Yea I found out that a bridge also makes a great kite! It was a bit windy out.
The bugnet wasn't so bad, using the pre printed template made.it easier. Attaching the zipper was the most difficult...

So I made my first bridge hammock! I used the pre-cut kit from RSBTR for the body and the bugnet template. I followed the Bic instruction vids on YouTube and I'm happy with the results.

The end of the trail
My days hike is done
Hear Owls call in nightime trees

My sleep comes easy
When it is breazy
My hammock rocks me to sleep

As the wind blows in the trees
My hammock sways in the breeze
While I take a nap

Just set up camp on a quick overnighter and felt inspired.. My wife," you need to go camping. You've been a jerk...

Since you mentioned bike packing I will use that as an example. A bicycle is basically a bicycle is it not? One is not that dissimilar from another. However, a mass produced made in China inexpensive...

Hennessey hammocks hex tarp runs $79.99. Not the lightest but it is 143" long by 120" wide. Weighs in at 27oz according to the website. Dutcware has their xenon hex tarp for $110. Lighter I'm sure,...

I started out with cinch buckles and tree straps with a loop at one end. Easy and quick, but if you don't set them perfect they can chew up a strap or slip ( ask me how I know ). Then went to straps...

Great job! Nice touch adding the half moon section for a foot box!
When my old hammock needed some repairs to the bug net I decided to give it a shot and see if it would work. It worked so well I...

When my old hammock needed some repairs to the bug net I decided to give it a shot and see if it would work. It worked so well I copied the idea for this one. Very much inspired by the warbonnet...

It is very satisfying to use gear I have made for myself. I now have a completely diy set up. Tarp, hammock, quilts, backpack, stove, various bags and stuff sacks, even my stakes are diy carbon...

I recently made a matching winter tarp and hammock.

The tarp is made from 1.1 Xenon from the winter tarp kit sold by Dutchware. The material was easy to work with and not to slippery at...

I usually hike and camp by myself and have never been overly concerned. If the weather is decent o pitch the tarp in porch mode and have a really good unobstructed view if I do hear anything. I've...

I've used Dutche's Dynema rope to make soft shackle style key rings. Also left over zing it to make a dogbone to hang my shaving brush up with. Most recently used up some spare zing it to make a...

Is it titanium? The Dutch Banger.

On the positive side you have built in gear testers. Oh and Tool is in the studio recording their new album. Always look for the positives sir.

I use my tie outs about half the time I hang my hammock. Find them to be nice when it's really windy out. I don't have to wrangle my hammock as much when I get in. When using my Underquilts they help...

I like the idea of being able to unsnap my quilts and use them as a blanket. The truth is I've never done it though. Also the sewn footbox would be better at blocking drafts I suppose.

Nice job. Very professional looking. I've had my 5oz. Top quilt down to the low 30's to upper 20's and stayed toasty with a minimum of clothing layering. Of course results vary, but you should be...

I found the kit to be helpful and it contained everything I needed in on tidy little package. Actually there was a little extra in everything, but that seems to be normal for RSBTR. The kits are...

If it works it's not silly. Besides you could always find another use for them if you need to. Neat idea if you ask me.

I always carry a couple of dogbones just in case. More so for my tarp than anything else. They have proved useful more than once and weigh so little. I even used one once when I lost my sternum strap...

Ask and ye shall receive. Yet another reason to buy a dream hammock!

Another convert to the hammock life. Welcome aboard. Swinging in the trees always beats sleeping on the ground.

Not much that I could suggest that hasn't already been said. Maybe switch out the ropes and carabiners on the eno for some amsteel continuous loops and some woopie slings and straps from Dutchware. I...

Nice to know that no matter how much they grow Dutch is still all about customer service.

I made something similar to that. Locked brummrl loops in a daisy chain attached to a treestrap. Has worked well for my daughter so far. The carabiner slides off to the side of the loop when weight...

That is a nice color combo that I would not have thought to put together. Top notch job by the Smurfs, but no Suprise there.

That would be my wife. While I was catching up on lost sleep in the hammock she was cleaning the yard and patrolling the neighbourhood.

After a scary night listening to the hurricane blow the kids ( and me) needed a little recovery time. Set up the hammocks in the backyard to enjoy the post storm breeze. Thankfully we didn't lose our...

Howdy from st Aug. Welcome to the madness that is hammock camping.

Ha. Typical Dutch answer! Thanks for the laugh sir.

I'm on vacation up here in New Jersey (from Florida) visiting family and friends. So that means I get to hang my hammock in someone else's yard, and add another state to my list of places I've hung...

Can't we all just hang along? ��
I use my tie outs a little over half the time. They are shockcord so they don't interfere with the sway. In fact I have a Nice breeze rocking me back and forth as I...

The feel of the 1.6 HyperD is amazing. Very soft and cotton like. Not slick or plastic like at all. Regular ripstop would work, but I personally prefer my HyperD.

That is a nice color. Must be nice with the sun coming through n the morning. Definatly minimum coverage! But no smaller than the Hennessey tarps, and folks swear by those.

No trees, but at least you're still in a hammock ( even if it is on the ground) and not a t**t. I've been curious about how I could do something like that, and now thanks to Shug I know. Good luck on...

My last camping trip I had interesting standoff with a racoon that did not understand threats of violence. He failed to understand the implied damage I was trying to impart to him. Had to rehang my...

Arrowhead has beginner set ups that are nice for the price.

The Yukon outfitters walkabout rain fly is a decent tarp for the money. I've had mine for a couple years now and no complaints. I use it mainly for backyard naps, but that's 1-2 times a week. Or for...

That's a beaut of a tarp there sir. With that and the Bengal stripe hammock you have a set up that would make Tarzan green with envy. Thank you for sharing, your work is always inspiring and...

I carry a couple of amsteel dog bones for just such an emergency. I can add a couple of feet to my straps if I have to. I've had to larkshead knot them onto the loops of my straps to help me make it...

My condolences. Glad that you were able to find some time to get away and recharge your mental batteries. If everyone could do that once in a while the world would be a better place.

The only thing I would add is : since you are ordering material to make a hammock from Dutchware you might as well add some zing-it to your order. You can get two 25 ft sections for $11.00 or a 180ft...

It is indeed satisfying using home made gear. You don't have to be on the skill level of kitsacowboy or jellyfish to make some use full, comfortable gear. But you can use the info they ( and tons...

Hi Hooch, welcome to Dutchaholics anonymous. It's not a self help group so much as a bunch of enablers. Breath deep, check your wallet, and be prepared to love your Dutch bling. The only problem is...

I'm jealous. Best of luck to ya'.

Man the vibes coming off that hammock or sooo groovy. Like I can feel the mind expansion and love man. Oh wait that's just a psychedelic flashback induced by the top notch hammock.
I keep saying...

Something to be said about using gear you made yourself! It's a slippery slope on the diy ride, but worth every bit. Keep up the good work.

I think most folks are kicking themselves, not Warbonnet. Luck of the draw that you order just before a sale. I don't believe anyone is complaining about what they paid, just upset they didn't save...
