Well folks as the weather has warmed up a bit I have been able to get the vortex out and play with it a bit. Now before you go asking allot of questions let me say this first. I set the hammock up for the first time today until today it hasn't ever been out of the box. The place I set it up is a state park here about 3 miles from the house. The park is and continues to be closed do to the major ICE STORM that hit us in January there are widow makers everywhere you look it seems. I knew going into this park I would get run out and it didn't take long about 30 minutes into setting this up and play with it a bit the park ranger asked me nicely to leave but before he left he had to look at the hammock he has seen my others from time to time and always has nice things to say about them so it was not all bad.
okay at first glance this thing is HUGE it is the condo of all hammocks, material
is somewhat new to me as all my other hammock do not have the mosquito proof material but I can see I am going to like any hammock made with it.
The top of it seems to be just like the other NA or NX material and the No see
em bug net seem to be just the same but oh my god huge you talk about a room with a view.

here you go
okay this is a two person hammock so you all want to know about the two person stuff right. okay well the middle has a huge storage compartment for each one of you kind of his an hers type thing going on on the inside. And it's all right there at arms and hands reach away. Did I say this thing is HUGE I hope so cause it is that. Back to the two person stuff those of you who like to use an underquilt can now stop asking yourself this question but will it work with a underquilt YES IT WILL WORK FOR BOTH OF YOU. Each person also gets his and her out side pockets two of them one on the head end and the other on the foot end with matching material one green one black.
The head and foot end have there own Clark ropes that everyone is familiar with the way I set it up I tied both foot ends to same tree with a slippery bowlin knot and found two tree's that were I would say to far apart but like I said earlier this was a rush job to get it setup and all the lines on it and take a few pictures of it but it did make it nice to get all the lines on and set up.
you will be able to see this in the pictures that I will post at the bottom.
When Clark started talking about this I was wondering how hard it would be to
find three tree's in a triangle and thought to myself this would be the only
thing tough about that. Well after doing some hiking around the last couple of
months when I had time too I started looking much like you do when you look for a cool place to hang your hammock and I started to relize that they are all over the place god must have thought that one day someone with a cool new hammock idea would need tree's in a triangle to hang on and put them all over the place.
I even found them in TX,AR,TN,KY,AL those are the states I have been in the past couple of months so that thought is now a mute thought.
I did not have time to put the tarp up because of being run out of the park I
thought I should not push my luck but I will set it up in the day's and weeks to come so you all can see it setup.
So that is just a brief description of the Clark Vertex and I hope you enjoy
looking at the real life pictures of it. I will be posting more pic's soon and a
new RELEASE OF THE VERTEX VIDEO coming to a youtube near you.
Here are the pictures that I was telling you about
here is the link to them it's easier sometimes to do
a group of pictures this way.
hope you like them.
