Video: All In One Hammock And Tarp Suspension

[Scarab]

Ya, way cool.
Do you think you could almost just store it pre set up? Just pack it all up in a back so it is quick setup?

Nice, I see you have a set of the old style Dutch Clips. I wish he still made that style.

[Grapenut]

That is great. I love the all in one idea just never seems to workout. The only thing I can see as an issue here is if your trees get too close.

Nice

Damnfast, I can get this as close or closer than any other suspension I've tried. You can pull the buckles all the way up against the tree if you have to. The dogbone that hooks to the hammock is at >30 degree angle. G-Nut

Cool deal Jaxx. Do you see any reason someone couldn't have 2 dog bones on each end, thus allowing to have the biner in between the 2 dog ones and under the tarp for a water break?

Jaxx and I were talking about this after your post 12try... After noodling your suggestion, we realized that Jaxx could actually just fix the dogbone end to the cinch buckle and put a continuous loop (or shorter dogbone) on the hammock end...thus reversing the connection.

Also, here's a great video by Derek Hansen on water breaks. A simple string looks like it may work best.

I better go make some more Dutch Biners.

I agree. no rest for you this weekend.

That is slick. Have you encountered any cons to this method after testing?

Not a one as of yet.

That's a neat idea with good explanation. I'm guessing there's a certain minimum tree distance that's dictated by the size of the tarp? Or would it be dictated by hammock size? Regardless, it's a clever solution.

Only enough length for your tarp and line for it " In my case 11 feet plus length for the z - line that was attached.

That is great. I love the all in one idea just never seems to workout. The only thing I can see as an issue here is if your trees get too close.

Nice

mmmm I haven't had that problem as long as I have enough room for my tarp.

I use the fleaz for a ridgeline on my SLD asym tarp. They are very small and light, i like 'em

I love them to.. Dutch Rocks.

Great video Jaxx!! I am eager to try one of these systems also. Thanks for sharing.

Let me know how it turns outs

I don't see a problem with that and I haven't tried it . Have you seen the video by Derek Hansen on the "water break test" in my opinion,I agree 100% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0-uOekjcU0

Jaxx, innovative--lightning fast--modular all in one hammock and tarp suspension. Your sleepless nights result in a great snooze.

Totaly agree.

Very cool Jaxx.
ThankS brothA!

Dutch,

How about you just come with a whole system to sell? Of course I would buy it

Ya, way cool.

Yes, toatally possible! In fact someone is making me somthing up now to do just that. Things to keep in mind though are : if your tarp is or gets wet you risk your TQ AND OR UQ getting wet as well when you store it .

I whipped up a short video to show an ultralight version of an integrated hammock suspension that I've been toying with. Note: I mention using Dutch Fleaz...actually using Dutch Flyz on this particular tarp. Also, said Lash-It and meant to say Zing-It. Enjoy, G-Nut

I do still make them and they are sold exclusively through Jacks R Better.

What did you make your dog bones with? Is that amsteel?

[Intimidator]

Dogbones appear to be dynaglide

Intimidator is right, I used Dynaglide.
