The Kickstarter was fully funded in less than 10 minutes. Having seen this stand in person and in action. This is a must look at. @ hammocks sleeping side by side under the same tarp. Bridge hammock compatible. Bonus items from Dutch and JRB.

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.”

Very cool, but well out of my price range. Look forward to seeing one in person some day. That said, most hangs in this area come with plenty of trees.
I was able to get one at the early bird price of $649. After seeing the Cricket at the PSH Fall Sprawl, I started saving up for it, but decided to go with the Hive instead, given that it will fit my bridge hammocks. I may also spring for the Dutch tarp made for the Hive, if I can figure out how to come up with some extra cash. May have to sell a hammock or two first!

Actually had a Cricket in my cart when this Kickstarter came up. Less money, two hammocks, AND fits my longer hammocks and my bridge? WIN!
Now I'm just sad I won't have it in time for MAHHA ...

Thanks for posting this! Spent a lot of time thinking about it but finally got decided to go for it (and got the go ahead from my better half). Really excited for what this could open up for car camping especially as my kids get older. Or maybe even a hammock forum gathering in the future where all the trees are claimed.
Yeah, glad I saw this thread. Unlikely I’d have ever sprung for one at full price down the road. Been a while since I had to wait in anticipation of some new hammock gear
Never gave the Cricket consideration because I’ve been using 12’ GE hammocks for years, as much as I’d love a freestanding stand. Hive looks like a beast!
