First post in the hang forum. Just thought I would share my order I have placed. Just ordered a dream hammock thunderbird 11'x60". To go with it I ordered a underground quilts Winter Dream 1.1 silnylon tarp. It will be about 4 to 5 weeks before taking delivery. I can't wait for the first hang in the new set up.

You're going to love your new hammock. Papa Smurf does exquisite work and the hammock your ordering is deluxe in every way. Congratulations.

I have a Darien UL and love it. Great products and great service from Dream Hammocks.

I have been look at the TB and the warbonnet XLC for about 3 months now trying to decide on which one to get. I eventual decided to go with the TB because of all the options he offers. I am not saying I won't end up with a XLC at some point, but that will be later on. And of course the bridge hammocks look interesting too. Oh man at some point I know the talk with the wife is coming why we need 7 hammock/tarp set ups for our 4 person family.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of hanging. Happy New Year!

I think you will find an 11' hammock to be very comfortable. The TB gives you plenty of room for a flat diagonal lay.

I have been hanging for about a year and a half in a ENO double nest. It's not a bad starter hammock just ready for a custom rig. The ENO will be seeing double duty as my oldest boys and my wife's rig. I also have a Grand Trunk single that the wife will be using if we can find the right trees to setup both the GT and the TB under the Winter Dream. Hammocks, Tarp, and under quilts are taken care of, now just need top quilts and we are set. Now if I can just talk the wife into a 18.5 Souris River we will be good to go!

Ditto what HappyHuskies says. Papa Smurf makes a great hammock.

Pic of the new Thunderbird in the wild! Was able to set it up today and take about a 1.5 hr nap while the kids played in the snow. So far, I love it!!!
