Last week I ordered my first set of whoopies and an adjustable structural ridgeline from Jared at Simply Light Designs. It's the first time I've ordered from a cottage vendor as I'm new to hanging. My order was processed lightning fast and shipping was free. There was even a nice little note in the package. Check out Jared at www.simplylightdesigns.com, he'll treat you right!!! I can't believe these things hold me up as I'm 6'3" 290
Always great to hear of the positive experiences with the cottage vendors here.

I also ordered from SLD recently.
Great experience. Great prices !

Same here. After receiving my Trail Haven tarp I ordered some Whoopies, Ridgeline, Straps, Amsteel and Shock Cord. Same great service and communication as the tarp order. I think Jared gets it.
Now I'll need to outfit/upgrade my wife. Um, correction, not meaning to upgrade my wife just her gear.... I'll definitely go through Simply Light Designs again for her new stuff.
I'm not as well versed at hanging as some of you folks out there but I've been unhappy with some online gear purchases in the past. As one poster noted above it's good to know there are good cottage suppliers out there like SLD.

Sam here. I ordered a set of polyester straps from Simply Light via ebay. Very pleased with the product, price and speed of shipping.
Just bought my wife a silnylon tarp from them, to shed some weight from her Hennessy. Very nice work and it included the ridgeline, stakes and tie outs
I was the lucky guy to get the 1st Trail Haven 11 Tarp a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I've also bought various sil-bags and a ridgeline from Jared. Great communicator, fast shipping and a first class product. There's some more things I'll be looking for in the future and I know where I'll find them.
