At the age of 64, I found I could no longer sleep well or comfortably on the ground. Even while canoe camping and using a lightweight cot, I would get up stiff and sore every morning. I decided I had to get off the ground so I bought a $40 gathered end hammock on Amazon and used it on several trips with my tarp. I slept better and didn't wake up sore. I did my research and decided that a bridge hammock was the way I wanted to go, even though it would be a bit more weight. I settled on the WBRR double-layer and a Thunderfly tarp. I kept an eye on the WB site and was fortunate enough to catch a good sale. Last year I used it from early spring through late fall and it was fantastic. I sleep better in it than I do in my bed at home (of course, all that fresh air helps). At the time, getting a top quilt and underquilt was not possible, so I used my 40d sleeping bag on top along with a Klymit V insulated pad and a military casualty blanket as bottom insulation in the sleeve . With the proper clothing , I slept fine into the mid-40s. I wanted to shed some bulk (the sleeping bag) so later in the season, I bought a Pine Down Blanket on Massdrop and used that with a Costco down blanket that I had with the same bottom insulation. Along with the clothing, I slept fine into the same temps. For this past Christmas and my 65th birthday, I asked for and received a Hammock Gear Econ Burrow 20d top quilt, an Arrowhead Equipment Ridge Creek XL 3 season underquilt and a 2QZQ underquilt protector. I am looking forward to using them this year, probably still with the casualty blanket in the sleeve. Here are some photos of my setup on some of my Adirondack trips.
WarbonnetThe double layer is to add an insulating layer (pad) on the bottom of the hammock. This makes it so much more comfortable. You dont wake up in the night readjusting your pad because its slipped out from under you. Single layer is a deal breaker for me, I really like the pad sleeve!!
MrknotI weigh 213 and have no problem with my double layer. I am probably still under the max with top/bottom insulation, clothes and all the stuff I put in those very handy saddlebags.
Oh please, for the love of God, drop the Blackbird XLC next! I've been dying to get my hands on it since I first joined here. I will trade favor for favor... wink, wink... nudge, nudge...
Was wondering why the 3 pics, all the same, were so terrible. Guess that's what happens when you doctor a pic by trying to take out the background, but obviously can't do that with what is seen through the net, LOL.
scope...and why is this not an Outdoors product as well as being listed in Ultralight? Its certainly not ultralight by most UL standards, though it is reasonably light for a full featured hammock, and especially a bridge hammock. I've owned this, it is certainly something that would be used either for backpacking or car camping.
