Welcome from Northern NM!
Looks like they posted to their Facebook page on June 3.

Howdy from up in White Rock, NM. Backpacked the Middle Fork of the Gila last August, and I'm already planning some future trips in the Gila NF.
Awesome! If timing works out, perhaps I can do a section in northern NM with you.
I have a cheapie Amazon pair I use if my feet get cold in the middle of the night.
Used my Tensa4 on a sandy beach by a lake two years ago, and sandy soil a couple times since. Worked great!
Not the Dutchware kit specfically, but a silpoly tarp was the second thing I ever sewed. The fabric is slippery and you need to take your time, but it is definitely possible.
Made my wife a 20 degree UQ using UP insulation when it first came out. Doesn't pack as small as down but it does insulate well.
Second this. I've used the spreader bar a number of times with the wife or a kid. When one of you moves, the other moves. I'd also say I have better luck when the two of us are sleeping opposite...
To add on to what Rolloff said, Ripstop by the Roll has a nice chart that shows suggested weight ratings for their various fabrics. I'm not aware of a similar chart for Dutch's fabrics, but you...
I have a Janome JW8100 I purchased over two years ago. It's been a workhorse and has way more stitch options than I'll ever need.
I'll take it!
I made my wife a 20 degree UQ using UP insulation last year (she has a slight down sensitivity) and it's worked very well. Doesn't compress as small as my 20 degree 800FP UQ but it's pretty dang...
I made a 12' ridgeline rectangular tarp out of 1.1 Silpoly XL that's my current go-to tarp. I used it year round in coastal NC to be able to close off the ends during the inevitable rain. I'm...
Howdy from northern New Mexico, originally a WV hillbilly. :)
I'll take it!
Tried to send a PM, but your mailbox is full.
They may only offer group camping, but you could check out Holly Gray Park. Looks like the Bulltown Campground at Burnsville lake has walk-up available until end of November (not sure exactly what...
No direct experience with the CRO quilt, but I made my wife an underquilt using UP that should be around a 20 degree. She's used it a few times now, and also throwing in my testing, I'd say it...
I'm in for Bundle #3
I'm in for bundle 2.
I'm in for bundle #3
I've had this one for over a year and have been very impressed so far.
Howdy, Mark! I used to be a Beaver, a good old Beaver too.
I have, works like a champ.
I was indifferent to the prints, but my wife saw Starry Night so I made her hammock out of that. Once I saw the printed fabric in person, I was very impressed. Since then, I've done a zipper pack...
Wow, high praise indeed! Thanks, Shug!
Very kind words, thank you!

They have the olive/green as one of their in-stock prints, but they also have it in...
Thanks, I really like how it turned out.
Thanks, she already loves being outside. Hoping this will help get her out camping with her scout troop.
Thanks! I figure if I'm gonna have an addiction, it might as well help other get outdoors and enjoy hammocking.
Thanks! I'm waiting to see what her reaction is. :D
Thanks! I try to learn a little bit more with each project.
I have a niece that is absolutely bonkers for all things dragon. For her birthday, I ordered some dark olive/green dragon scales 1.6 HyperD and made her a netless hammock and stuff sack. I added a...
Funds received, shipping today. Enjoy your straps!
SPF to RENDAWG. PM Sent.
Sorry, I'd like to sell the complete set.
This is a catch and release. I purchased these straps and hardware from this thread, and never used them:

So, I made my wife an underquilt a few months ago using UP insulation (she has a sensitivity to down.) We finally had a chance to test it out this weekend. I had used the underquilt calculator and...
Appreciate the report. I've got due in this week for a new hammock. :)
And just an FYI, Dutch and Jacks-R-Better keep quilts in stock if you need to get a quality underquilt quickly.
Just an update, much yes for the fabric channels. However, I can't tell much difference between the boxed construction and RSBTR's sewn-through, but YMMV.
Made one for my son using the RSBTR instructions, and it seems to work well. Making another right now for my daughter. I'm using fabric channels for a full-length suspension and using a...
Just finished an underquilt for my wife using UP insulation. I still need to try it out in the cold, but so far it looks very promising. Quilt should be good to at least 20F. You can tell a bit of...
For what it's worth, I've camped several times with my three year old (though nearly as big as some six year olds a I apparently breed moose children) in the hammock with me and never had any issues....
I bought one of these before Christmas and have used it a few times now. I like the metal foot so I can layout the fabric on the floor or table and cut it without burning anything underneath. Still...
Howdy from up the road in Los Alamos!
I'll take it.
