A few weeks ago I started looking around for my first setup and after much deliberation I finally decided to get a Tree Runner SL hammock and a Trail Haven tarp from Jared at Simply Light Designs. I chose SLD because I thought this would be a good set up for me to start out with, and also because Jared seemed to have a pretty good reputation on here.
Well, after doing business with him I can honestly say his reputation is well-deserved. I sent him several emails with a lot of questions but he was always quick to reply, and his advice really helped me out a lot. He went out of his way to make sure I understood what I was getting, and what my options were. In short, he went WAY above and beyond what I expected.
They were out of the original material I ordered, so he told me about another fabric that was a little more expensive but he thought I might like it better anyway. I told him that was fine and to let me know how much more I owed him, but of course he wouldn't let me pay the difference. He also made several other upgrades to my order at no charge. On top of everything else, I got the hammock a couple of days earlier than I thought I would.
All in all he was a pleasure to do business with, and I could not recommend him more highly.
