Be Jealous be very jealous

[CLANKBANG]

So a few weeks ago I decided to order enough gear to get me through for a long time..including clips, ropes and shock cord. I'm a whoopie hook kinda guy so got stuff to make a whoopie hook suspension.

Meanwhile I (and by "I" I'm saying there really is no denying that it was my own doing) ripped one whole set of my recently ordered Straps.
I told him over and over its was my fault (just wasn't paying attention to what I was doing) but dutch insisted on replace the straps for free!!!.. I thought to my self Whoa!; but gratefully took him up on the offer..

We then got to talking about what I prefer as far as his equipment.. I had stated that I would like to have a Figure 8 instead of the whoopie hook. This I wanted to do this so I would have a permanent whoopie strap system. I know now that's silly because the hook holds in place just fine to keep connected.

We started to discuss all the different combinations of options that he had available and his suspension biners came up. I looked them up and said (in passing) that I could think of 101 uses for those..

Well my first shipment arrived then two days later another shipment came in. It had biners the [B]7' foot straps instead of the 5' I originally ordered[B] (because agian in passing I mentioned that the 5' straps were actually too short for me) I never dreamed he would just send me the longer ones.. I Would offer to pay the difference but I know he would refuse...

I'm sure I'm forgetting what else he put in the box but it had to cost as much as my original order (which was a lot); and it was all free..

The pic shows some free stuff as well as what I bought.. I have even more dutch gear hiding on my gear,..

I'm pretty sure I can quickly find a use for everything and I mean for far more than just hammock camping.. I have some Land Cruiser junkie buddies that would go nuts over those biners.

BTW Those coiled straps are sets of two (so four in total)..

Thanks a lot Dutch!!!

Dutch seems to be one of the nicest, most genuine people around, and I am very glad to have chosen to give him my business, even if all I ordered was a couple Stingerz

I am jealous. Very jealous!

Very jealous, I think you should have doubled the order though, you will put all that to use very quickly and find yourself wishing you had more!

It is rumored he is also the greatest hiker of all time.

a while back someone came up with a phrase for what the OP described...
DFTW (Dutch For The Win)
No doubt he provides some great gear and even better customer service.
Long live the HF cottage vendors!!!

I was a relative newly elevated camper when I attended my first group hang this January at the 501 shelter of the AT. I met Dutch there before I was really aware of DutchWare and it's addiction. I can verify that he is really very nice and generous. I would say more, but I've taken the 501 oath "what happens at 501 stays at 501". If you can make it to one of the MAHHA's Dutch cooks a mean breakfast.....for everyone!!

That would be pretty great, if I can just make my way to the east coast

I already wish for more.. I just like holding it.. Its so small and light!

That's a lot of Ti. I'm not sure which I like more, my dutch clips or the tarp flyz.

Just ordered some dutch clips. Soon my jealousy will be fulfilled by my own shiny Ti :-)
