    Cave Creek Hammock- Pet Palace- NEW PRODUCT- VIDEO REVIEW

    I have been working with Rick from Cave Creek Hammock for the past few months on this new net design to allow a more comfortable camping/backpacking experience for me and my dog.

    Rick brought the design together beautifully! He is a skilled designer and craftsman.

    This setup allows your dog to lay beneath you, not tied up, bugs remain off of both of you, no critters sneaking around, keeps your gear secured and dry, adds a clean area to change and sort gear. Can't get any better. I recommend the custom tarp net combo to take advantage of the side pulls on the net.

    Bad conditions for my video review, but I did it anyways. Cold, snowing, and too close to dark. I added some pictures at the end of this post to aid in seeing how it looks under the tarp in storm mode.

    Here is the video review: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...BJ-68qjxO-ftgA

    Disclaimers:
    1. I am in no way compensated for this product review. I do not work for Cave Creek. This is a collaboration between Rick’s amazing designing and creation skill sets and my semi-original idea for this net system.

    2. Sorry for some of the rough audio spots. I need to use a different mount for the camera as every time I switch hands it creates an awful vibration on the audio.

    3. It was starting to get dark and cold- my camera batteries were dying. I could not film a proper conclusion or shot from inside the hammock when the tarp was in storm mode. I will do another video of that when I have a nice sunny say so you can actually see on the inside of the tarp.

    Ask any questions below on the youtube comments or on hammock forums, I will answer timely, I promise.

    If you would like to see something on video specifically, let me know. I would be happy to get into detail on something specific. Again, I will do a video from inside with the tarp in storm more to show the space of the netting on the side. I will post pictures I took of this on the hammock forums as well.

    Great job on the video! Looks like a good solution for the dog. How much does the netting rig weigh?

    Love my tarp as well.

    I would recommend chatting with rick about ordering the netting and sending him your tarp to adding inside tie outs if at all possible!

    Im telling you straight up, the best thing about this is the space you get with the pull puts.

    Im sending mine back to get pull puts on the other side!

    We are also coming up with a new netting cover that will make this like a cocoon sleep system for winter.

    Depending on the size of the dog, they could easily carry the pet palace in a pet pack. Win Win!

    Yes you could!! I mean yes "they" could! EVen if you strap it to the top. What I do is leave my hammock and the Pet Palace in one stuff sack. Can easily be strapped onto the doggy backpack or inside depending on the pack. I worry about wetness and being scratched as my boy like to sprint through the wood and rub on stuff, he also only has the smaller Ruffwear pack which only has little water/food pockets.

    I have read that too much weight really really wears on dogs joints and can cause issues later so I don't add more than 5 pounds for him in his pack. So that is food, water and that is it. But he is kind of a sensitive dude and larger dogs can handle much more.
