Super glad to hear you're enjoying it. A *lot* of research and development went into just the planning of it so there wouldn't have to be a million iterations, each with some small upgrade or fidget....
From our other thread:
For what it's worth, anything plastic or any hangles you've bought mean you've been having an affair with TATO Gear and you didn't even know it...you dirty thing, you.
It bears mention that the prices are now changed to reflect MSRP. The prices that were previously available were for early bird Kickstarter/Pre-order backers.
Long story short, if you were an...
Sorry for the radio silence on the stands, y'all - we had a big deal in the works (as you can now see) and weren't quiiiiite ready to let the cat out of the bag.
Thanks entirely to the support of our friends, family, and customers we here at TATO Gear are proud to present you with some exciting news.
Moving forward, all TATO Gear products will be...
We had a couple of folks contact us that have pulled a little too hard and too far when sliding the lower portion of the leg out and pulled the lower leg guide out of the bottom of the upper leg....
Yes. I will send you some info hopefully tomorrow on this.

It seems we underestimated the amount these would shift around in their bag and the Velcro straps that hold them together while folded. We have had the one unit that has had some damage to the powder...
Just a note: That's TATO's personal hammock. These things were designed not specifically FOR Ridgerunners, but definitely with them in mind. We absolutely wanted people to be able to use whatever...
We have.

You should! They'll be going out in batches due to the bulk and sheer numbers, but it's safe to start looking for shipping notifications starting tomorrow.
About half and half. You'd actually probably be surprised at how many backers are in for both the festival and the camping stands - there's a surprising amount of overlap between "festival attendees"...
Thanks, and it seems like you get exactly the point.
We absolutely get that people are frustrated, and justifiably so. However, I feel like it bears mention that with crowdfunding, you're not...
They'll work with any 11' hammock if you got the 13' pole.
No news is good news in this case - we're assembling parts and getting ready to ship.
Again, no news is good news. Feel free...
Trust me, we plan on you being able to use them for years to come. There's a thing in the industry called planned obsolescence, which basically means "eventually, we want you to spend money on a...
Carrying bags are planned, but aren't the priority.
Where we stand currently:
We got the poles back from the anodizers, and they're pretty terrible.

Huntington Beach State Park is an amazing state park on the coast of South Carolina. As members of Palmetto State Hangers,...
We'll be there again this year! We always have a blast at Palmetto State Hangers events.
I feel like giving something away...something for everybody.
I'm gonna make everybody a winner, or at least 10% of a winner.
As of this post, TATO Gear has 1,102 likes on Facebook. That's a...
Well, we thought we had the supply chain issues smoothed out after the FIRST TIME we got the wrong material from this vendor. After they sent the wrong material TWICE, we're hoping the third time's...
We get that, and we're sorry we didn't touch base here sooner. Truth be told, we don't put as much effort into hanging around HammockForums as we used to, so threads like this sometimes fall to the...
To be fair, vacation isn't the problem in production. It's one of our component vendors. We got the leg and ridge poles in on time and perfect, but the plastic for us to make the plastic components...
These are for the Kickstarter campaign and the pre-order stands. How late were you? I can try to give you some sort of idea.

Nailed it, Ratdog!
We're deep in the throes of production and on course for late July as promised!
As far as taxation goes, we'll look into it. I'd imagine that our commerce voodoo...
We are way ahead of you. We will be making tripods and ridgepoles available to make combo setups along with the hardware to hang multiple poles from a single tripod.
We had a very successful launch with this kickstarter thanks to all of you guys and gals. We have decided to continue our pre-sale of the stand for 2 weeks on our website as kickstarter doesn't...
We will be at the Spring Swing this weekend at Huntington Beach State Park. I'll try to get a little video up. Thanks
We have had a great show of support from hammock forums for this stand and just wanted to give a giant thanks to everyone. We have 5 more hours left on the Kickstarter and look forward to closing...
We will be at Huntington Beach State Park this weekend in SC for the Spring Swing Hang. These go off Kickstarter tomorrow night though.
Thanks You!!
67 inches is the highest and that will adjust down with the leg adjustments.
We've added a some international shipping to Canada, Europe and Australia on these. Although not cheap in my opinion, it's the cheapest rates we could negotiate.
...
Your exactly right about drip down the pole. If it's going to rain you can rig it under the pole. It's set up to be used both ways.
Like I said in an earlier comment, we had a deal in the works to secure our success. Thanks for everyone who has pledged.
Thanks. We will release some press releases. We have found a couple of places to do so. Does anyone know where we can submit press releases?
We will still move forward with this project even...
The only part that is interchangeable is the very top block on the two tripods. Everything else is different. We engineered the entire stand to be exactly the right weight capacities and the poles we...
We really wanted to do international on these but the weight is posing the problem of shipping costs. We are still looking for options to make these available abroad after the Kickstarter.
I would like your feedback here as I don't understand what the comparisons are you're referring to. Thanks
The camping model will more than likely come in retail $250 - $260 after the Kickstarter. We won't be shipping these from our website any sooner than after the Kickstarter units ships in July and if...
As our festival stands aren't selling as well as the camping stand we raised the 1st run quantity to 75 units. We are almost halfway through our Kickstarter campaign with 16 days to go and are 62%...
If anyone in the Uwharrie National forest area of NC wants to come out and take a look at it we are setup at The Yates Place Campground
Yeah, my daughter is kinda short and she's standing on a hill. Maybe these will help.

We also have a new website just dedicated to the stand if you would like to check it out.

Sorry for the delay. Here's a couple of pics.

Sent you a PM
Yes, I'll be using one of the new stands to sleep in.
I wanted to thank everyone who has pledged so far. We are 44% funded. I know we will make this project happen!!
Dangit, hate I didn't see this one. I could have made that.
I may have an opening to attend this on Saturday. Not quite sure about directions though. Google maps is showing me Dusty Level Rd., is this right?
