Thankfully this *was* the backyard setup

Everything seam sealed now

Thanks everybody for the thoughts!

This was just an impromptu backyard setup. Will absolutely tighten up the tarp, and I have since seam sealed it.

Hoping to go out proper next week but might...

You know what? I took it all down and it's been a week, but I do believe you're correct! I think the pole was NOT through the orange loop. That would explain a lot [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
...

I took a better look after removing the hammock. Definitely some leakage through one portion of the seam, so I'll be sealing it all from this point forward. Never considered a water break on the tarp...

Thanks! The tarp is not as (please forgive the comparison) circus-tent as the picture makes it appear, but yes there are a couple vertical inches from peak to center. Attached it to the extender just...

That's where I am, and apparently the Portland airport just south of me is setting rainfall totals for this date. Could be a combo of factors for sure.

Around 60, no fog, but steady rain for hours. Suspect the seam wasn't as waterproof as advertised and I should tighten it all up for the future

I'll have to play with it more. Getting the extensions to stay vertical, let alone leaning away from the stand, was difficult. Nothing holding the extender except the small strap device at the very...

I almost used the pole mods and *definitely* would have had that flat section. Know what you mean!

Hmm. Good question. I don't see condensation elsewhere on the walls so I think not, but it's a thought. Maybe it's subtle but was able to collect and drop where the inner peaks were touching?

Love how the photos were rotated for uploading.

Haven't been able to get out in any of the gear I went nuts buying last year, but finally set up in the backyard yesterday using a Tensa4 with tarp extenders and a Dutch winter xenon tarp. Seam...

(just FYI - per the sales forum rules you need to be the first to reply with I'LL TAKE IT or you risk losing out despite your PM being sent)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your description, but I believe the orange screw is supposed to angle slightly away from straight up, with the head pointing away from the stand.

Otherwise make sure...

Anybody have a tiny Suzuki they're not using?

Thanks, everybody!

Just ordered directly through Tensa. Very pleased to give directly to the manufacturer!

Anybody know the fastest delivery on these? Direct through Tensa? Dutch? WB?

Decided I'm ready to buy but may want to use it late next week.

I knew you folks would know what's up! Thanks!

Look for these soon in the for sale forum, perhaps! [emoji2369]

Howdy. Bought some used gear on eBay (1.0 hexon netless hammock billed as Dutchware, but there's no label so who knows?) mainly to get a second set of straps and beetle buckles on the cheap so I can...

Girlfriend brought home a similar backyard stand, not knowing the difference between our Bolivian rope model and a proper camping setup. It was an $8 garage sale special.

Just for fun, and because...

I'll take it (the Tato stove)

You can absolutely search the old for sale forum (the one with the closed sales) for Thunderbird to get a sense of what they went for in the past.

I'll take it if things don't pan out with the first buyer.

Welcome!

I'm in Vancouver (WA) and echo the above on getting the long tree straps. 12-15 ft should work. Dutchware has light ones with great hardware, and Bend's Meyerstech on eBay sells long...

Ah, got it. Thanks!

Anybody know if Sparrow and Raven overcovers are swappable? Put the Raven on the Sparrow, etc?

I'll take it (the Raven)

I'll take it (the ridge creek XL)

Hey there. I'll take it!

Edit: PM sent

Agreed. Beetles and straps have quickly become my go-to for any hammock. Easy and quickly adjustable. Can go slightly lighter with a pure knot system but for me the paltry grams are worth it. Not...

Understood, and thanks!

I haven't been able to find an answer on a forum search, but this thread is a monster so maybe I missed it...

I know the Tensa team is split between Oregon and California.

Is your warehouse in...

Unclear if there's anything left on this deal, but I'll take it if there is!

(I know others claimed some when this first posted and I'm happy to get in line behind them)

Perhaps a dumb question - was this their bridge hammock quilt?

Thanks - funds sent!

I think you mentioned this on an earlier post, but what's the weight on that tarp with the pole?

And is IS a center pole, right? I guess I shouldn't assume!

Ok ok. I've been debating it but I just bought a WBRR and think I'll need a longer tarp. I'll take that SLD tarp with the center pole.

I just bought a WBRR on the black Friday sale and can't yet help with the specifics of this hammock, but I've used both of the methods suggested above to hang (biners to a daisy chain, beetles) and...

Oh whoa. I didn't see the tensa discount last night. In the process of buying a house and wish I knew for sure if the trees were spaced correctly. I should have considered my hang needs as a...

Whoops. I see I also got the wrong price on the RR (80 vs 75%). That's what I get for shopping at midnight [emoji38]

You're not kidding. I was in for a Thunderfly and somehow a new Ridgerunner landed in my cart. Must've slipped.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was a useful bump and reminder. I forget about the quality at this price point. Adding to my future purchase list!

What color is the Amok set?

(oh... And a sale on beetle buckles and spreader bars so I can convince the GF to hang with me)

That's fantastic. I believe I've seen the turtledog stand discussed around here. I'll have to dig further. Thanks for the rundown and parts list! Your work looks great!

Agreed. The wording on the Dutchware tarp page made it sound like sealing is only needed for the optional pull outs.

That's fantastic. Did you wing that stand or was there a design from the threads here (or elsewhere) you were following?

I'll take the REI pack, out of sheer curiosity about the mods if nothing else.

If you don't sell the ULA I might change my mind and upgrade to your *extremely tempting* deal but for now I'll let...

One final bump for Thanksgiving. Or something?

And now so do the rest of us! [emoji38]
