Welcome from South Jersey!

On my hammock, the ridge line is just over an eighth of an inch in diameter and is just looped over the continuous loops at each end. It's purely there to make sure the spacing between the head end...
Welcome from New Jersey.
I have a 10 degree UQ that I used year round, too. Venting works well, and I never felt too warm. The mid 70's or higher seems to be the spot where I can sleep without it. After you enjoy these...
I was just reading a thread on reddit the other day about hammocks on sailboats. They were using gathered end hammocks and the traditional woven string hammock with the wooden spreader bar at each...
Welcome from South Jersey!
The Clark Hammocks that Dutch is now selling are supposed to be tough. I have never used one though.
I was just looking at his site. I guess that's the benefit of being a true cottage business. BTW: I've owned a 40 degree TrailWinder since last summer and have yet to use it. I can't wait!!!
Sorry Folks, I will not be able to provide reveille this time. We just got some sad news and have to be out of town for that weekend. Happy Hangin'.
I love my Chameleon in the Hexon 1.6. It has a wonderfully soft feel to it, and it breathes in the summer time to keep you cool. I actually bought two of them and then picked up the Double Dutch...
Karla's top three are what get me in the woods. Most times, the group hangs are car camping so schlepping the gear is no big deal. I get to socialize and sleep better knowing there are other humans...
I believe it is both. The material is the same as his UQP, just with added insulation (ION fabric, calendered/breatheable). He includes extra cordage for the ends to lengthen the suspension. Use...
I got to test out my Trail Winder this weekend in the Pine Barrens and it worked just as reported. Easy set up, no fidgeting, and warm comfort all around. I ordered the 3.6 ounce insulation. The...
It seems like you're off to a good start. I'm a relatively new hanger and here's some unsolicited advice:
For Item 2, I've been using my hammock and tarp stuff sacks as ridgeline pouches to put...
Nice Job! I like the colored grosgrain accent too.
I read this announcement with mixed emotions. A heart felt congratulations on your growing family! Also, a sadness that you are exiting the market. I am glad that your innovations will carry on...
:lol:What he said... Until otherwise corrected, I read it as Xantax
Welcome from South Jersey as well. Keep your eyes on the Campouts, Hangouts and Trips tab. There are several group events over here in the Pine Barrens where you can meet more local people and see...
Welcome from South Jersey. If you like a portaledge, you may consider a bridge hammock like the Ridgerunner from Warbonnet, the Bear Mountain Bridge from Jacks R Better, or one from Just Bill at...
I just saw the ENO Skyloft for sale at REI. Has anyone tried one yet?
A slow stroll on the trail, ample fresh air and long naps in a hammock should do you some good. It’s a sad reality that making a living out of doing what you love almost killed you! Please take your...
Simply Light Designs also offers a synthetic insulated UQ protector that is rated at 20 degrees. It seems the industry is booming with choices these days!
Great reviews everyone. Thank you all for answering most of my questions. Now to find that extra cash laying around...
I'll be sure not to set off my car alarm until after the designated hour, then.
Don't forget to check out the Hangout, Campouts and Trip Planning tab to see when a where people are "hanging out" near you. Its a great way to see and tryout gear before you open your wallet! The...
I've hung with just my son (40 lbs) and with both daughters (combined 96 lbs) in a double dutch system with no issues. Yes, they are a little higher, but not significantly. I have seen, but can't...
I’ll take it
Welcome from South Jersey! Happy Holidays.
Welcome from New Jersey. You're bound to be sucked into the rabbit hole of knowledge here on the Forums. You'll quickly learn that there is too much here to even understand, lol. Take a look at...
Welcome from South Jersey. Be prepared to spend hours... no, days here on the forums catching up on what's new!
The Double Dutch bugnet is what I use. It allows two chameleons to be set up under one bugnet, and the two hammocks are zipped together along the common edge. This has been great camping with the...
Yes.... and no. There would definitely be more width at the bar with a longer tarp. I have read a few posts that say it's just the nature of the beast. Some Forums members have put small balls at...
Welcome from South Jersey. Check out the Hangouts, Campouts and Trip Planning Tab and join us for a group hang!
I just got Dutch's 12' Winter Hex and used it for the first time this weekend. Though I didn't need to close the doors, the tarp was plenty big for the Double Dutch system. I just have to figure...
Thank you again, Chesapeake, for hosting a great weekend. The site was beautiful, the hospitality top notch! I look forward to coming down again and seeing the back half of the trail. But I must...
Very bold. Cool pack and I’m happy to see Dutch partnering up with some other vendors. I can’t wait to see what other printed combos may come!
B-E-A-utiful. Can't wait for the weekend. My daughter is now leaning toward hanging in a hammock for the night, but that could change a few times between now and then, lol. See you soon.
I'm happy to be of service!
December 7,8,9.
What he said. I have a SS 10* UQ and 20* TQ and have yet to be anything but toasty. Great Stuff!
Welcome from South Jersey and Happy Thanksgiving.
I just wanted to give a general thank you to this community for everything unique that it is. I have only been part of the hammocking world for a year now and have experienced a sense of camaraderie...
Hey George. You and your family are in our prayers of Thanksgiving this week. Thank you for all you've done to welcome me and my family into this incredible hobby and community of people. We are...
Welcome from South Jersey! Be prepared to spend most of your Thanksgiving weekend reading the forums and absorbing mind blowing amounts of cool information. If all goes well you should be back in...
PlusOne plus one kiddo = 2 here. lol
Great post, and soooo true. I haven't put my foot on a pedal yet, but I certainly have the itch. I "only" have two netless hammocks for my daughters, summer weight fleece underquilts, and a bright...
I know what you mean about hammock hopping! I took both daughters to the Loco Libre hang and tried to get them both in one hammock (Double Dutch with me in the other side). I ended up with one cold...
Dutchware has been doing a different sale each week of November.
Not having done this with ya'll before, I naturally have a few questions! :) I teach so I'm usually free after 2:45. Could you PM me some particulars like where, what to bring, what to share, etc. ...
I’d like to join you guys with one of my daughters (age 7). We’d probably be arriving Friday early evening and leaving Saturday late afternoon though. Sorry for the abbreviated trip. :(
