Nice. I'm loving all of the innovation in materials and designs lately.

The site is working for me....???

New 2mm opening dutch hooks are 2 weeks out™...... :lol:





Just having a little fun. Yes, 2mm will snap in fine, no worries.

:thumbup:

I'll be trying this myself. Thanks!

I thought for sure you were gonna source some tye die material!

:thumbup:

I remember your diy cozy. ;)

The lightest two that I know of are:

Edelrid Nineteen G - it weighs 19 grams
Camp Nano 22 - it weighs 22 grams

The Camp is made in China, so I imagine they would be receptive to custom logos...

FYI, I know this is sold on Amazon, but I spoke with Appleby directly and they could not guarantee that an order from Amazon would result in the "newest" version. Apparently, they have upgraded the...

:woot: Great news to start my day! Thank you!

Now that's brilliant. Great idea! I'm thinking the multi-buckle from Dream Hammock would work in this role.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing. I'm merely pointing out the fact that someone from the outside looking in would think we were crazy to refer to these items as "luxuries".

:lol: this is great....

We have cold Subway sandwiches, leftover pizza, and cold fried chicken as luxuries! Luxuries! Hahaha. :thumbup1:

Thanks for providing another +1 for 2QZQ and their stellar reputation. I have two hammocks in their hands as we speak. I can't wait to use them!

Donna,

Thank you for the link! I did see the pillowcase hat. I'm gonna let the wife make the call on that one, and I know she wants to try out a pillow. I'll keep this in mind and forward the...

I just received my pillow from Dutch. Well, I take that back...my wife just received her pillow. I ordered it for her to try. I'll post her feedback as soon as I can, but our hammocks are getting...

Agreed! I'd love to see some of these in use.

My HH is at 2QZQ at the moment or I'd already be playing....

Wow, that last picture really drives home the difference between bulk of the two systems.

Congrats! Enjoy your new setup.

Yeah buddy!

Well, I've personally used it in the 20's. However, I have learned that comfort and temp ratings can vary widely with each person. I'm a hot sleeper, so I think that helps me in the...

Wow, that is really cool.

Thanks for the great diagram as well!

Did you experience any damage to the cars or hammock gear?

Speaking of, has anyone done testing that confirms the optimal placement of the clip in relation to the tree?

Let's imagine we are looking down on the tree from up above and the tree is a...

Welcome!

I'm just up the road in Bristol (on the VA side). Glad to hear you are liking your hammocking experience so far.

I too was very apprehensive about spending a lot of money when I first...

Great to hear!

I love it when a plan comes together.... - Hannibal "A-Team" :lol:

Seriously, it is a good feeling to know your own personal limits as well as the limits of your gear.

I use a Kelty Cosmic 20 Down bag with no hood. I bought it because it was the cheapest I could get into a down bag because it was on an Amazon lightning deal. I got it for ~$75. I love it.

Way to think outside the box. That's a great idea, especially if you have an abundance of bling.

Dang...I seriously came within a gnat's hair of adding them to my last order. I just wasn't sure if they would be compatible with 1/8" Amsteel. Thanks for the feedback and confirmation that they...

You are right! I apologize, I didn't realize what forum I was in when I posted. I was browsing "new posts" on my phone and I didn't think to scroll over.

My apologies to Dutch. Also, I think...

You can specify just about anything you want, within reason, and Dutch & Co. will get it done most ricky tick.

Self edited: to get my foot of of my mouth.... Carry on gents.

Eight inches on top of you? Did you take and pictures or can you elaborate a little more?

Were your doors overlapped?

Sincerely, thank you for the real world feedback!

Glad to hear it! I know you seemed pretty bummed when you first arrived at GHSP and no one else was there. Looks like this turned out well, if the injured hiker is okay then I'm sure we'll all feel...

Great question! I picked up some of the Shepherd's hook version last week on massdrop. I'm tempted to grab these as well.

The Shepherd's hooks seem strong and I know titanium seems to have high...

You're welcome. I completely understand and appreciate your desire to create new and exciting designs.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! Order placed.

Great vid, I really enjoy your editing/camera work.

Just curious, how much ground did you all cover on this trip?

Very informative and from an obviously experienced source. Thank you Shug for dropping another knowledge bomb!

I'm also a fan of Outdoor Research, they put out some quality.

Godspeed,
Chase

Holy thread resurrection, Batman! :lol:

I have to say I'm glad it got bumped. I never knew such an animal existed. This sounds perfect for a summer solution in my AO.

Welcome to the forums!

I can't help with any local hangs in UT, but I did want to drop in and say that my wife and I spent a week in Moab and we love that area (and possibly the whole state,...

Nice job!

The pack cover and ridgeline organizer look professionally done. I imagine you could make and sell those if you wanted to.

I was not going to be able to make this trip (my hammock is at 2QZQ at the moment).

If anyone decides to bail and doesn't feel like driving home, I live in Bristol just off of I-81. I've got 2...

My tarp has tie outs on each end and I use a loop alien on each side that I leave Lark's headed about a foot away from the tie out D ring. I've never tried a CRL, buy I have to say that I love my...

I'm definitely a follower of the two in one, and one in none crowd.

However, when it comes to backpacking and hammock camping, that philosophy is not always practical or prudent.

I won't go...

:lol:

Great idea (whoever thought of it), but I'm way too harsh on gear to use this. That's the main reason I haven't purchased anything made of cuben fiber......yet! haha.

Awesome! Thanks for the link.

Great to hear. Any chance you could post some pics and/or vids of your setup?

I also went full bore on ordering some LA's and KOLA's. I'll pass along some as well as soon as I can post in the...

I dig it!

I'd say this will be in regular production by the time my current hammock needs replacing. :thumbup:

Awwww....who am I kidding, I can always use another hammock! Right?!?! Two is...

I would love to see more LA and KOLA set-ups and ideas. I ordered some to try on my tarp....

Interesting idea. Did you craft this hammock yourself? I'm intrigued.

Please be careful if you decide to post pics. :lol:

This is a tough one for me. I'm not sure if I really have a "luxury" item as described.

If I had to make a choice it would be "wet ones" that are part of my toiletry kit. I know they're not...

3x3 piece of Tyvek for me. Working well so far.
