You can see the details of this program on our web site. We have a totla of 4 complete hammocks, under quilts, and tarps currently. We will look at adding several other hammocks, tarps, and quilts as the program evolves.

Couple of quick points...

1) All hammocks are washed after each use

2) Hope to add WBRR Bridge Hammock and Ambush UQ shortly

3) Nope, we will not be adding TQ anytime in the near future due to laundry service requirements and cost.

4) If you know or are a bonafide guide service / outfitter contact us if interested for a detailed outfitter program we are working on.

This is a good idea for people who want to try out quality gear or for members wanting to introduce others to hammock camping.

Excellent. Great program to get folks to try out a hammock or your gear.

Those are some of the reasons we are offering this program. Let's face it High Quality hammocks, quilts, and tarps are $$$. If you're new to hammocks the cost of some gear can be intimidating. So most folks start on the low end then migrate to the top shelf gear in time. Why not skip that process??? Now for a modest fee you can rent true cottage vendor gear, see if you like it, then make your decision form there.

Those that wonder about how UQs work over a pad do not need to drop $250-$300 to try it. They can rent it and try it before they buy it.

We'll be adding some 0* UQ as well later this season, we have folks all the time ask what temp to buy, they can only afford one UQ but plan on winter and summer camping making the decision difficult. Now they can buy the 20* or 40* UQ and rent the 0* UQ for that trip or two in winter...

Excellent concept, I'll pass the news along to some friends that are interested in making the transition to hanging.

For a total of $77 (plus shipping) you get three glorious nights in cottage vendor gear, hammock, underquilt, tarp..... Better than the RITZ..... and WAY LESS $$$...

Any thoughts of allowing those that use this sevice as a means of trying a quilt or hammock to be able to apply the rental fee towards a newly purchased one? Might be a added incentive.

Very true, and worth considering as we have done. We do not make the hammocks so it would be hard for us to offer a discount on that item. We also will be adding another hammock by a different vendor soon. Since we can't offer a discount on those item we have decided to leave the program stand as is for now. The rates are fairly modest and if it avoids the standard practice of working through several hammocks, insulations and tarps to find your fit it will save you money in the end.

Fair enough.
