Not sure if this will be useful to anyone else...maybe I just have weak hands.
But I went to install my new peak shelf in my Chameleon tonight, following the instructions from Dutch's video on this operation. All went well with attaching the squeeze hook to the ridge line and the mitten hook to the suspension.
But when I tried to attach the pack hooks to the interior D-rings of the hammock, failure. I could not get the hooks over the D-rings by just pressing them on. Same with attaching the D-ring at the end of the shelf to the pack hook up on the ridge line.
I went in the garage and came out with a fairly robust pair of needle-nose pliers...success! Just the extra leverage of using the pliers to squeeze the hooks over the rings worked well. Not sure I'll ever get them off, but at least they're on now
