Another vote for TacBlades videos. I learned a lot from him. I use one of those self healing mats made for sewing. They have measurements on them that are very helpful. A rotary cutter works great on...

I use a split ridgeline with Dutch Stingerz that stay attached to each end. I've never had an issue getting centering right, because it's always the Stingerz are always the same distance in relation...

I've tried all kinds of tools that others have used here or on YouTube. I don't like loop turners because they always seem to snag. I have two embroidery needles sized for Zing It and 1/8 Amsteel to...

Here's the tutorial I've followed before. I've replaced all the CL on my hammocks with these.

I'm very happy with my 11' Cuben Palace, and have always achieved a taught pitch when using it in variations of the A-frame shape. I have not tried to use it for other purposes than hanging a...

I do as SilvrSurfr does, keeping the bugnet attached and packing it up with the hammock.

I find it slightly annoying to install and remove the UQ inside the bugnet. I've upgraded to a Chameleon...

That's pretty awesome! Yup, that would fit the bill, is it a custom job?

Edit: I guess the title of the clip makes it obvious...

Dutch, I think a lot of us would love an all-condition tarp designed to work with Chameleons hung side by side. I have the same problem as people above trying to make my HG Cuben Palace work in this...

You may want to look into a sleep study to determine if you have obstructive sleep apnea, like many of us snorers do. I need a CPAP regardless of where I sleep, but I've learned to make it work very...

Ha!

Sounds like a blast, welcome!

I believe Dutchware's Chameleon is a good comparison. My wife and I each have one. I think I've only slept in a bed twice this month, all other nights in the Chameleon. I have both the integrated...

I've bought several Dutchware Netless hammocks for my family that are awesome. I plan to eventually get everyone one. (My wife and I use Dutch Chameleons). Dutch will have those shipped within a day...

I've spent the last 20 years flying around the world in C-130's. I started hanging a hammock above the cargo ramp as soon as we reached altitude. After fighting freezing butt syndrome for years, my...

I started with ti loop aliens on 3" CL of Zing it, which work great, but at $9 each, get spendy! I switched to hook worms on shock cord loops, but didn't like them quite as much. I'm currently using...

Thanks for the replies so far. I have a new chameleon and am using one of the peak shelves to store my machine right now, but my normal 6' hose is a pain to deal with.

If I can find the right...

I've got the PR Dreamstation and Resmed Swift FX mask. Both have a male 19mm (I think that's the diameter) connector. Thanks for the offer!

I am dialing in my CPAP setup for car camping. I recently purchased a goal zero portable power station for an unrelated purpose, but found it powers my CPAP nicely. I think it would be ideal to...

I love Whoopie Hooks and have them on all my hammocks. I just purchased two pairs of Beatles to try, and am hanging on them for my second night now.

I find them just as easy as Whoopies to use...

Also, before getting into my hammock, I drape the hammock sides over the UQ sides to make sure my butt lands inside while getting...

I started out with a Dutch Netless hammock and Hammock Gear UQ too. I also ordered the quilt hooks, both plastic clip on, and aluminum sew on (though I never had the skill or the guts to try and...

Kat contacted me first thing this morning and worked everything out. Sounds like her site had some technical difficulties and she wasn't aware of my order.

She was apologetic, offered to make me...

Thank you!

Thanks for the replies. I had a note on my order explaining that the skins were for a HG Cuben Palace and asking if the standard skins would be large enough. Maybe it's just taking longer due to...

I remember that notice being there last year. I was going to order a hat from her at the time too. The snake skins ordered back then came promptly though.

I placed an order for another set of snake skins for a new tarp about a month ago. My credit card was charged, but I haven't heard back from her or received my order. I sent a message on her...

That's a Dutch Tarp Worm. Check it out on dutchwaregear.com.

Just received my Dutch Winter Sock and tried it out today. Will work great as a quilt protector and keep me a few degrees warmer this season.

+1 These are great!

I use Stingerz on both ends. Centering the tarp is easy, because I know that each Stinger ends up about 6" from the hammock continuous loop. So I attach the first stinger, tie it off about 6" from...

No. You would need to bolt into steel, which would require substantial repair work to the drywall.

If your dorm room isn't framed with 2x4 or 2x6 walls, you probably won't be able to easily mount d-rings in a way you can repair the damage when it's time to move out. Good luck, maybe someone else...

No fasteners are going to enable drywall alone to support your weight! It's imperative that you find the center of the 2x4 stud behind the drywall to mount your d-rings.

I'll take the hook worms.

I was recently confused about this too. I had to tighten up my primary suspension by untying the knot at the foot end, and taking about a foot of slack out of the shock cord. It wasn't intuitive to...

Thank you for this link! I sure wish this info was posted on HG's website for easy reference. Along with Shug's videos and replies here, I was able to get it dialed in, at least I think so, still...

Adam, this is really good information that I wish I had found when I first purchased my UQ. Please consider posting it to your website so we can easily find detailed instructions. Thanks!

I thought about that last week, and ordered one of Dutch's winter socks. Assuming those drones he uses make it to Alaska ok, it should be waiting for me when I return!

Last night made 9 consecutive nights testing out my gear. Night time temperatures ranged from the mid 20's to high 40's. There were several nights of heavy rain, clear skies with a showing of...

I bought large spools of Amsteel 7/64 and Zing It before I learned to splice. I followed Derek Hanson's advice to use a doubled over strand of CAT 5 cable for both. I have short and long pieces...

I use end tie outs instead of a CRL as well. Dutch Stingerz attached to both ends, spliced to Zing It. It's quick and easy to get a taught and centered tarp this way.

Thanks Dutch, I think that helps make things even more clear for dunderheads such as myself!

To bring things back around, in the end, it was my improper rigging of the tree hugger that caused the strap to fail. After being set straight from the helpful responses here, I have complete...
