This idea seems to be catching on.
This is the 1st commercial application I've seen.
I hope it doesn't "fall through" for them! :lol:

It appears to be offered by the original inventor.
Patent was filed Aug 1992 by James B Applby.

I wonder if he has always offered this product or this is a new venture?

It would not surprise me if somewhere in the instructions were the words "not for use when vehicle in motion" because some people just need to be warned......

To Our Fellow Outdoor Enthusiast,

Have you ever been:

■Out hunting and you have to take a dump?
■Hiking and need to pinch a loaf?
■Camping in an area that has no latrine facilities?
■Out fishing and feel the need to launch a torpedo?

Should be a double layer with small pockets for handwarmers (or "cheek" warmers). :)

gotta wonder what the load capacity is on this fella... it would really suck to have it drop ya in mid- torpedoing.

this could be the answer i was looking for....

To tell you the truth i hate squatting in the woods. I always end up leaning uncomfortably against a tree.
In fact, i am not even sure how people go in the squat position!!

I did also see either here or on BPL an idea someone had of putting a strap around a tree and around your back so you could lean into the "sitting position", looked promising.

Can someone please puchase this "gear hammock" and do a field test/ review for me. Thanks.

Matt.

Yeah, but the weight would be lessening during use...

I can just see someone losing their footing and flipping head over tail...

Whoopies would actually be good if you were setting up a latrine facility for a remote camp, for adjustable height for the different users.

that bumper dumper made me laugh outloud. this is some funny sh, i mean "stuff". very interesting. this will be the type of gear that will catch on in about a year, although nobody will admit that they have one. I think a great name for it should be the call of duty, haha i said duty. sorry for all this i just couldnt help myself.

If they use coated material, it can double as a poncho.

Set the lines a little more vertical, and it's a dumper Swing! :scared:

I just know that someday, after a long days hike and tired and grumpy and dark out, I'll hang my hammock in the same spot used by someone with one of these earlier in the day!

I bet their marketing guy was ticked to see BIAS has already taken the name they wanted!

I just had a thought...if you're camping with your wife with one of these and you set it too high for her to comfortably use, can she once again complain about you leaving the seat up?

That is some funny shtuff.

I just look for two substantial tree branches that form a fork and have a seat.Then, hope they make it through till the end without dumping me.Sometimes you get lucky and find a cut off stump that has been hollowed out by a varmint and have a seat.

I realized that once it does eventually fail which all hammocks must do eventually.

It will not be pretty.

no need for the real deal- they use this stuff (soybean paste) for testing toilets. Maybe Shug could get some?

If "cheek squeeze" is a concern, consider the Cheek Spreader. I kid you not. :blush:

Hope this helps,

I'll bet that IF you affixed some Sill-Seal foam to that baby it would be toasty warm in winter, too! You could flip it over for cooler summer use!

Then I would advise using the hole for your business.

I notice that it is done in camouflage wouldn't that make it harder to find at night? I would go with orange and reflective tape...also help you know where not to walk.
