    Vendor Durability and testing

    Here's a short video of my backyard bedroom and my setup that's been out for two months. Dream hammock Raven, simply light designs Trail tarp Panama hammock gear 30 degree econ quilts, and 2q zq underquilt protector. Amazing that this equipment can last set up this long.

    SLD sure does make some quality gear as does Dream Hammock. Does the hammock get wet in blowing rains?

    Had the uq protector on mostly, but when it did rain before all I got was some splash up from the ground. Even with the wide porch mode I was dry.

    You're right. Our cottage vendors make some excellent gear. I have a netless Dream Hammock with whoopies and a UGQ underquilt that I have used indoors for over three years. That's over 1,000 nights of use, and almost no visible wear. All I do is clean them periodically and hang them back up.
