My husband took a picture of me sleeping in it. It was low 50s and I was trying my UQ and GG pad in between the layers. It was NOON! lol There was a breeze but my Winter dream tarp was not pitched for the wind. I hung the BB up yesterday in the Prescott Forest and fell asleep immediately. I think my hesitation was the netting on the BB and no weather shield. Made all the conversions to the Clark, whoopie slings/toggle system.
(like a year!) and never got into it, since I was convinced my clark was perfect for me. I purchased my BB off the forums here a while ago I do love my BB more than any of the other hammocks we have. But I felt that it was TOO much and that I couldn't quickly look out the netting to check out suspicious noises. My husband has a HH UL Explorer, and his HH has even more room inside. I immediately noticed the room on the sides when lying in the BB. I just converted to a WBBB 1.7 Dbl layer. Crowsnest three season quilt has been ordered Weight Limit Max Flatnessīlackbird Double Layer 1.1oz (grey) 27.25oz / 31.25oz 250 200īlackbird Double Layer 1.7oz (olive green) 36.5oz / 40oz 375 300īlackbird Single Layer 1.7oz (olive green) 25oz / 29.25oz 240 190 So which BlackBird do I get? Howfar can I push the envelope & still be very very comfortable. So, I would like my second hammock to be a smaller pack size then the Clark set up but of course very comfortable at the same time. I'll be keeping the Clark hammock for winter (love the weathershield) & friends. Does anybody have photos of the hammock in a compressed state (maybe next to a pop can)? What is the size of each hammock in there compressed state? Weight is not as important as size (compactibility). I use my hammock mostly for touring with my bicycle. Good thead discusing the hammock & weight my weight. Can't say I'm totaly comfortable and would prefer a flater lay as I hear the BB would provide as in this post. Currently contemplating purchasing a Blackbird as a second hammock and would appreciate some thoughts from Brandon, Clark Hammock users who have slept in the BB (Cavediver2, Fin, Raw), & any others with a word to say.
