet. I do sit quite far back though, my feet rarely touch the end of the footbox (I'm 5' 10") if I've got a good hang.

Have you tried one yet Jim or just getting some views before deciding on one?

I use an UKhammocks extra long(about 10 inch longer then me) and wide full length winter quilt(about 5F) with my WBBB XLC. I haven't had any problems with slipping around the footbox certainly not since I've added UQ tri-plates. My only slippage problem ever was around the shoulder and that is now solved with the tri-plates.

Haven't had a chance to try a BB or a UQ but I know a BB will be in my future. Just wondering how the footbox works out with a UQ.

Went up to the Blue Ridge with my Switchback last week. My first hammock camping experience. Nights were in the low 60's and I used thin yoga pad between the layers and a 35* bag. Worked great but the pad was pretty bulky and not something I want to carry if I start backpacking again.
Just ordered a Baby Orca and TQ from Mac, but when I get around to ordering full length UQ I'd like to be able to use it with all my hammocks and I plan on having a BB in the future.

Is it just my gear head compulsiveness, or do these hammocks really multiply like rabbits?

HG short Incubator 20* with 1 oz overstuff, works both on my WBBB and WBRR.

Always wanted a HG Incubator for my Blackbird. But I wound up with WB Yeti and haven't felt the need to change. A sit pad under my heals is been good for me. YMMV
