Announcing my new NoGround (patent pending) trekking pole to hammock stand conversion kit.
I have decided to offer my first 10 buyers AND anyone who has already bought parts, the full conversion for $30/pole plus actual shipping.
Each conversion will contain:
1. Bottom extension pole (9") with proprietary socket, lower truss line connection, and removable ground spike (1). The extra length allows proper 30 degree hang angles for 11' hammocks.
2. Truss hub, with sizing inserts (1)
3. Truss supports, with truss line guides (3)
4. Upper truss line connections that clamps to the trekking pole below the handle (1), this will come with sizing inserts or in multiple sizes
5. Truss line (1.75 mm Lash-it)
All will come partially pre-assembled. The upper connection and the truss hub can be left on the pole while using it as a trekking pole.
Add ons:
Amsteel guyline (pole to ground anchor) 2 - 11 foot lines with Brummel loop in one end and finished on the other. These can easily convert to a UCR. $10/pr
Amsteel stake equalizing lines (2), long enough to equalize 4 stakes each. $7/pr.
Aluminum Y-stakes 9" (6). $15/6 stakes
These are pretty much rock bottom prices, as they don't cover much more than my current cost of new materials. After the first 10 are claimed (and the Beta testers) the price will have to go up to something that is worthwhile for me to produce. Figure between $40-50 per pole plus any add ons selected.
Each kit will come with instructions and anchoring suggestions.
I expect Beta testers can have their sets shipped by Mon Oct 21st. Possibly a week earlier if I can manage it. Other orders will have to ship after that. Because I only want completely satisfied customers, each conversion will have a 30-day money back guarantee (buyer pays return shipping).
OK, the fine print: Because of variations in your trekking pole(s) and the quality of the ground you are anchoring in, there is NO guarantee that the conversion is suitable for any weight or conditions. Remember, test first, hang safe, and enjoy your new freedom.
