This is Dutchware's forum, the OP is Dutch, announcing one of his new product. In my opinion, this thread is not a discussion on how to find an alternative to Dutchware's new dyneema webbing. Please...

I don't have pictures on hand, but my inspiration, a few years ago, came from this video:

To convince you, take a small piece of your silpoly and hem the sides (simulating a corner). Then, sew the reinforcement and gros grain. Now, seam rip your work and look at it with a light source...

Three years ago I ordered a tarp and got it less than 24 hours later. That was from Scotland to QC Canada.

But, a few weeks later, I received the bill from Fedex, brokerage fees + other fees. It...

The updated zipper makes a huge difference. The zipper seems to be the same used on the Sparrow. Quite an improvement on the original design. That would solve Shug's problem :) .

The Raven has a one way separating zipper on both sides. They start at opposite ends. Standard, on a right lay whichever end, the zipper slider is at the left shoulder when closed. On a left lay, the...

So from your experience (considering comfort only), would you prefer HyperD 1.6 DL or 1.9oz ripstop nylon SL?

I tried a few different fabrics, but never tried HyperD. You have experience with the WB 1.7 single layer. How would you compare it with HyperD 1.6?

Between the fabrics I tried, my favourite is...

Do a search for Little Shop of Hammocks on this forum (menu Search Forum to the right of Forum Tools), you're going to find many good reviews.

James makes top notch products. If you take exchange...

Good point about the zipper on the Raven, I never thought of that. If the Raven had Dutch's zipper, would both hammocks be close contender for comfort?

I thought that the equivalent was the Raven which is symmetrical. Not exactly the same thing, but very tempting at $115.

So you're not Wookiless any more. Fantastic quilt.

Brandon has applied for a trademark on "Wooki", with no "e" at the end (https://trademarks.justia.com/869/71/wooki-86971378.html).

@Dutch, Good work.

One question on shipping. I'm in Canada, shipping is $32 ($6 to US) for the hammock. I also wanted the Beetle Buckle only for my wife's hammock, but it's $20 + $32 shipping, it...

@drsolarmolar, I'm also a backer (#34) for a bug-free Chameleon.

Fabric choice is always difficult, it is a personal preference for more or less stretch. If it can help, I'm at 163 lbs. I tried...

@backpkrmn, Great video, very well done. It was very interesting seeing all those options. Thank's for sharing.

Could you comment on comfort? I always have problems with heel pressure. You seemed...

I used the same plan. The length on the plan is 83" and I'd say the loss in length because of this style of end cap is at least 6 inches. Looking at your photos, I had the same result. In his video...

Nice job. Did you follow the plan for dimensions?

Before I made the first one, I went through numerous threads and decided to go by the general rule: height + 6" or 7" for length. Because of the...

Get a small piece from Dutch, hot cut the patch and glue it with Speed-Sew. Practice on a scrap piece first. Speed-Sew stays flexible and resist washing, amazing stuff.

I'm sure it will hold a...

Just a thought. I'm a long-time woodworker. Woodworkers make mistakes also and instead of trying to hide it, sometimes we enhance it and it becomes a feature. Depending of the location, you could sew...

The Wooki, out of the box, will fit any gathered end hammock with the same body length as the WB it was intended for. The RL length is not a factor. See this post from Brandon here:...

Reread my post.

atrane21 states: The shinier side is the PU side.

Alex (in email) states: silicon (shiny side)

I don't know personally Alex or atrane21, may be Alex = atrane21, may be not....

RE silicone side, I received this answer from Alex (makeyourgear.com)



I thought that the shiny side was silicon, so which is which?

So your final body width dimensions should be 45 - 33. Assuming cut dimensions on the diagram, I did a mock up of one end and the top edge of the end cap is 3 inches shorter than the spreader bar.

Adding a Thermarest defeats the simplicity of the UQ. I would try to find out what caused the problem.

Was it with the BB and was the quilt installed properly? Did you try with the traveler, you wrote that it fits great, in the same conditions?

I'm repeating myself, but you have misconceptions about insulation and heat transfer. I've been winter camping for years at temps down to -40 and few times colder and I can't see your points.

You...

I can recreate this problem if the quilt is shifted off centre to the right. The left edge of the quilt (entry side) should be flush with the hammock zipper or up to 2 inches higher after being...

The Traveler is basically a BB with not bug netting. So if you find that the Wooki fits great on your Treveler, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't fit on your BB. This is the thing you have to...

I bet they sent you the XL model. It seems to be one foot too long.

WB is going to replace it, but if you had both a 10 foot and 11 foot hammock (from any vendor), the ends could be whipped to fit...

The attachment points are not needed for a good fit. From what you describe, there's not enough tension on the quilt. If you have a helper, have him pull on the whipped end of the quilt when you're...

I have the updated BB and the regular Wooki. The ribbons match, but I rarely bother to attach them. The flop at the foot end is normal, it's been discussed before on the Warbonnet forum. Have someone...

Have a look, they have started production after years of research to separate the fibre mechanically. A new plant (in Saint-Tite, Qc, Canada) is in operation.

If you were cold in the low 30's with a 0* quilt, you had gaps. With the Wooki, you won't have to worry, no fiddling. You camp mostly at temps above freezing, if I were you, I would consider selling...

What do you mean by warmer weather? It doesn't make sense using a 0* quilt during the summer months, especially if you're a gram weeny.

Looking at specs, the Incubator standard is 26.4 oz vs the...

When I ordered my Wooki, I hesitated on the colour choice, my BB is green. I chose the same colour for the Wooki thinking that the quilt would look like it is built-in. I'm really glad I made that...

I think that 3 or 4 oz overfill keeping the same baffle height is way too much. 1 oz overfill would be more appropriate. The Wooki would be definetly ahead of the Yeti for comfort.

If you're such...

Brandon took it down to 25, that's quite a bit below freezing.

I've heard many times that someone wants to overfill to push the limit, i.e. go to 17 for a 20 quilt. I've never heard someone...

We're down to freezing at night in my area also. When it's going to get close to 20 at night, I'm going to be out testing the Wooki. Last year, I tested my 30* HG phoenix. I was comfortable at 20, so...

Interesting, was it windy?

@Rouskof, see Brandon's comment on the temp rating here:

I write this in the most positive ways, Warbonnet Outdoors has lost its cottage vendor attribute a long time ago. They are a small business with quite a few employees, and not operating from a...

I never tried to vent it that way, but I guess that it could work. For the warm summer nights a 20 quilt is way overkill, I use a light summer quilt during that period. Even a fleece blanket would be...

Somewhat off topic, but you've got everything except a Wooki. OMG the guys waiting for a video are finally going to get it.
