Welcome! Thanks for keeping it interesting :)
Is there a specific reason the new hooks have only one hole?
I woke up to a tree falling right next to my hammock, thankfully not onto it. We were experiencing some winter weather and i guess it was too much for a nearby dead tree. I wasn't hasty when...
I use a the dutch continuous ridgeline with the wasp and have a V on both ends. I get a V on the hook side by making a marlin spike hitch with the hook. You can substitute the wasp for your...
A friend of mine told me about this. I like that you can search the catalog of existing items. I have added a lot of my collection to their library and will give this a shot.
This site looks...
Welcome! Germany is a beautiful country.
If I owned an outdoor outfitter store/website in the EU I would stick up on Dutchware and pre-made warbonnet hammocks .... and probably items from most...
Very cool! This looks like a good candidate for some glowing/reflective zipper pulls...maybe even one of those niteize zipper lights.
I've had the same thoughts about items you're intimately close with. Since you have them already I guess your choices now are sell or wash, I'd look into washing the items you already have.
I...
This has been my experience as well. I made a soft shackle out of the red zing-it and it wasn't red by the time I finished. I made a batch of 30 yellow ones and my fingers were stained nicely...
You're Canadian, that is diversity. Also, you spelled color 'colour' so that's an extra dose of diversity!
I've used the Tato pullout son my Clark vertex tarp, only a couple of times but you would never know where they were. As mentioned above there is a soft rubber o-ring that protects the tarp fabric.
I use the tato door hooks and just link the tie outs on the doors together either inside or outside of the tarp. Inside would make sure nothing is in the way for your pullouts. The hooks make it...
Awesome! If you don't mind sharing, where did you put in and take out? I've taken canoes/kayaks on rivers in PA but never locally on the Potomac. Most of my camping around NoVA is off of the C&O...
On my last backpacking adventure I started to feel the woes of a not-so-light pack. I've since been looking for ways to trim the fat. I have been using the MSR groundhog stakes but picked up some...
Are you referring to a structural ridgeline for your hammock, or a ridgeline for your tarp to hang from? If you don't need a continuous ridgeline you can shed some grams by using Dutch's tarp flyz...
St. Petersburg, Florida. There is a documentary about it actually. We will be nomadic people, homeless doesn't apply. Hammock gypsies.
I made extension loops for my HG UQ to use on my WBB xlc. People say they don't have an issue but I think the quilt hangs more comfortably this way.
I'm going to block this domain at my router. This whole forum is a conspiracy to make me poor...when you see a homeless man in DC hanging in a warbonnet hammock please stop by to say hi.
I'll take it
I have an incubator and a phoenix.
were you using the WB underquilt in that photo? I'm trying to determine if it will work with my existing HG UQs.

I don't get out often enough to not constantly tune my setup. Plus, the addiction is real and there is always something new for me to play with. Rain changes things.
I need a subscription to Dutchware.
combine that with this piece of hammock gear and your kid is just a jetboil away from being self sufficient ... https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?99493-Pee-in-your-hammock
I'm also confused about the conduit pipe. I see how it is used in the video but I don't see how it is necessary. Is has to be structural right? I'd be on-board for one of these, it would be great...
This is what I thought the 30 degree rule was about. The idea is that we are not subjecting our hammock suspension and hardware to forces outside of their ratings. Use a structural ridgeline to...
I've got a couple of Exped pillows, one for me and one for whichever lucky camper gets it first. They are very light and pack down to the size of one of those tiny coke cans. A friend has the...
You should be fine without a pad if you're using an underquilt. You can combine the two to add extra protection against cold air but the rating for the underquilt should be an accurate estimate of a...
I have found, at least with my Vertex tarp, that if I fold it neatly it packs very small. Stuffing the tarp into a sack will take up the entire volume of the sack until it is compressed by other...
I use a small bishop bag for my tarps and usually just stuff everything into it. When I take my stakes up I wrap each guy line and tie them off for neatness. Occasionally I will take the tarp off...
I don't have photos of the suspension (it is a shame that Clark doesn't do a better job with photos/videos of their products). Essentially the vertex hangs as two attached hammocks. At the head end...
I agree, the best resale value would definitely be to sell the card, maybe even on ebay, at a discounted price...at $350-400 you will be losing a lot less of the value than trying to resell their...
Sticky this!! Much needed post, thanks for contributing!
You've done your reading and have made the right choices! I've spent the past 12 months purchasing and testing a few different setups. I've settled on a Warbonnet BB XLC and I already want to get...
Whooooooo buddy that pack looks ultralight.
You do need them. But you also need to buy everything else Dutch sells too.
...and unfortunately it isn't always cheap. I own a DN, the guardian bug net, the profly, and the housefly and I agree with dfscott. You can't get a warbonnet via amazon prime unfortunately. For...
I have a CRL with a dogbone on one end and it is an easy way up get a nice "V" in your ridge line for your suspension to go through. I picked that one up from whoopieslings.com
Well you just sold me on this product, I hadn't seen that before! Grabbing their bear bag while I'm at it. Thanks for the reference!
It should come with lines for the tarp guy outs and bugnet ridge line but take the money you saved and give it to Dutch at dutchwaregear.com so you can have a proper ridge line and suspension setup....
i use dutch buckles on mine. For me the difficult part is finding three trees that will form the correct angle ... I find myself switching to the inside or outside of a tree to improve the angle of...
I placed an order on 8/5 that shipped on 8/29.
surgical tubing for tensioners too!
The link to the G-Clip doesn't seem to be working
I vote hammockgear.com ... why does everyone above choose UGQ over HG?
ENO sells an under-sling that is basically a mini-hammock to hang under your full sized one to hold your pack and things like that. I've recently made a set of whoopie slings for mine out of zing-it...
Just saw this thread ... missed the sale
I'm thinking about making an extra long ridgeline to make this a one-piece setup. If the ridgeline starts at the two-tree end maybe a figure 8 around both trees will center the ridgeline. I'm still...
Put me next in line if everyone else backs out. I'll take the BB.
