I would love to have the Dutch setup for our explorer program. Any chance you would be willing to trade for anything?
I would love to have the Dutch setup for our explorer program. Any chance you would be willing to trade for anything?
can you post a picture or link the setup of the dutch? I am new to hanging and am looking at a DH but maybe will start off cheaper to get into my first set up.
Not a problem at all, here's a bunch of links to the products at Dutch's site, and some notes to give you a little extra info:
Link to Dutch hammocks. He's now only offering them in 10.5' length. The one I have is 11' which will give you a little more space and make it a little easier to get the proper (and most comfortable) diagonal lay
http://www.dutchwaregear.com/netless-hammocks.html
The hammock has a ridgeline I made myself from 7/64" Amsteel rope. It's set to 83% of the hammock's length, and you can adjust it about 12" + or - to fine-tune how the hammock feels to you. The ridgeline helps you get a consistent lay every time, and keeps the bug net off your face (and I also use it to hang stuff like my headlamp from).
Suspension is the regular 1" tree straps, with Dutch Speed hooks. Below is the links to Dutch's initial offering of the Speed Hooks, and the post where he discontinued them for a redesign (some rare people, if they didn't watch the condition of the rope attached to the speed hooks, could get a failure with the speed hooks so Dutch is trying to redesign them to be longer lasting in regards to how the rope is tied around the speed hook....or something like that. TONS of people still covet them and use them all the time though).

For the bugnet, it's called a Summer Sock in 11' size. One side is bug netting (usually the top), and the bottom is solid (lightweight) fabric which can protect your underquilt from splash-up during a hard rain. You can also switch the top and bottom so the fabric is on top which will help you keep a little warmer when it's cold outside.

For the tarp, it's the inexpensive, but not too heavy tarp that Woot! has on sale every now and then. Basic diamond shape.

$90 shipped CONUS. Cost $129 new + shipping + labor. (no splitting up - if you don't want it all buy it and sell what you don't want)
I'll take it!
I'll jump on the Netty. That's the color/size I've been eyeing up.
Sorry, my last couple posts answering similar questions this have been deleted from this topic...(ordered HyperD XL hammock from DH and extra wide HG Incubator though
Also, somebody asked me for pictures of the pine needle holes in the TarpTent. Here they are:
Penny shows scale. This is the bottom of the tent. The holes were so small I had to draw a circle around them to find them again to seam-seal:
Here's a picture of one of the holes. I had to hold it up to a lamp just to see it. Hole is the size of a small pine needle, and is seam sealed.
