I've picked up two from this ebay seller (hoobub) -- one just a few days ago, another a few years ago. Both almost brand new with no problems or even fading.
...
Nah. $380 shipped (at the presale price).

Heavier than I'd like, but still kinda neat.
To be honest. I'm right at 300lbs and I overkilled my Dream Hammocks Thunderbird by a large margin.
Double Layer, outside layer is 2.3oz, inside layer is 1.8oz. It's way more than I'll ever need...
It's... it's a friggin' PosturePedic Hammock. Holy crap.
That's really kind of amazing and ingenius.
Ah, ordered last night.
http://dutchwaregear.com/continuous-ridgeline.html -- Yellow Zing-It with TATO Tarp connectors. Going to make hanging a thing of ease.
I'll take it for 35 shipped, PM me the details :)
All I can say is "wow!"
Randy, seriously, you make works of art. This is my first hammock and I'm overwhelmed with how nicely put together it is! Plus you made the process of waiting four weeks...
Mine still says it's at the local post office. Funny how being in the same state (within hours of each other) mine still gets delivered the same time as people half way across the country. :D
I'm really enamored with that, do you have a diagram/parts list for the SF version?
Sounds fatal.
Congrats though!
I plan on using method 2 except using the Dutch made CRL (with a hook and a wasp) and Tato connectors.
Hrm.
Now I'm concerned about using my Thermarest Z-Lite (non-sol, regular) pad with my DH Thunderbird in MO in June... :-/
Maybe the temps will be high enough I won't need anything underneath....
lol, I was just thinking the same thing. It's like a drug.
That's my baby, #934.
You're awesome, PapaSmurf

No real good reviews. Meh, pass.
... Yea....
Crap.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it... Or maybe they took it down already. :-(
It's okay. I have an addiction to shooting and cigars. Well, not so much an addiction to the cigars as an addiction to storing them in my cigar vault. Same with the guns.
*obligatory pictures of...
Same. I made at least three changes during my wait. And Randy was awesome about it all.
I'm glad for this sale. I needed a Pack cover/Gear hammock and I'd been waiting to get one. :D
It does look nice... I'm half tempted to order another one now.
Mine is being made THIS week, woo Order #934
That thread is exactly the route I'm taking
I tell you what.. I have been in contact with Randy over at DH several times, changing my order in the four week lead time they have and he has been more than helpful every single time. It's worth it...
I think maybe the biggest turn off for me is the color of it. It's pure white.
Yea, see... I'm not trying to bad mouth them, I just was wondering on their effectiveness vs a bigger tarp made of the same type of material. Is it just for ounce counters?
So I don't profess to knowing a lot... but back in 2011 when I first thought I'd start hammock camping I got a very nicely put together 10x5 silnylon tarp off of ebay from a guy who made them for a...
Oh no worries. I was sold on a Dreamhammock (and ordered a Thunderbird) the minute I PMed Randy and he was immediate with his answers.
I'm pretty sure Randy is going to make sure I have it. I made my order and he put in the notes that I needed it by June 20th at the latest (since my trip is June 23rd and I still need to learn how to...
You're the bomb. Really you are. And if we ever meet, remind me to bring you a very nice cigar. :D
Mmm.... Dublin, Ohio. :D
Thanks!
Woof, order #933 (can't link since it's not even live on the page yet)
Thunderbird double layer
2.3oz woodland outside
1.8oz (oh so soft) olive inside
10 ft.
Whoopies!
After a lot of reading through the forums and some great attention from the owner... I decided to pull the trigger and order a Thunderbird in 2.3oz woodland outside and 1.8oz olive inside.
The...
I looked at the ENO Doublenest too... I'm going to need the whole setup. A bug net, a sil tarp (maybe, I have two already and one is a 5x10 for hammocks), etc.
I was just looking at...
I'll be honest, I've always been a ground camper, but the wife said something to me the other day that made sense. "You love the idea of camping but you always complain and never want to camp"
