That's pretty much it in a nutshell but to be honest, when I bought the first fitting it was dirt cheap. I use the Ring to hang stuff from but not the hammock, most of the time it is just a nuisance.

I have been sleeping in the Chameleon slung on these for over two weeks now with no problems. I am 6'3" and about 200lbs and I haven't noticed any problems but like I said the weak point will be the...
I just updated the video with links in the description for the L-track and hooks. These are cargo tie downs with a high strength rating, the week point will always be the method of attaching these to...
Dang, I keep trying to feed the negative in the little slot in the side of the computer and it won't go.
"Mommy Dearest", maybe?
I would advise using at minimum a #8 screw 3" long but a #10 3 1/2" long would be better. Remember, they are sharing the load among the three and as long as no one is doing headstands, Shug, then the...
I'm working with one of the vendors here to be able to buy in bulk and hopefully get the price down on them. If that deal fall through then I will provide links so that folks here can buy them at the...
...just had to.
LOL
I found this nifty little piece of hardware that lets me hang different hammocks at different heights without having to drill a bunch of huge holes in the walls.

Today is the last day.
We had considered that option but here in the South a bug net is pretty much mandatory even if we would just be testing it out.
My son and I were thinking about getting a RR just to check it out but it doesn't appear to be part of the 20% off for the "Hammock Day" sale.
If I knew what the door kit fit that is coming as an "extra" bonus with the hammock I bought I would so be on this like Shug on a unicycle.
That looks mighty uncomfortablay layin' on the ground like some primitive ground dweller but sometimes ya gotsta do what ya gotsta do ta get by.
HAPPY HAMMOCK DAY...
Where were you when I started this journey?
Frankie says "Relax"
I've been doing all my time in my office, to dang hot to camp out in the back yard. It sounds like you are getting things sorted out, right there with ya.
I am enjoying this hammock, I just wish that it had been my first choice when I started this journey.

That looks like a blue tongue.
It is too hot to hang outside. I tried to shoot a video about my Chameleon outside and my green hammock started to turn red from the heat. Luckily I have my setup in the house so I can hang all the...
I thought you meant the marks left by the hammock when sleeping naked, my bad.
If you are happy with the lay of your current hammock spend the money on a quality tarp, under quilt, top quilt and various hardware. You can always upgrade the hammock down the road if you want.
Don't feel bad, I am looking at either two Puffin Saco's or a Puffin Saranac for my son and I to take on motorcycle camping trips.
I over-do everything, I must be a passionate guy...
With all of my camera gear I can not for the life of me figure out how to post pictures here of my Chameleon in the wild.
My son and I are starting to get our preference for hammocks nailed down and locked in but it has taken a few purchases to get there and we may be doing a few more buys before it is all said and...
I've been sleeping in the hammock for a week now and I seem to toss and turn. I go from my back from right to left and then I end up on my side, then back to my back and then side. This goes on all...
I asked that question here https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php/139344-Is-it-H-A-S-or-H-A-D
The dead walk among us...
Mine took about a week.
I am a huge RF fan followed closely by TLR's. I have a huge collection including my M2, M3 and a MIIb along with Konica's, Minolta's, Yashica's as well as Nikon S1, S2 and SP. My Nikon D300S is the...
Dang it, I had not considered allergens, I was just thinking dander. this adds a whole new level of complication to the situation.
I didn't see kitchen sink in that list.
Just get the bug net and be sure to get two peak shelves while you are at it.
Do you leave the whipping and CL in place?
I bought several Costco down quilts to try my hand at DIY UQ's and I am thinking about getting a few poncho liners as well.
I'm new here as well and still working on the learning curve. I started with a Grand Trunk Double as a jumping off point to see what I liked and didn't. Watching YouTube videos, Shugemery mostly, I...
DoctaD a Rangefinder, my kinda guy.
I have plenty of NikWax Tech Wash because I use it for all of my riding gear but I think I am going to try the low tech vinegar wash first.
The pleasant wafting of campfire smoke was the first thing...
I use white vinegar all the time to remove rust from old tools when I restore them so I think I might have some around here somewhere, I'll give it a shot and see. We have no idea what it is that...
I purchased a WBBB XLC from a member here but I wasn't smart enough to put two and two together to come up with C-A-T. I don't blame him, he even posted a picture of the hammock WITH a cat so I...
Will it accommodate taller swingers?
ILMBO. There needs to be a like button on this forum for shhhhhttttuff like this.
Thanks TrailSlug, I guess I should have expanded my search terminology.
I don't know if this has been discussed, taboo or just not a topic of regular conversation but I have noticed a more frequent need to get up in the middle of the night to relieve myself since I...
What part of Eads are you in?
As a nOOb to the whole hammock camping thing I discovered things that I had never considered in a regular lounge hammock such as direction of lay. The XLC has to be ordered with your preference for...
If you go with Amsteel continuous loop there is no knot you just run it through doubled up and pass it through itself like a larks head knot. I did the same thing to my Grand Trunk Double, so much...
Pictures would be most helpful but if you are like me, that is above my experience level. If I remember correctly, somebody, maybe even me, suggested wall mounting. You have a 14' and a 15' hammock,...
I got my Chameleon in yesterday from those fine folks at Dutchwaregear.com and I couldn't be more pleased. The fit, finish and workmanship appears to be second to none and I have been enjoying...
I would stick with the known vendors here that have already been vouched for rather than going with Amazon. Supporting the vendors here helps to continue the cottage industry but the big thing is...
