I distinctly remember my first morning waking up in my hammock. My first thought was...wow...nothing aches. I didn't feel like I needed to shift around to relieve a sore spot or aching joints. I didn't budge. Amazing. Anyone else have this experience?

The first couple of nights I woke up with lower back pain then changed the angle slightly more shallow and also raised the foot end a bit higher than the head end. That did the trick and I sleep great now.

In a tent I wake up with all kinds of aches. Not so in the Blackbird.

That was the main reason I tried a hammock. To see if I could sleep better. No more sore shoulders, neck or hips.

Ditto to all the above!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wake up with no aches and feel refreshed. Swing your legs outs, plant your feet, stand up and away you go vs crawling out of a tent and trying to stand up and straighten your back. I have a Blackbird for outdoors and a Traveler for indoors. I know they are not for all, but they work! On my hammock site they are sometimes referred to as Bear Burritos, don’t believe it.

+ 1 except for the traveler.

That's been true with me from the first night on. When on the ground, it takes me a good half hour to get in the vertical position. I have to take ibuprofen just to get out of bed. In the hammock, I just drop out the bottom into my boots and head for the Jetboil to make coffee.

I sleep well in both, but notice that I sleep longer in a hammock. This makes me believe that I get an even better night's sleep in them.

Definitly feel better after a night in the hammock. I've gone to it ful time.

In a tent I toss and turn all night. In the Blackbird, I sleep like a baby (well, like a fat bald one that snores).

This thread sounds like a commercial with testamonials. Brandon from Warbonnet should have this link on his site. :)

Agreed. He has done excellent work. I also have his UQ, TQ and Tarps.

Maybe Adam should hit him up for a sponsor?

I've dealt with him on both of my purchases, and I second this.

I'm waiting right now on my second full set up. A 1.1 double with a MJ tarp. That's how much I like the 1.7 and SF tarp.

Some of us might need to go to HA. (Hammocks Annonymous) :)

yes.

I emailed withy Brandon last spring. He did not realize that his stuff was popping up all over the web. He was too busy and only checked HF.

It took me a couple of nights to get used to the hammock before I truly slept better than in a tent.
