Ahhh crap. I'm sorry to do this but I'm going to have to cancel. I'm leaving the country for a few weeks and the only time the tickets were affordable was during the weekend of the group hang. I'm...
Roo's are awesome. I used mine at the group hang last year.
I'll be there with 2 fellow hangers. 3 people total.
I guess roasting marshmallows wasn't enough for Kenny...
I'll be coming tomorrow evening with my +1 so just two nights for me
Too late to add a plus one?
I'll be there. Possibly 2 nights. 3 nights if I can get work off.
The compression of the UQ depends on so many factors that it's kind of hard to narrow it down. It could be the length of the hammock, the width of the hammock, how tight your ridgeline is, the...
I am definitely more comfortable in my Kammock Roo inside the sock vs a smaller single-person hammock. The wider width gives me the ability to lay more diagonally which in turn widens the walls of...
I just did a test on my multicolor lights to see how long they will last on 3 Eneloop Pro AA batteries. The lights were still on after 29 hours but very dim at that point. I'm sure I could have...
Due to the overwhelming number of requests (2 people), here you go.
The zipper is 6 feet long with two double sided zipper pulls. Zipper is #3 non-separating. Total added weight is 0.8 ounces....
I have a 20* Incubator and Phoenix with Dutch's summer sock and I was literally sweating in 26* weather with wind. I'm sure the winter will get you down another 15-20 degrees. Just have to watch out...
I use hammock gear Cuban sleeves for my Superfly. Fits all my guy lines with shock cord and everything. If you cover from one edge of the ridgeline to the other end to end there's about a two inch...

My apologies. I'll try to explain more in detail.
The continuous loop in the middle of that photo (the loop between the speed hook and double hammock hook) will have a small portion of non-buried...
Yes but only one of the continuous loops would have the bury inside the hammock. There's a second continuous loop that Dutch mentions in his post that has the double hammock hook in it and that would...
Oh and also, forgive me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the bury of the continuous loop that the double hammock hook is spliced on interfere with the speed hook due to the thickness of the amsteel with the...
Any update on using the .355 carbon fiber poles from Quest Outfitters as a spreader bar? Really curious to know if a 34" bar made from two 17" poles are strong enough for two people. Combined weight...
I use a continuous ridgeline for that exact reason: keeping my poles off the tarp if I decide to go with the pole mod. Also centering the tarp over the hammock is incredibly simple with a CRL....
Its my money and i need it NOW!

I just switched to Dutch's Speed Hooks. This lets me skip whoopie slings altogether. You only need half the length since it's just a single line of amsteel. Made continuous loops for the ends of my...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to have to try and mess around with the lengths of the lines for the side pull outs. I definitely don't want to carry an extra 4 stakes to get this thing...
My apologies. The images should be working now. If not, please yell at me. Thank you.

Hey party people. Just wanted to share...
Shipping status finally updated. Should be coming in tomorrow :D
Oh I just realized it was this thread hahaha. It was post #16
The reason why I asked is because I saw the fabric option in your DIY Stuff section. I vaguely remember seeing it also in the thread you started to introduce the new PolyD hammocks a couple months...
Just looked this up on the website. Is the 10ft PolyD 1.4 hammock in Charcoal Grey not an option anymore? :(
Well I guess mine did too. I got the email as well :D My order number was #6059.
Already? What was your order number?
That's what you get for making great gear. You should learn from this experience and make your stuff more mediocre next time. :laugh:
Count me in!!! I've never been to a group hang before. Sounds awesome :D
If you go to Sequoia make sure to take longer straps! I just went a couple months ago and my 8 foot huggers wouldn't even wrap around some of the trees!
Dutch, since it looks like you're working right now I just order two pairs of Speed Hooks :laugh:
I had the same question. I emailed Adam and hopefully will get a response after he enjoys his weekend family time :)
Adam, thanks for the amazing deal! I know you're slammed right now but I had a quick question. For the Incubator, the inner color option just has a check box that says "Black." What happens if we...
Order #6059!!!
I should mention that I actually was able to get about 2" of the shock cord in but then my Zing-It just didn't budge after that. Ow, it hurts typing with my raw fingers :(
GreatBigDave - Alright. I've been at this for two hours now. My fingers are completely raw and I haven't even finished a single line yet. Are there any other tips you can share? As of right now I am...
Oh wait. Scratch that last post. Just reread the caption on your first photo. I apologize for my ignorance....
I do have the advantage of being on a desktop right now :laugh: If anything, I'm sure I could splice a small piece of Zing-It through the tapered end's reinforcement and cinch it with a mini...
Sweet. Doesn't look too worrisome of an opening, especially when the SRL is pulled tight.
Thanks for the photo GoatHanger. Really helps a lot. Does the mitten hook come installed or did you put that on yourself? I think that would be a good idea to keep the sock centered especially if you...
Piece of crap... just saw this and I already got my order this week. I guess it never does stop...
I am curious though about OutandBack's question about the sock's capability with a full length...
Okay we'll wait... BUT we get first dibs on all the info first in this thread!!!
I, too, am curious about the top secret super duper fill deal.
I demand answers.
Now.
Please?
Ahh I see. Good point. I should be receiving all my supplies tomorrow. Looks like I'll be having a busy weekend :D
Good to know Black Wolf. I don't think we'll get much snow this year in California so hopefully I don't run into any issues there. Can't wait to try this out!
Yeah I think I'm set on the Aeros pillow now. Seems like the positive reviews outweigh the negative ones. I'll report any issues with whiplash or cold once I get to test it out. Thanks for all your...
