Nice Video Bammacker! I really liked your your hiking sequences. Mount Rogers is one of my favorite areas. Lots of people though!

I went through the same process you are going through. (Before the Chameleon was even an option!) I ended up deciding on the Warbonnet XLC. I wanted a winter top cover and I ended up deciding to...

"You are only a beginner once..." Well said... I agree with Shug. I toss and turn in a bed but lie rather still in a hammock and sleep just as well. I also started with a Blackbird XLC and I...

Nice job guys! I was going to make a similar video but you beat me to it! I have both as well and was able to bring both on a recent four night trip and split time between the two. On this past trip...

Do it! Muahaha

Thanks for sharing Schillke! I have a 1.0 and I've kicked around the idea of picking up a 1.6 as well. If I'm not in the Chameleon I'm generally using a DIY HyperD 1.6 hammock. I have found that for...

I made a review video of the Dutchware Chameleon not long after I received it.

Like Kitsapcowboy, I received some negative feedback because of the overwhelmingly...

I spent the weekend in the gorge as well. I agree with you that it was surprisingly quiet!! We got in late Friday evening and car camped between the conley cove trailhead and the pinch in trailhead....

I wonder if it would make sense for you to install fixed length dog bones made of amsteel (1-2ft. in length) on each end of the hammocks so you have flexibility later on for someone to string up...

Good point.. I still have a set of my warbonnet cinch's with the grey continuous loops lying around. Not sure if I'll ever use them because they're so heavy, but they're there and ready to go in a...

Not yet... June I believe. The beetles are nice, probably worth the wait, however, do to the fact that they don't get added into the continuous loops you can always get them later and go with...

As TrailSlug said, you won't find a better deal (or maybe hammock...) right now than the Warbonnet XLC. (Everyone one should have one in their arsenal IMO :lol:)

Thanks!

Does anyone know what kind of cordage Dutch used for the Chameleon Ridgeline?

Rrrriiiiggghhhhhttttt.... :):)

You might find this thread helpful... I believe I've seen others in the past as well. Some digging through HF might provide some inspiration!

Thanks kitsapcowboy! That means a lot. It took a lot for me to walk a way and re-approach it fresh. I probably spent 4 hours hemming, then pulling hems out, hemming, pulling hems out... With some...

I use the Dyneema/Polypro straps almost exclusively now and I have noticed them slip here and there. (Particularly with the cheaper cinch buckles) I have not really noticed them slip with the beetle...

I want to thank everyone who commented and provided me input. I stepped away from the tarp for a bit and came back fresh with renewed energy... I ended up using a number of suggestions from this...

I won't disagree! I had to wrestle it a bit because after it passed through the needle the fabric continually pulled to the left (even with the fabric that had already passed through weighted down to...

UPDATE: Ok, so here's the deal: When I stretch the sides out all the twists disappear. So when the tarp is up and taught, they shouldn't be visible. Is it possible my stitch width / length is off?

You never know... Might be the very thing keeping me up. :)

Boulderman, I used your advice on one of the sides and it did help to keep the folds consistent throughout, however, it still had twisting going on throughout.



Jellyfish, I actually watched...

Let me start by saying I had NO IDEA how hard it would be to do nice rolled hems on my tarps cat cuts.... I'm in the process of making my firs tarp and I figured the outer hem would be the easiest...

I know Dutch from Dutchwaregear.com hiked it with a hammock... Recently I was talking with my aunt who had just finished thru hiking the AT and she told me that by the end it was exclusively tent...

Hello and welcome from North Carolina!

It's awesome to see Dutch supporting this endeavor! Not surprising. Just awesome. I do really like the peak shelf myself. I used it this past weekend at a music festival to hide my under quilt and...

Your hammock looks great! I want to do a bridge eventually. I've gotta cool it on the hammock gear for a little bit! :)

Nice work!

That's unfortunate! I hope everyone is OK.

I prefer a single quilt suited for the temperatures I'm using it in. I would be worried a little bit about separate layers shifting on me. Sometimes I'll put a jacket over part of me and I'll wake up...

You'll love it! (Worth the wait...) I actually slept in mine last night and had an awesome night of sleep. Have you decided on fabric weight and color yet?

Another beauty Kitsapcowboy! I haven't yet made a hammock with an integrated bugnet. (and to be completely honest, I haven't looked into it a great deal YET) I'm curious as to how difficult it is to...

At first I found I was just afraid to really pull it for fear that it may rip. Make sure your not pulling it in line or parallel to the zipper and hang on just behind it as you pull it forward. It...

Mountain Wanderer, nice job! This was the first video of yours that I've seen and i must say I appreciated the production quality. The video moved along nicely! It looks like you and the pup had a...

No idea how long it will take for your hammock to arrive but I would suggest getting some sort of insulation for the bottom of your hammock. Most will suggest an underquilt, and while I agree that...

Thanks TrailSlug! 58" Wide. I started working on it Monday after work and recorded the video on Thursday after work so maybe 3-4 hours including the stuff sac?



Thanks WhollyHamaca! The...

I recently purchased four yards of the Paisley 1 Poly box ripstop by Ripstopbytheroll and made a hammock out of it. I had never used the poly box ripstop before (or the Outdoor INK ripstop) so I...

I usually use a rubber band or two and end up losing at least one of them along the way. This is a great solution! Thanks for sharing!

Nice Job Skater! You're next step is to make a hammock. I think you will find that it is not much more difficult than the stuff sack you made. (Just a few longer runs of thread!) Rolled edges take a...

Thanks for watching DrSolarMolar! Eventually I want to try out the Hexon 1.6 and 2.4 versions. Since you will be able to buy the pieces individually in June I suppose I could always pick up another!...

Thanks for watching! On Dutchwaregear.com they list the start of June.

Thanks for looking Kitsapcowboy! Yours is a mighty fine looking Chameleon as well! I like the multicam top cover you have on yours... I was able to get a DL Warbonnet XLC in that same multicam before...

Welcome and glad you enjoyed it! It's a mighty fine hammock.

After spending some time with the Chameleon Hammock by Dutchware, I thought I would try my hand at a gear review video. (First ever so go easy on me!) I was backer number 95 so I've had it a little...

Not exactly in the wild but this picture was taken on my back porch just after my first night sleeping in it! I chose the Woodland Camo topcover to compliment the forest green hammock body...

Any chance you are going to allow customers to pick up product directly from the new shop? It always feels weird ordering stuff through the mail when your right down the road! :)

I'm not sure that the answer should be stated publicly... ;)

Thanks Carwldaddy! Now what would that favorite place be?!?
