You bet women like Dutch! Am putting together yet another order.
I've been a full time hanger for about four years now. I sleep soundly, often waking in the same position I went to sleep in. I get up rested and limber, no aches and pains. If I have to sleep in...
Should add that as a full time hanger HG downy goodness has kept me snug for the last few years. Thanks Adam and Jenny!
Burrow 20 cobalt blue with 1 oz extra ordered. Now the wait begins!
My ENO Double Nest is my every night indoor hammock at the moment. It's very comfortable, especially since I'm surrounded by Hammock Gear downy goodness. Sleep hits in about 10 seconds.
Single inside hanger (outside in the summer) for 2 1/2 years now. Started outside because house was too hot one summer, then when it got too cold outside (relatively--wimpy Californian here)...
Doesn't everybody measure at the meniscus?
Just ordered mine on Amazon. Can't wait! Thanks for such great work!
I like! Will definitely buy when it comes out. Here's my ultimate hang--am sleeping here all summer.

If the tree hugger straps have a sewn loop on one end, you can go around the tree and run the other end though the loop. A toggle can be a stick, half a strong knitting needle, or any other fairly...
I'll be out there. It's so bright there's no need for a flashlight.
I need a pillow for comfort. I use a small REI pillow that they don't make any more, and the HammockGear one works great also, and packs small. I also use a very lightweight inflatable pillow under...
Cold nights, inside in a Brazilian with Yeti and down top quilt--bliss! Hot nights (no AC) outside in the WBBB and Yeti if needed. Love getting up and not being stiff and achy. Went on vacation,...
After not touching my ancient "thread injector" for decades, this thread inspired me to get it out, remove accreted dirt, lube everything that moves, and make myself a set of snakeskins for my McCat...
It's not stretching the truth to say this forum has changed my life. I sleep in a hammock every night and wake up limber. I've got a closet full of great gear made by our cottage guys and gals. I...
REI has ENO DoubleNest hammocks on sale for $44.99 with free shipping for members. The sale ends May 30. Just had to get one--to keep my WBBB, Traveler, and Brazilian company, I guess. It's going...
They're a new item. Adam said that they had not yet set the final price. That said, he sold it to me for $20. I just weighed it--3.5 oz, and it squishes up small for packing, or it could just be...
Just days after I ordered, the pillow from Hammock Gear has arrived! :boggle: It's green, matching my Burrow and 3S underquilt, and seems to have just the right amount of fill for comfort. It'll...
When it arrives, I'll post pics and gloat (er, share my joy)
Called Adam today with a question, and for information on a pillow they will be making. I ordered the pillow, and he said he'd send me the Pay Pal link. A couple of hours later, the Pay Pal link...
Finally stopped raining here. First time this year to hang the WBBB, put the tarp up because more rain expected. Guess where I'll be sleeping tonight....
The Cocoon inflatable pillow is perfect under the knees, but is unstable under my head, rolls off to one side.
For my head, I use an REI backpacking pillow that they don't make anymore:(:(. It's...
Love love LOVE :boggle: my Blackbird. Slept in it outside all last summer & fall. Cold drove me inside to the Brazilian (hammock;)), but I'll be back out in it when it warms up. I really miss the...
I have both--got the Yeti with the WBBB from Brandon, then couldn't resist the Black Friday sale prices for the 3S Crowsnest/Phoenix. They are both excellent underquilts. The Yeti is lighter, a bit...
It's here! Just a couple of days after Christmas!
Snugglin' surrounded by down on a cold rainy winter night......
After brief panic when the buttons on the front grid on the Hammock Gear site didn't work, I followed the underquilt button trail and placed my order for a 3S Crowsnest. Back to watching the mail,...
How about--slept outside in the WBBB all summer, then couldn't face no hammock sleeping till next year, so I bought a Brazilian from Seaside Hammocks and installed it inside. The Yeti fits just...
Yippee!!! My 3s Burrow is here! :thumbup: Beautiful workmanship, huge loft. Just in time, because the cold weather is on its way (relatively speaking, this IS California, not near as cold as...
Just got the tracking number on my 3s Burrow!!:thumbup:: Good things do indeed come to those who wait! Since I've brought my hammock sleeping obsession inside (thanks, Knotty, for the tip on...
Waiting on 3 season Burrow......Zelph's Venom stove just arrived!
Now I REALLY can't wait for my package to arrive........
Thanks, Dutch. That answers my question. It's great to be able to talk to the inventor himself! Love this forum!
I'm changing to the Dutch Biner for my suspension, but I REALLY like the Dutch Clip for convenience in hooking up to the tree and the ability to have my suspension all in one piece. With the shorter...
As a woman backpacking alone, this is a concern for me. We have black bears in the Sierras, and of course there are major urban areas close by. I am actually more concerned about human predators. ...
Have just placed the order for the 3S Burrow! Can't wait to have a true hammock top quilt instead of using my sleeping bag!:thumbup:
Archery shops have carbon fiber arrow shaft scraps that work perfectly for suspension toggles. They are very strong, incredibly light (lighter than aluminum ones), easy to drill for keeper string...
Thanks to all for the reassurance. I'll sleep now with no worries about wearing it out too soon. I do have a Traveler, and there is a very good chance that it will be my winter bed, if I can figure...
I've just finished fiddling with the Line-Locs and Zing It ridge line. They work great--no slipping. The Line-Locs are permanently threaded onto the ridge line. I string the RL, then tie the tarp...
When setting up the ridge line for my new MacCat, I visited the local sporting goods shop and got scrap carbon fiber arrow shaft material for free. It weighs nothing, is very strong, and drills...
Due to no air conditioning and California summer temps, I've been blissfully sleeping outside every night in my 1.1 double Blackbird. Most comfortable sleep ever! However, a scary thought...
Just setting up my MacCat with Zing-It 1.75 line--they are holding great. The slipperiness does not seem to be an issue. Am going to try to use them as part of an adjustable attachment of the tarp...
With no AC in the California foothills, outside in a hammock is the most reasonable, not to mention exquisitely comfortable choice. My three dogs can't wait until we leave the hot house and bed down...
Thanks so much for your help! I think a dog tent (who knew?) will be the best solution. Ahhh-happy anticipation of guilt free hammock backpacking....:)
I backpack with my German Shepherd (about 55 pounds). Mosquitoes in the summer Sierra are thick and fierce, and I have been ground camping in a tarp tent to give her bug protection at night. After...
As a new hanger (last year), I've been swept away by the quality of the products, service, and people that I've found and dealt with through the hammock forum. This means you, Brandon (Warbonnet),...
