Just wondered why your hammock isnt listed on the Hammock list here on this website? Do you have a web page yet? There was talk whether you will be making a full length zipper for your hammocks? Will you be at Trail Days?

Because it would put all the others to shame. :D
WARBONNET ON!
Are there any photos of THE warbonnet hammock?
Cannibal's gallery is a good place to start. He also posted a review of the warbonnet that is fun to read.Quote:

It's an impressive hammock for sure.
hey guys, i'm still around. last years trail days debocal is still having ramifications.
as for the eldorado, i'm working on it. tom actually offered me a licensing agreement for my version of the asym shape a month or so ago. we are trying to work out all the terms of the agreement. if we can't agree on terms, i've got a very similar non infringeing version that i wouldn't need a lisc agreement for and i would just go with that.
also, i am working with a local company here in fort collins who does contract sewing. i just had them make me a torso uq which i just got back. they sewed it together backwards, but it was their first attmept and the actual sewing looks good. hopefully i'll have some torso uq's soon. next is going to be the superfly. i'll order a couple rolls of sil as soon as it looks like they can sucessfully make the torso uq, which i feel is technically the hardest item to sew. they are small company so turnaround times should be pretty quick once things get up and running and they get the hang of making them. i'm also planning on having them make a double layer eno style hammock and a seperate bug net for it. but i want to get the torso uq and superfly going first. i'll have them start making the eldorado hammock as soon as the lisc agreement goes through (or falls through).
looks like i probably won't make it to trail days this year since it's in a couple weeks and i don't yet have any inventory, as for the website, as soon as i get most of the items into production mode the website will go up. as soon as i have the first items to sell, i'll post info here.
oh yes, the new eldorado has a full length zipper so you can throw the netting over the side when it's not needed, it's a good improvement. probably will also have a double layer option as well.
It's fantastic news that you're making progress towards product availability.Quote:

Sounds really good. I'm looking forward to seeing the new ones. I got to see Just Jeff's Warbonnet briefly at the Mt. Rogers hangout. Very nice.
A double layered Warbonnet would be awsome. I'd buy one if I had the money. I tell you guy are making me even more poor. Between camera and backpacking gear, i never have any money. *Sigh* my name is Kyle and Im a Gearaholic.
I will be bringing my Warbonnet to Trail Days this year. If anyone wants to see it the come see me. After using the Warbonnet you will not go back to a HH. I think Tom realizes this and that is why he is trying to make a deal with Warnonnetguy. He is scared and wants to get in on the action.
You've mention the hammock a couple of times. Any chance of getting some pics?:DQuote:

Agreed. It is quite simple, but simple is good.Quote:
