By fraying the surface you increase gripping surface and thus friction, that is the whole idea. Friction surface is probably a better term. Compare to common practice in painting, work over a coat of...

Unfortunately I can only open the last link, but from what I see this concerns weight ratings of 600ibs and less, there are arguments of distrust (imagination, not physics) based on that - would...

Amsteel has nominal rating of 1400lbs, that is 40% more than 2mm cord referred which is substantial. 14lbs is also 40% more than 10lbs which is also substantial. But there is nothing here that argues...

Based on what?

And we are dying to hear the first...

At least you don't claim I am trying to convince any one else. I am not sure I have convinced myself though, further than 'I am convinced that facts has to be questioned in order to learn something...

Seven monkeys change things. Like you would not hang your UL fragile hammock with even one monkey around. Variables we can control for we do control for, and that you have done.


And nothing...

Good point. I fondle my part of the elephant and ask 'this is what I find - why is it like this?'
It might be what I find is right, it might not, but none the less I ask 'why is it so?' I have to...

It is unfortunate you see it that way. I am merely questioning rules that I don't find reasonable explanation to. Be that sound or not. But blindly accepting a stated fact is seldom sound, whatever...

It is quite right w angles and forces. Theoretically you can hang the suspensions from right above your head in a beam or the like closing in on the 2000lb, on top of that the breaking weight of...

... - is there any?
Whoopies and whatnot for suspensions etc is found in abundance when looking through what vendors offer, even 1/8” thickness. Now, I am looking into making suspension etc myself,...

Looks good! Seems to fit my 6'1" 180lb, slightly wider shoulders as well. Will def take a look at it. Thx!

Good call @soul embrace! Will definitely go through reviews/post questions on that point. Buying cheap can be expensive, thanks for the reminder.

Actually have that one in my sight, just need a decent bugnet now.

Also looking at this. Not proper 11' but 10.4, as a compensation it is 79" wide which might cover enough of the missing length to...

I was actually aiming for a Trail Lair until I posted this

The price goes up with quite the basic config of the streamliner (but it has interesting design features!), the Starter is a cheaper...

Thanks, confirms my suspicions.

Hi!

Looking for an entry level hammock to dial in future 'investments' with. Found Hanging High Hammocks REM Hammock that seems reasonable at a first glance. I am 6'1" so 11' seems like a good...

After reading this post I decided to take a moment and gain momentum by using a stepping stone (cheap 'Amazon' 11' entry model or similar). Unfortunately I realized this juuust too late as DW had a...

500-600 nights! My wife would kill me :lol:

Checking weight difference for 1.2 and 1.6 on a regular 11’ Chameleon: 2,5oz ish, def worth it.

And wide design to lower shoulder squeeze, smart. I...

Good point. I'm going single layer due to weight but maybe compensate w Hexon 1.6 rather than 1.2 to hold back on the 'give'?
I am one of those who love to sleep on a 2' bench with a thin but sturdy...

@Tpatter I am ever grateful for your generous offer, unfortunately I have to decline. Right now I am in Europe, later on I will (probably as of right now) be on the east coast (Washington, but the...

You might just have sold a Lair for Jared.

Thank you gentlemen for your effort so far (any gentleladies I missed?) Many a wise thought.

Below I will respond (ish) to your thoughts in a non-logical order, hopefully you can find more to...

Hi y'all!

So, I have trawled through threads, pros and consed the features (or bugs?), wrung myself inside out and then back again w analysis paralysis ending up with the choices of DW Chameleon...

This post is the closest to a cover applied directly on the tq I have found on this forum so far. Though, I guess it is absorbent and even 'fluffy' thus having qualities to catch condensation, much...

Make sense, you take the by far largest source of humidity out of the game, no cover but still.
And when you sleep w no cover wse, except for the quilt, is condensation bothering you, any traces on...

[Removed: forgot to quote]

Have seen Shugs frost bib (kiss, beautiful solution), have not seen him sleeping with his head outside a cover hanging or not hanging on the ridge line. (Now, that could be from me not looking...

That might be. But what I am getting at is that there are over ridge line hanging covers all over the place, with more or less venting and people have problem with snow/slobber in them. Has anyone...

Thing is, when I sleep in a sleeping bag protector it is more humid, yes, but humidity is coming out of the top panel that I can't blame my breath for. Close to my mouth is more condensation/frost...

Humidity comes from your back, passes the hammock, then comes to the uq and protector, that vents or? Of course more goes upwards due to physics but get another uqp, pull it over yourself, let it...

I have never used aluminium covered plastics either but I guess they are just as breathing as a mylar bag = not. I am talking waterproof tarp, breathing tqp.

Or, one can argue that a cover hanging UNDER the ridge line with the head end detached in such a way that the cover covers but no-one is breathing in there and there is a vent in the foot end. One...

I have slept in a sleeping bag protector', sure, my body emanates humidity, but that does not disappear because I have a hammock cover? (think a big sleeping bag protector you also breath into)
Now,...

Hi, long time lurker about to take the leap of faith into the hammock - and here comes my first post.

Why no Top Quilt Protector?
Temperature, humidity, wind, metabolism, even the angle of breath...
