Good advice on the wide, with spreaders would really make it roomy.
I may have to pause on the UQ and try my warbonnet UQ. The locos look sold out.
Thanks Tom!

I'm getting close to getting a Banyan Bridge. Any recommendations on a good UQ and 3 season tarp?
Sorry I haven't posted for a while. Just getting into my semi-retirement groove.
Thanks for...
The carabiner trick is simple.
Before getting into the hammock (while the RL is slack)
1. Clip the minibiner onto the ridge line.
2. Wrap the ridge line around the non-gate side a few wraps. You...
Yahoo! Banyan Bridge is in stock!
I am in the process of buying but want to know a recommendation for a tarp to go with it. I like the UL bonded Xenon, but are the dimensions good?
Hey, I resemble that.
Just noticed the website shows ETA Spring 2022.
Be still my beating heart!
Banyan Bridge with a new bonded UL tarp! Yeah, baby!
I am in absolutely no rush, and definitely wouldn't want to rush perfection.
Is this something still in the works? Should I be patient or maybe look at something else?
So DutchWare website says the Banyan will be available in the Fall.
Now that kids are heading back to school and some of the trees are starting to turn, is it Fall yet?
Kinda itchin’ to be...
I saw this for sale at Dutchware Gear. Looks cool. Anyone want to share how they are using them?

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Heartwarming!
It's a shame his umby (umbilical) clip is cheap plastic. Too bad there wasn't someone out there who could make something out of titanium that wouldn't weigh the poor kid down. :)
Well, Dutch, it looks like my grandson will be ready for a Chameleon soon. When we first saw him at 4 days old (curse you Covid) my wife said he looked like he was stretching out in a hammock.

I don’t know what everyone is talking about. I don’t see anything in those pictures but trees.
The way I see it;
1 is ‘a fleaz’.
2 is ‘some fleaz’.
3 or more is an infestation of fleaz.
Alternatively, 1 fleaz, 2 fleazies.
Oh yeah. I was going to post a joke here about time travel,...
Perhaps edit the title for this thread. Is that not Bob Casey and not John Casey?
Got me exploring bikepacking. Cool stuff. Except some of those trails are pretty bereft of trees. Would have to buy one of those square 4 wall things with poles and a bottom and a low ceiling and...
If I'm not mistaken, the Chameleon sidecar should work just as well. The 2 way zipper is what makes it work and I think they both have the same zipper.
Hi all,
Two sure signs of an apocalypse are people running out of stores with giant TVs and Dutchware temporarily closing.
So in this thread I'd like to know,
1. What is the most important...
First, does this mean that the new Bridge Hammock I wanted to order tomorrow which should have arrived a week ago won't arrive until tomorrow?
Second, the social distancing time will likely mean a...
Brilliant Dutch! Now I'm going to need to make another order.
Love the gear, the prices, the shipping costs, and that fun face my wife makes when I excitedly tell her I've ordered something else...
My Chameleon was nearly responsible for my death!
This last week we were camping as a group up in the mountains. I was so comfortable in my Chameleon I slept through the foot of snow and everyone...
I suspect Dutch had these designed months ago, but there was some major...cover up.:lol:
Looks fun!
Good point. But ‘Best Strength to Weight Ratio Man’ probably wouldn’t fit on Dutch’s superhero suit.
I don't think Batman has Pee Bags (although maybe he does have something in his suit for when it would just take too much time to get out of it).
I was thinking of Ironman and then realized that...
Hey all,
I was just watching another awesome Shug hike video, and it got me to thinking. Kind of like when they came out with the superhero movies with Superman and Batman, I think we would all...
I noticed another (yes another) new offering at Dutchwaregear. The Tactical Toggle. It looks like a really rugged toggle. Does it have any special function or is it just a better toggle for DIY...
Name it the Betsy Ross Bridge Hammock as an homage to the amazing seamstresses and seamsters who bring us such incredible Dutchy goodness.
I’d like to see it adaptable for hiking poles without extra hardware.
And a fridge or freezer.
Story about Shug had me worried.
I’m just glad everything came out alright in the end.
Wait a minute, sounds like that's just a tent. Is this some devious joke? Now, maybe if you made the tent more of a dome shape, and then built it out of blocks of packed snow you'd have something....
What do you get for the guy who has, and sells, everything?
Yes, we have in Canada known all about this new announcement coming up for weeks now. I can't tell you much (without bringing down the wrath and vengeance of the Canadian Intelligence services) but I...
Sorry.
It's us Canadians.
We have discovered a way to generate heat from Internet bandwidth and it looks like we pushed it a little bit too far.
Happy side of things, the watermelon crops...
Mine arrived 3 days before I knew I wanted it.
If you live in Newfoundland though, it comes a half hour later.
Truthfully though, I don't think it was more than 10 days to Canada. It can seem...
I thought you meant Baklava. With pistachios? Yum!
That would sure keep me warm when it's cold out.

So the Chameleon came available 2 Januarys ago. Hard to imagine it was that long ago. And mine is still going strong. Especially with sidecars it is amazingly functional and comfortable. Anyone know...
Let me know when you have (narrow) one in stock. Watermelon pattern?
:shades:
Great info all. I think I’m leaning towards Shug’s approach. Just need to find me some trash compactor bags. The Molly MAC looks pretty good though.
No I am not abandoning my hammock. But in our new location in central Alberta there are very few trees making the likelihood of going to ground higher each outing.
Has Dutch ever considered a GTG...
Not far off.
Reality is that since Canada has so much land, as long as we keep Quebec, that we span even more time zones. So in exchange for better international shipping rates we simply sold...
Am I right in assuming this is the same as cuben fiber?
Is it as packable (i.e. squishes down nice and small)?
This will take a hit to the wallet, but satisfy a dream I have had for a long...
😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧😧
Gone for 2 weeks? I thought '2 weeks' meant never. So does this means there really is no bike trip? Or, oh the horror, that Dutch is actually riding off into the sunset never to...
Ronstan is not available in Canada. Maybe if Dutch ordered a few thousand he could bundle them as a kit with the other materials needed.
Any other suppliers for the Ronstan in Canada?
Best laugh of the week!
I tried the positive on my left frontal lobe and the negative on my right lobe.
Now my eyes have turned blue and I have an uncontrollable urge to buy Dutchware.
Is this reversible?
Aaaaagh!
In the last year I went to Kevlar straps cause they are so light, then spider Web 2.0 came out and I had to have those. Now 1.5? When will Dutch's brilliance end, and when will I finally...
Oh yeah! Dutch rain wear. Or will it just be called 'Dutchwear'
I'll save some marketing time for you Dutch. Here are the slogan's for some of the new offerings;
"The stunning Dutch sweater is...
I’m sure this has been mentioned elsewhere, but what about a Dutch shirt in the same fabric? Seems wierd doing laundry without a shirt on. And in a pinch it might be a good rain shirt. Or is...
I was thinking of buying a few pair for Christmas gifts. But then I thought maybe Dutch's legs would be even better. Wait for it. They'd make great stocking stuffers.
If they are available in p2f...
