Best Hammock for Backpacking | Warbonnet Outdoors

[@fishntools]

Got mine 5 yrs ago and never looked back! Plenty of use with NO failures yet.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Mine only has about two years on it, but somewhere around 30-35 hangs and it’s still looking good. Thanks for tuning in!

[@lolobeans]

Love my Blackbird! Great tip for new hammockers about being careful not to sit on the UQ! I've never done it but I could see it happening easily.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

I've actually done in once in the dark a long time ago. It's not pleasant, I fell to the ground QUICK and I can assure you it doesn't feel good. Luckily, I didn't tear anything on the underquilt.

Just got my setup from warbonnet for some winter motorcycle camping trips. Pretty excited to learn the setup and hopefully love the gear.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Been using mine for almost four years, still going strong. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

[@daveferrell1137]

Great evaluation! I'm a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC owner and the WBBB is the best hammock system I've come across. Stay Strong and Hammock On!

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

I probably have 50-60 nights in it at this point, still love it. Thanks for watching!

Great video as always travis.

[@toninemeth8133]

Very nice video with a lot of great info you keep your communication done very well keep up the good work and enjoy your time outdoors.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Thanks

[@uberdan2836]

Nice video. I LOVE my blackbird xlc. But what you might want to mention with the gear shelf.... is.. if you take off the bug net, you loose the shelf.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

After I shoot videos I always think of things that I forgot to mention lol. Probably because I don’t have a script, I just wing it on the fly because it feels more natural to record that way. That’s a great point though! I’ve personally never taken the bug net off so it isn’t something that occurred to me.

[@ericj810]

I ask santa for the original blackbird single layer this year for Christmas. Im not super heavy ( 170 pounds @ 5-10 height ) so keeping the pack weight down is a goal. I hear its very very comfortable. Also i hear the wooki uq is super warm. Nice looking top quilt, never seen that b4!

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

It’s an awesome hammock, you won’t be disappointed. Warbonnet makes great quilts too!

[@ericj810]

@@Bacon_N_Backpacking Was that a single layer original blackbird in the video? Ya the quilts I hear are the best money can buy. In the smoky mountains its hot at night and very humid. But in fall its ice cold. Would want those quilts! A sleeping pad is something I avoid in a hammok, i never could dial one in correctly. Even in a double layer.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Yeah it’s a single layer. WB quilts are a little heavier than some other companies but IMO they’re also 100% true to their rating. I slept in my 40F down to 35F in just underwear and a tshirt and never got cold. Great quilts.

[@toesockoutdoors3627]

I’ve used the Warbonnet XLC for years with minimal problems; my only complaint is that they should add pack hooks so that the UQ stays in place. I have a HG UQ and I’ve rigged up a system with shockcord and carabiners to keep it in place. That said, the Warbonnet is better than my old ENO

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

I’m a pretty big fan. Love all their products so far.

[@stevechance4422]

The wookie underquilt was made for that hammock. You wouldn't have those issues with it.

[@lolobeans]

I have this issue too at times. Kind of wish I'd gone with the Wookie. But I've figured out a couple things that make it work.

[@RobertRussell-ed1xy]

I heard beer shelf…I’m sticking with that.

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

lol, close enough!

[@Lucitt13]

I live in south west Ohio. Do you think one of their 20 degree under quilt would be warm enough for this area?

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

If you plan on camping deep into winter, probably not. I have found the 20F quilts take me down to right around 20F comfort. That’s usually with a base layer and a light mid layer on. I’m also a very hot sleeper. If you wanted to hang in the coldest parts of winter I’d recommend a 0F for that and/or put down a thin pad in the hammock.

[@TheFbiFilesRepeat]

Id like to see a video how to easily pack it back together

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Throw quilts in pack, put hammock in stuff sack and throw in pack lol

[@freethinker5225]

I kinda want an underquilt that has baffles up and over the sides of the hammock to completely block wind so I can lay in whatever position is comfortable. Any suggestions?

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

I’ve never had an issue with asymmetrical UQ’s like the Wooki. Sometimes I side sleep with it. A UQ protector would do the same job at less weight as far as blocking wind. I’ve only used mine once but at 4.5 oz it’s likely lighter than a “taco” UQ and a lot less money too.

[@johnpeters6147]

What's the name of the color for the underquilt and hammock?

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

OD Green

[@BakerBaker1-9]

Nice review - I'm looking for an underquilt and tarp - for my setup - you had me at bacon 🥓 sub left keep safe

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Thanks for the sub buddy appreciate it!

[@Utubeisazzho]

Get the Wookiee

[@Ohios1Cheesehead]

I've got a custom diamondback in my cart... Waiting for any type of promo/sale... I cannot physically pay full price lol

[@Bacon_N_Backpacking]

Yeah they’re pricey, but they’re great quilts. They usually run 10-15% sales around holidays. Alternatively, Hammock Gear makes good quilts for less. I don’t think they’re quite as good as Warbonnet but probably the best deal for the price.
