    Mac Cat - anybody heard from Brian?

    Web site says he's back, but I haven't gotten any reply to an order or an email I sent him. Has anybody heard anything from him since he got back?

    Brian emailed me and told me he had a number of MacCat's almost finished and was going to get my deluxe out shortly. I actually put an order in while he was out (his order page said he was back and I missed the part on his home page that said he was out). Anyway, I have heard from him and his is working his way down the pile.

    I have yet to get an email response from Brian to my email(s) sent in early July. From all comments, he's a great guy, delivers a good product but has a lot going on in his life. I finally punted on that and ordered an 8x10 Cat Tarp from Speer. Got an immediate email response and it shipped as soon as my PayPal went through. That tarp has worked out great for me, it's good quality, provides a nice tight pitch and excellent coverage for around the same weight as a MacCat Deluxe. It's a night and day difference in dealing with someone who is focused on customer service and in the gear business for the long run. On the other hand, if you have the time to wait I'm sure that Brian will deliver a great product to you.

    Done Deal

    Brian emailed me yesterday and took care of everything. Can't wait to get my new tarp.

    Maybe I'll get lucky, too, before looking elsewhere

    Just as I was wondering if I'd get an answer, Brian emailed and invoiced me for the Deluxe which will be ready in about 2 weeks. Great! Now I can order the new hammock. I already have the two trees in the wooded section of my back yard picked out to practice and test. That reminds me... if it ever stops raining I've got to get my latest tarptent, a Rainbow, seam sealed and out of the yard.

    Heard from Brian on August 30 and he is working on a tarp for me and told me it would be ready in approximately two weeks.

    I got mine pretty quickly. If someone wants a MacCat Deluxe in a hurry, I'll sell it for $160.

    The two weeks seems to have been an accurate estimate since I received a notice today that it was shipping. Really looking forward to finishing off my system with the MacCat Deluxe.
