2nd Group Buy Dutch clip recipients:
I will spend this weekend prepping them for the vibration tumbler on Tuesday. If everything goes according to plan, I'll ship clips Sept. 9th thru 11th.
Look for a PM from me to all who ordered clips. I'll be sending you a PayPal account to pay for the clips.
There will be clips remaining that will get sent to the HammockForums store for those interested but not able to get in on the two group buys.
Some "thank you's" are in order.
To Randy Bunnell from Herr & Sacco Co. for water jet cutting the clips. To Jeff Lehman and Brian Leber from Wilton Armetale Co. for the use and supervising the operation of the vibration tumbler. To Dutch and the guys who thought up the clip idea in the first place. And to HC4U for running the HammockStore who will add the clips to the inventory for future purchase.

Payment sent as well. Goodbye 'biners!!!!!

You mean to tell me that Dutch clips will be sold at the HF store? And anytime I want a pair I just order them from the HF store? That means I don't have to wait for a group buy? That is just fantastic!!!!!

You know what? I did it again!! After almost 30 years of marriage and I forgot to thank my wife Donna for her work in this project. Not only does she peform all the zipper mods, but for this clip project she ran to the post office, got the mailing envelopes and labels, cleaned up my paperwork mistakes, and in the midst of it all keeps the piles on the computer desk in order. Thanks ZQ! Her Bday is the 24th, I think I'll do something special for her. :boggle:

Yup, I had to type it in manually to get it to work. I figured it was just operator error though......
Payment sent... Thank you!

I have gotten a few emails inquiring about the Dutch Clips that will be offered in the HF store. Just FYI, there is no waiting list. Once I have the clips in hand I will make the announcement to let everyone know they are available.
Just got mine today!!!

Going to try them next weekend with my son in the Great White North!
Thanks to 2Q, Mrs. 2Q (I know how important it is to have a GREAT organizer beside you), Dutch and the people who make them. You guys did an awesome job on these!

That is an incredable biner. I would like to buy some but I am having a language barrier. Do they have an english sight. The whole world should just speak spanish, it would make life simpler.
Never mind I found the english button.

See post #113 on this page. A stitch or two will keep them with the webbing.

If you don't want to lose them put a stitch in the webbing real close to the biner as described here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecAnqu8sWms).

On a more serious note, my clips arrived here in CA earlier this week. I can't wait to try them out (hopefully sometime this weekend!)
