Oh man! Love this. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Here is the original thread:
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/29560-Stretch-Side-Hammock

Lots of great info and ideas in there.

Nice! Hadn't seen it done that way. I've been using Shug's method of a single line of shock cord clove hitched to the guyline on both ends of the shock cord, but I really like this. Might have to try...

Right?!?!? That was the stipulation we put in when he said he would just ship it, NO USPS! haha I used it as I sat on the couch last night. Love it!

UQ was delivered to my Father in Law on the 7th! After much back and forth and him hmm and hawing about when we would get together for him to give it to me he decided to ship it UPS. It arrived today...

Nice! Haven't been able to set mine up yet. Would love some details on that tieout.

Knew others would chime in with some good ideas for you!

I'm on the Southside. 5 minutes from Pony Pasture.

Firstly, as a fellow Richmonder, welcome!

I don't think SilvrSurfr was trying to be rude. Was just pointing out the lengths some people go to to keep everything neat and tidy. This place is full...

I think the inquiry worked! UQ is out for delivery today! Being delivered to my father-in-law (its a gift from him), so now to figure out when we will get together so I can actually have it haha. But...

Thanks guys! Seems to be pretty evenly split so far with the small sample size. I was planning on going with the same type setup I will be using on the ridgeline and using a mini-ucr around the tree....

Just wondering how you guys guyout your doors on the Thunderfly? Do you go to the same tree as the ridgeline or do you go to the ground with a stake? Or is that tree distance dependent?

Well, my hammock is out for delivery today after passing through the same facility it seems my UQ is stuck in. I have opened an inquiry into the UQ.

Edit - just took delivery of the hammock!
...

Thanks Harry. I've started an inquiry. I know what they will say, but hopefully it'll cause some movement. The hammock has moved to the local post office and is due to deliver tomorrow, so things are...

Ordered an Incubator from HammockGear. Shipped on Dec. 15, sat in Pre-shipment for a week. Then all of a sudden on the 22nd it shows up at the local destination facility. "In Transit" ever since,...

A week later and still no movement. At this rate I'll be lucky to get it in time for my birthday on the 20th. And on top of it, my hammock from Dutch just hit the same link in the chain. Hopefully...

Got some Christmas cash so ordered a Double Layer Dutch Netless (dark olive/dark olive) and a Warbonnet Thunderfly (evergreen). Father in law ordered me an HG Incubator (dark olive/black) that is...

Welp, reached the Regional Destination Facility Distribution Center on the 22nd. Been "In transit" ever since, with the last update being the 26th. It is so close!

We have movement! Went from pre-shipment to being at the local distribution center! So now we wait to see when delivery happens.

What he said. We know it isn't HG's fault at all. UQ was shipped well within the expected time frame. All up to USPS. It will get here when it gets here. Thanks again for the great service!

Good ol USPS. A friend ordered their incubator 3 days after me, it shipped the day after mine. Theirs is on track to be delivered Tuesday, while mine is stuck in pre-shipment (we're 15 minutes...

Evergreen Thunder fly ordered! Still need to get those samples pics.

My Incubator has shipped! Cannot wait!

I received the samples the other day and it confirmed my initial thoughts. Will be getting an Evergreen Thunderfly! I will try to get some pics and post for future searches, but they are just small...

Perfect, thanks for that! Can't see myself needing anything more than that for a while.

Oh man, that looks awesome, but definitely overkill for my current camping needs.



Rusty, thanks for this suggestion. I kind of wrote it off earlier, but the more I think about it and look into...

Have some fabric samples on the way from Warbonnet! Wanna see the Dark Foliage green, Evergeen and Olive Brown in person.

Thanks for all the replies guys!



For this one I definitely want full doors. Maybe down the line I will check out either the Mini or Thunderfly. A buddy of mine is getting into hammock camping...

So I am in the market for a new tarp. I previously had a Dutch Xenon Rectangle tarp and really liked it (it was stolen, along with all of our hammock gear). I only ever pitched it in the standard A...

Can I ask when you ordered?? Anxiously awaiting this email for mine as well! Ordered November 13 with a 5 week lead time. So still expecting a couple more weeks.

No problem. Thanks Dutch!

He has the old style netless with no D rings, so I was looking to get the clip on peak shelf.

I have the newer version with them, so I could get the Chameleon peak shelf. We both have ridgelines.

Is this no longer offered? Was gonna get one for a friend with the old style netless.

Will the regular/Chameleon version work with the newer netless hammocks?

Thanks! Worth a shot.

Edit....Success! Thanks again Harry!

Dang just ordered my Incubator (first UQ!) on Friday. Did point a friend to the Incubator and he ordered today to take advantage of the sale, though.

Same here! No sewing machine for me, so I came up with a fix using what I had.

I ran into this issue too with my Dutch 2 piece snake skins. I did something similar to Shug, but instead of adding another grosgrain channel, I just used Dutch's #16 splicing needle and some 1/16"...

Awesome! Thanks. Saved for later!

Hahaha, if you find it, please post it. Have not seen that one!

Thanks for posting the measurements! Definitely helps visualize it.

That is the unzipped width. And yes, I was going to use 1/16 shock cord. I'll bump it to 12 per side. Thanks!
...

Ok...another question! How many nettles would you recommend for a 68" wide sleeping bag? In other words, how far apart should the snaps be? If I do 8 nettles, that is 8.5" between them. Is that too...

Thanks guys! Now off to order my supplies!

Man....you just saved me some time and effort. I was thinking I couldn't do it like you have because it would interfere with the zipper, but to use it like a normal sleeping bag I would have to...

I want to try and convert my sleeping bag into an UQ like in this thread:

However, I want...

Thanks everyone for the comments/suggestions. I placed my order last night. I splurged and got the tarp too. I decided not to do whoopie slings and make my own UCRs. Will also make my own split...

Okay, first off, thank you everyone for your input! After emailing Dutchware, they have assured me that the Hexon 1.7 will be plenty. Think I'm going to try out a Marlin Spike Hitch and Whoopie...

Thanks! I will check them out. Hadn't heard of either of those.

Yep, my next step is searching CPAP hammock camping!



I was afraid of that...So much for a $30 hammock! haha



My thoughts exactly.

Hello everyone! Brand new hanger here. My family and I enjoy tent camping and ended up with a $100 REI gift card. Not knowing what to use it for, my wife suggested a hammock. After perusing the REI...
