Derek, To convert to whoopie slings would you go continuous loop, carabiner, slings, marlin spike? Also the structural ridgeline is okay to hook to the gear loops? It is strong enough?

In reply to Kerri. The R-value will vary in a hammock due to convection. I'd get an insulated pad.

Hi Derek – nice review! I’m looking to use this hammock with a large rectangular Sea to Summit Comfort Plus pad. I don’t own an underquilt and although I’m a pretty warm sleeper I’ve found my WB Blackbird pretty cold in winter. Although it normally only ever gets to about 0C (32 F) or marginally lower, I was wondering whether you’d suggest I purchase the normal Comfort Plus (R=2.5) or go for the insulated version with an R value of 5? I’d really appreciate your advice as I really have no clue what the difference in R value translates to in the real world 🙂

Thanks, Derek! We are looking to try hammocks for the first time, and this looks like a good way to use our pads instead of having to buy underquilts, which are fairly pricey!

In reply to Mike Gartman. It will be fine. The ones that won't work are the Klymit Inertia pads.

Do you think an insulated Klymit V pad would work ok? My wife is concerned that the built in grooves in the pad would render It ineffective up in the air like this. I am thinking it would work fine.
