    finally

    Yes finally I bought my first Hammock.

    Drumrolls please... the Clark NX 250 Camo, they are shipping to the Netherlands so hope to get them in about 10 days.

    I have been a while on the forum now and have read a lot of stories from you guys and with the sales at Clark at the moment I just couldn't resist to get me one. Although I couldn't rather decide to go for the NX 250 or Flex 180 I choose the NX 250.

    The Flex would have been better to go camping with my son but I think the NX looked cleaner and easier to setup. So maybe in the future I go for the Flex. I loved the videos from forum member Philly with his son, he also is by the way from Holland.

    Now I have to get me some suspensions, I know I am going for the cinch buckles to setup my Hammock, I like how easy it is to setup.

    One thing you guys maybe can answer on is the suspension on the tarp, I read a lot about ridgelines etc but do I need some other suspension then the standard that is coming with the Clark or not?

    All info would be great.

    Thanks

    Yes, you should be a happy camper, you just bought a great hammock. I too use straps and cinch buckles, very easy and very secure set up with those. I look forward to hearing how it really works for you. Happy hanging.

    Hi can you tell me where you got your cinch buckles and straps? I am looking around to try to find a vendor that has it all. So I can get the shipment cost down.

    Straps and suspension

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Have to give ReadyStraps some credits, I ordered my suspension this weekend from Gary. Made to order, he shipped it today to my address in Holland, great service!

    Have to say from Clark I didn't get any answer until now, although payment was done this weekend. Send email but no reply, so will have to call them later on. Not what you expecting when you order online, no confirmation nothing. Only in my order history I can see I bought something

    When I have everything up and ready I will post some pics.

    Yes, I got them from Dutch. He hasn't got everything, but if he don't have it, you probably don't need it. LOL.

    Congrats on your new hammock! I dont own a clark, but have read enough about them to want to own one someday!
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    clark

    Just got in touch with Clark. Very help full and polite.

    They probably have a lot of work cause my email wasn't read yet.

    Anyway the hammock isn't shipped of yet because they are upgrading with the new poles, so no complains there.

    They are shipping on the end of this week or next week, just have to wait a bit more.

    suspension hammock

    Received my package today from ReadyStrap, very happy with the outcome.

    The straps look really good made, seperate packed in poly bags. A super suspension system, very quick and solid.

    And most of all a very good price, ordered two sets. When the NX250 works out I can order a second one for my girl
