    I lost 2.3 lbs in an afternoon...

    So I didn't have the lightest setup to begin with - ENO atlas straps, rings & biners for the hammock, the stock Hennessey straps, rings & biners for the tarp - but going with Dutchware tree straps, buckles, whoopies & a tarpflyz/zing-it setup cut the weight from 108.7oz to 71.85 ozs on my scale.

    I hung the hammock, which was way faster & easier than before and it all works great together. Thanks Dutch!

    Man, that is a good weight drop! And Dutch, with all that ti gear already, how could you possibly need to drop weight?
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.

    Problem is I ship it all out. I try to keep my own personal stock on hand but we run short and I wind up sending it to someone.

    Hmmm? The "Dutch Diet"...sounds like a good marketing campaign.
