That's an interesting backpack they've designed there.
I'm also curious about the hammock. What's the actual material and strength of the 8 oz hammock? Bigger guys want to know!

The double I think at 12 ounces would be for us bigger guys. According to Brandons data on the WBBB website, I could use a double 1.0 BB, the one made in China and get by just fine. I am thinking he is not using anything lighter than 1.0, but I will forward this thread to Dave, the DP man.
First,
Thank you Mule for your unexpected kindness. You are a friend.
Second,
I'm thinking it is unethicial for dp to talk up his cottage business. Personal message questions are welcome or on www.dphammockgear.com there is a "contact" page for questions also.
Thirdly,
What a great backpacking chat site www.hammockforums.net is? I know I have enjoyed the HF site for a long time. In fact, way back, Mule kept sharing with me what a great site HF was and that I should spend some time with it.
Thanks HF as I have learned much and am still learning with HF's.

Trashing another vendor or answering every thread in the entire website with a sales pitch would be an issue, but I can't see where a vendor talking about their offerings in the Hammock Gear - Manufacturers and Services (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2) section is unethical in any way. IMO.
I'll take a look at your site. Good luck! :thumbup:
Many of us here on HF have been singing the praises of JRB and Speer and now many other great manufacturers for years. It's just our thing.

I checked him out and ordered a couple of quilts from him... Didn't see this until after though so I'm not sure if you get all the credit.
Looking forward to testing them out...

Oh, I don't get anything for this. I just believe he has some cool stuff. Two Quilts hugh? I will be looking forward to a review.
I know this guy. He is a relentless seeker for good ideas and good practices, and I wish him well. He will always deliver value for money. :)
My quilts came in today... Heck they beat my Hammock here. I got both a UQ and a TQ. The finish is top notch... very much a quality feel to them. I'm not an ultra light guy but I think these would qualify for that. They both have a stuff sack that is just the right size (not too big, not too small).
When my WBBB comes in and I get to go out for my first test hang I'll report back with my findings.
Thanks again... Ski

Can you post some photos? I am anxious to hear how they work and to what temp.
Yea, I'll post some pics when I get it all together... as a tid bit for now I will say that these are a little thicker than a poncho liner. There is a thinner fabric on one side and a DWR treated fabric (outside) on the other. Quilting seems very nicely done as do all the seams.
I related these to a ponch liner because I'm familiar with them... I was actually going to make an UQ with one. When I saw these I was hooked... These are also made with polyester insulation not down (This may not be for everybody but it's what I wanted).
