Can't speak to their cuben tarps (running a superfly tarp myself, dreaming of the day I can justify a cuben tarp or two :P). I've gotten a few quilts from hammockgear though and love them all. I initially got a 20 degree incubator and 20 degree burrow(no overstuff for either) and they've taken me down to the rated temperatures comfortably, once I'd fiddled a bit to get the UQ adjusted up properly to me. A few months ago I got a custom -20 F pair of quilts from them, a short incubator and a regular burrow. Deeper baffles than the normal model and loads of extra down. I've had them out in the back yard and they've been overkill there, no chances yet to take them anywhere near their rated temps. Superb workmanship though and I have no doubts they'll serve me well this winter.

Nice on the hammock really like the new top cover wish they did that with blackbird

For a tarp with doors, you can't go wrong with a superfly. I've been through some crazy winds and snowstorms with it and its proven itself time and time again. Not sure if you've bought a tarp yet at this point, being months after you posted the video. Haha.

i have the xlc with incubator and burrow under and top quilt by hammockgear. excellent combo. fits perfect and love it coupled with my superfly and optional top cover for xlc. works for 4 season just perfectly. enjoy your new gear

A couple thoughts. I have been using the XLC for a little over a year and still like it! It may take you a few trips to get the angle filed in, once you do try to remember it! It seems to me that it always takes a few adjustments each time I set it up. Guess I'm not getting out enough. Tarps, the HG CF tarps are great Summer tarps, but the sides are only about 4' 6" so there is not a lot of coverage on the sides in the winter to deal with the wind and snow or rain. For winter conditions I suggest getting a large wide tarp, or make your own. Even a 12x10 blue tarp would work, if you can find it, 12x12 works great. Granted these are not real light or super nice looking, but for starting out in the winter it works with out spending a lot of money. Under quilts, I am still working on this, way to much spent on quilts, but thats the learning process. A good insulated pad and some 3' wide reflex or something like that should get you to about 30 degrees with the right sleeping bag. If that's something that you already have I would suggest trying that out first. Winter hammock camping can be something of an acquired taste. Before spending a bunch of cash on new gear, try it out and see how you like it, of course if you got a tone of cash burning a hole in your pocket, go for it! :-D Best of the hang! Wolfman

hey.great video on this hammock. thanks for sharing

Great Video. Got mine on the way...

this looks better than my hennessy. but its a few years into the future, since I bought mine. nice look. thanks

You can't go wrong with Hammockgear stuff! Underground quilts.com makes nice UQ. Z-packs has a new UQ (I have not seen any reviews on these yet though and they are expensive)

We are looking at going to the hammock setup. The Dream Hammock or Warbonnet Blackbird is our top 2 at this time. We have been trying to find a true 2 person hammock, but the weight ends up more than a tent. Most likely one for each. Bob

Love these videos I'm considering starting hammock camping I haven't before but I live on a woods basically so what would you recommend as a starter hammock and equipment I'll need?

I just got this hammock. How do you prevent “shoulder squeeze?” When I get in and kick over diagonal my shoulders are rolled like I’m in a taco!

great vid! is the ridgeline permanent attached or is it necessary to string a new one everytime

Any update on your winter trip and setup?

How have you ended up liking the warbonnet xlc?

If your handy with a sowing machine you can go the DIY route. Underquilts.com you can buy a shell. Wildernesslogics.com you can its goose down by the ounce I did it and never used a sowing machine prior.

Buy an insulted air mattress it will help you on the near or sub 0 trips. I hung in -6* toasty!!

Is there a little colorado flag and warbonnet logo sewn on there somewhere?

are those whoopie slings?

If i had a double layer hammock i wouldnt even bother with a underquilt. I would just use the sleeping pad

I just realized I repeated myself, sorry I must be getting old.
