Paul,
looking for some info on the Bushman Hammock Chair...
-total weight for 1.1 and 1.9? recommended user weights for each?
-what are you using for suspension parts? lengths?
-any additional pics?

Thanks

Hey AC, and all

The chairs a pretty cool and make a great place to sit on a hike, I have one in my day pack and one hung up in the gear room.

1.1's are coming in at about 8 oz and the 1.9 would be about 2 oz more than that.

I have not found the top load limit on the 1.1 but I am recommending to keep under 250 - some stretch is not going to change the comfort on the chair like it would in a hammock. 1.9 would be good for most anybody above 250 or on the border, but again I have not yet been able to find anybody that would top out (tear) the fabric.

Suspension is a webbing buckle system, working on a cinch buckle system but for now tri-rings (so back up slipped half is required)are the order of the day with a girth hitched set of amsteel through the sewn channel ends. We are shipping it with 14' of webbing on each end- should be plenty most places.

You can set it up a couple of ways, the way I have pictured here: http://arrowheadequipment.webs.com/a...ts/show/928496

is the lounger mode, or you can put you feet up like this:

and adjust the recline by adjusting the straps.
If you hang it like a regular hammock you can sit like you would normally in any full size hammock. It is not quite big enough for a person bigger than a kid to lay down in.

Either the 1.1 or the 1.9 pack down to about the size of a large grapefruit.

Sorry I don't have much else for pictures, the weather has kind of gone down the drain out here the past few weeks.

Let me know if there is any other info I can help with.

Thanks

Paul

Sorry, missed you the other day somehow. This is off the top of my head, but roughly 3 foot 10 inch bt 4 foot 6 after hems and channels. Thats a good bit bigger than the Bushmans chairs but it lets you do the recliner thing much easier than a smaller size would.
