    O and the hammock chairs are available in 1.1 marpat camo, or 1.9 green. 1.1's weigh in under 8 oz, pack to the size of a large grape fruit with 15' webbing buckle suspension on a sewn channel. I have bounced up and down in the 1.1 like a trampoline (yah that is some dynamic load testing) it is 4'x5' pre hemming and channel. You can set it up a couple ways, first rig it much like you would a regular hammock and sit with the suspension lines running left and right of you. Fairly comfortable and lets you sway, if you scoot with the edge under the bottom of your upper thigh the chair comes up to mid back or so. But my favorite way is like the pic shown on my site. Hang one line 3-4 foot off the ground and on a tree about 8-10 foot from your second tree. Hang form the second at 5-8 foot off the ground. Then just adjust the lines till the top of the hammock clears the second tree and the first has a slight rise from the bottom of the chair.

    Like this

    Then you can play with the lines till you find the recline angle that you like. You can also adjust the hight from the ground real easy, so you can get to your stove when dinner is ready. and if you scoot back from the channel point a bit it opens the chair up and dose not squeeze your shoulders and you have more room.

    O and a small pillow really makes the chair deluxe.

    Try keeping an inventory of suspension items, it's a pain to have to order one or two items from five different websites. I would buy webbing, rings, cinch buckles, and some cordage if you had them all for sale.

    Just visited the site- easy to navigate! 'question; are the "webbing suspension lines" and "tree straps" per foot, or each, or per pair? thanks! KM

    oops- never mind- it was explicated in the item descriptions...

    Like ws mentioned, also having tarp accessories that can be bought in one shipment would be good too.
    This would be handy for someone making a DIY tarp, or wanting to customize a tarp to their liking.

    Cord for ridge & corners. At least a couple choices.
    Figure 9s (small).
    Tarp line tensioners (possibly more than one choice of types).
    Stakes.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    I like to pay w/PayPal, and some sites capture all of my info from PP, so that I don't have to fill it in each time I order. That is very nice.

    I'd really like to be able to buy "snake-skins" and perhaps a whoopie sling.

    If you set up an account with Nite Ize, be sure to include their Spot Lit LED Carabiner Light. I love using these things as a "dome" light hanging from the ridgeline.

    You're already building up a great inventory of several items I want (just as soon as I get a little more cash in hand).

    Larger tarps, like the Warbonnet SuperFly, use a ton of lines. One thing i've found that keeps them all tangle -free is the Exped GuyLine Stuff Sacks. I believe the only way you can get them now is by buying an Exped tent. I think they would be easy to make and a very good product for you to carry.

    I know i'd buy a bunch if you produced them.
