    Excellent customer service

    Thanks so much to Randy and Deanna for sending a new hammock to me so quickly when I had a problem with my old one while out on a two month backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail.

    I was really in a bind and they went the extra mile to ship me a hammock to me on the trail so I could get back and continue on my trip. My first Darien hammock lasted many years- including over 1800 miles on the PCT and 300 miles on the Arizona Trail, in addition to countless weekend trips. Looking forward to many years with the new one.

    Really impressive customer service!

    Here I am setting up my new Darien for the first time.

    And here is the view a few miles before camp that day.

    Thanks Joan,
    Your old Darien was #339, shipped on Mar 24, 2013.
    Tough to see it finally retired, but hopefully this new one gives you just as many nights. Enjoy the rest of your hike.

    That's fantastic to hear about your replacement hammock, and that is awesome of the Smurfs to do that for you. Nice blog! Glad to see that you made it back out to the PCT this month. I hope all goes well for you.

    Wow it's that old- remarkable! So many trips.

    Now I'm sort of embarrassed that I never actually washed it.

    That pic of the view before camp is so idyllic - awesome!
