7 more months later and they’re still holding fantastically. There even seems to be less wear than whoopie slings. You know on a whoopie where the adjustable loop meets the bury, sometimes the bury...

That is super useful! I am about half and half, depending on the night and how tired I am. I’ll sleep mostly on my back but at least one out of 3 nights I end up going fetal for at least an hour or...

I will definitely! I think lead times are 5ish weeks, and it’ll probably be a few weeks until I order it, but I’ll definitely be back with pictures and a brief write up in case anyone else with a...

Awesome! Exactly what I was hoping to hear!

You’re not kidding, I break a sweat just walking to the mailbox some days!

Thank you for the info, very much appreciated!

Hello everyone. Fairly new to UQ’s, I have a few cheap amazon ones that work fine here in Florida, but I’m looking to upgrade to an incubator from HG. My only concern is that I use a wide chameleon...

I really wouldn’t sweat it. The only time I get my setup perfect with no adjustment to the strap height is when I’m hanging in my backyard on trees that I’ve hung from a thousand times. You’ll get...

I’ve been using mine heavily for about 7 months and have had 0 issues.

I love the tieouts on my chameleon. Especially the short ones on the sidecar. I have the wide body chameleon and it not only helps keep the net out of my face but it also contributes to the overall...

The new story is much better, it was hard to watch that first one, got a headache from all the face palms

I’m experimenting with micro S biners now and like it so far. I have one end of the s biner clipped onto the locked brummel of the line. This helps me be a little more lazy and gives me the option...

Strongly agree with this advice. Especially the adjustable structural ridgeline. Structural ridgelines are especially useful when first getting used to setting up the correct hang angles. Then it...

I’m working with a silnylon superfly so shock cord is almost a certain necessity. Right now I just have 1/8” loops doubled over and larksheaded onto the D rings and the lash it larksheaded onto...

I haven’t had any problems with insects on my double layered chameleon since spraying it, the suspension, and the bugnet with permethrin, however I will still find spiders on the outside of the net...

If you don’t want to backsplice it, an option I’ve seen is dipping the cut end into “tool dip”. Basically the same concept as the superglue already mentioned by others except the tool dip will be...

That sounds to me like it would cover all your bases. Also if you decide later that you don’t like the continuous ridgeline (like I did) you could use 2 shorter lengths of lash it with the nama...

So if your tree distance is such that your suspension is hung a fair bit higher than your tarp RL, do you just let the suspension bump into the guy lines and just not worry about it IÂ’ve or do you...

Just wondering how you all secure your tarp to the tree, with the V shape that provides room for your suspension to pass through or just a straight line that can sometimes bump up against your...

Haha it’s great! Another idea in parks that don’t allow hammocks is a ton of helium balloons. That one guy strapped some to a lawn chair and made it a few thousand feet I think.

I spoke waaay too soon. The day has finally come!

For me, the superfly is outstanding. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and installed the “side buckle release” door mod, and I absolutely love it. The quality and function for the money is just...

I strongly agree with this, it’s exsctly what happened to me. Within a month of buying cheap stuff I started upgrading immediately. Now my cheap stuff is my “beater” gear that I use when I don’t...

Dang tootin! It would be awesome if they started installing those geodesic half dome jungle gyms.

Here in my part of FL they are pretty much already completely banned. IÂ’ve never gotten a fine or anything like that, I donÂ’t know if some areas do that or not, but i operate under the belief that...

How is that HG incubator working out and fitting with the chameleon so far? I’ll be getting a new UQ in a few weeks (if I can ever get this new work project going) and I’m trying to decide between a...

I’m finally selling my duplicate SMR stratos system on fleaBay right now. Just wanted to make a post here in case anyone is interested. I don’t think I’m allowed to post a link but just searching...

Super thanks to curlymaple!!! Absolutely perfect for what I needed! Killer craftsmanship and materials, even came with a mini binder!! Thank you!

It’s a new experience for you, so treat it like an experiment. Don’t try and narrow it down to as few items as possible right away. Bring some extra insurance along so you can mix and match to see...

Thanks, there is a ton of great gear on here! I’m definitely going to be picking up a few things I see already. Do you know how this new river underquilt fits a wide chameleon? I’ll be in the...

These are all excellent recommendations. I’ve thought about getting a couple of 2L dry bags and attaching microbiners to the nylon webbing loops at the ends where the buckles usually are, and then...

I gain not being harassed by the project manager for having lines dangling around while doing something that I’m technically not supposed to be doing anyways.

I hang at different places for work pretty often, usually office trailers or job sites with concrete slabs, plywood decking, or other flooring that can’t be staked. Sometimes if the crews have left...

Anybody have a recommendation for a small stuffsack that can accommodate a couple of stakes and the 2 shock cord tie outs included with the chameleon? Looked around on dutchware but didn’t see...

I really like this reflectix idea. Is it still as effective if used between the layers in a double layer hammock?

Guys, thank you so much!! This is amazing, I really appreciate it. Looks like I have a lot to learn when it comes to staying warm, this might be the first time I feel lucky to live in FL haha. I...

My wide, double layered 1.6 Chameleon arrived today around 2pm. Spent about 30 minutes playing with it, getting it set up in my home office, testing it out... at some point I fell asleep and slept...

I am always so impressed browsing the diy category. That thing looks pro. Great job!

Looks awesome, the footbox contrast really makes it cooler imo. I wish I could sew...

I like this idea, thanks for the post

Awesome, thank you for clarifying that for me, I probably could have found it if I looked hard enough, but like you, I more than likely won’t be using a pad (live in FL, almost never gets cold enough...

Just got the tracking number for my double layer wide chameleon. I wish I could go into hyper sleep for a couple of days like they do in sci-if movies, and wake up when the mailman comes. I haven’t...

I have this system, I love the tarp but haven’t used the bugnet much. It has a lot of convenient features, and it is a little on the heavier side, but not enough to be a deal breaker for...

My favorite right now is the Sierra madre research Pares. Might be a little too stretchy for some, but it feels like a cloud to me. They’re underrated imho. I have a chameleon on the way, should...

Looks awesome! I’ve got a double layer chameleon coming next week, but I’m curious to see how the layers are sewn. I’ve seen dutch’s Video where he shows that it accepts a pad between the layers,...

Hiya fellow swingin danglers. I’ve been living in southeast FL for about a decade so needless to say, I don’t have much of a need for low temp rated gear. I normally use a full length 40°...

Ive been testing out the locked Brummel method for about 2 months now and it seems like a perfect solution to what I was looking for. I read elsewhere that someone made a daisy chain by passing the...

Just wondering if anyone knows about any strength testing or has any experience with these methods of daisy chaining a length of amsteel. I am inclined to believe that individual continuous loops,...
