Good luck with it all - sounds like you have a good idea in your mind of how it will all come together!

I have done something similar - I removed the stock webbing strap, trimmed a couple of lengths off this, and used it to make a webbing loop through the channel at each end (just gives me more...
Welcome mate. There is a literal 'world'of experience here - in my experience asking a lot of questions saves you big $$$ in the end once you have the basics squared away ! Happy hanging !
I see - I've never seen a spreader bar there on the rope channel before. I'm not sure if this design would give you either extra head room or width - the Claytor is VERY big in both dimensions,...
That set up looks similar to one I used. The Claytor comes with a heavy duty bwebbing strap at each end - there is a sewn in channel for it to slide through so there is no need to tie if off like in...
...and just out of interest Meat Hunter, what mods are you considering? I've had a Jungle Hammock for a couple of years and have modified it a few times, so might be able to save you some time...
I've done 3 orders from Claytor - all arrived in 7-10 days (and I think one was even less than a week) - but I'm in Australia, they are in Thailand, so it's a bit closer to home for me.
Hey again J Hammock - don't be afraid to diconsider US shipping as it is usually VERY competive. Australia Post charges via the 'potential cubic capacity' of a parcel, whereas US post (and they have...
Hi BillyBob - I did a 'cook-off'' between the Claytor and Hennessy when I was getting ready for Borneo - basically hung them both in the back yard on a balmy tropical night in the tropics (ie high...
Hi mate,
Even being a big guy, it all comes to what feels right. I am just under 6'and 209 pounds, and have a Clark, a hennessy Deep Jungle and a Claytor Jungle. For my size, the Claytor is...
Hi mate,
There's a few Aussies here, which is great as in my experience it's rare to find another hammock camper when out trekking! I'm in the NT, and haven't seen anothere one in any of the many...
I did a couple of overnight hangs when I first got my Claytor just using the webbing straps it came with - they worked fine, but it was in our dry season in Oz when there was no chance of rain. I...
I am right handed, but prefer the zipper on the right - basically choose which side you want the zip on, and that lets you work out the head end. As with all things to do with hammocks, there are...
I've just returned from using the Claytor for 2 weeks in the jungle in Sarawak, Borneo, and it performed flawlessley. I had the only Claytor, with other trek members using Clarke Tropicals, DD...

I recently completed a 2 week trek in the Borneo highlands, which has a reputation as being ''insect central''. I treated my clothing (including hat and socks) and hammock guy lines with a soaking in...
I've had a Claytor for a couple of years and it has been a superb piece of kit. I'm about to do a 2.5 week trek in Borneo, using a hammock, and having a bit of spare cash decided to do a comparison....
Welcome Daimonian. I am pretty new to the forum, but have been Hammock camping for a few years now. I an in Northern Australia, so have a similar climate to you - and trust me the tropical set-up is...
So true ! I have owned 4 hammocks in my quest for comfort. Two I would describe as an almost perfect hang, one is "pretty good'', and one was not suitable. But as the chart shows...someone else...
I concur for any Aussies (or Kiwis) looking for DD products. I wanted a DD Tarp a couple of months back, and went to DD in the UK to order it. They put me straight onto Jeff at AMTC Gear, who...
Thanks Demo, I actually took the Clarke down just before my last post and packed it away, so won't have a chance to hang it up until at least next weekend. I'll measure the ridgeline then and let you...
Thanks KC and Demo for your advice. I have spend another day trying to get the Clarke to suit, but to no avail. I've adjusted the whoopies in and out, raised and lowered the anchor points on the tree...
I've had a Claytor Jungle model for 2+ years. As I live in the tropics it sounded like it would fit the bill for my requirements, and it hasn't dissapointed ! I've used it through both our cool dry...
Hi all. I've been using a Claytor Jungle hammock for the last couple of years and have been very impressed with it when out hanging. I recently gave into my curiosity and have just purchased a Clarke...
Great idea - I will be hanging this weekend so will give it a try !
Hi, I'm after some advice from members who have experience with hammocks in the jungle. I'm heading out on a 2 week jungle trek in Borneo in April, with hammocks being the sleeping setup. I will be...
I bought a 10th Wonder Jungle Hornet / 10th Wonder Cornelius tarp combo as a backup setup and and also for my kids. It is reasonably well made, however the interior finish could be better - a heap of...
