Paha Que Wilderness Single Hammock (pseudo spreader bar type)

[halfastronomical]

Has anybody saw these? It's a $50 dollar pseudo spreader bar design. It may be worth a look, but I would like more info.

They also have poly tarps for 30-40 bucks according to size.

I may hit them up for a tarp to try out for the kiddos. The hammock is a little on the heavy side, but looks interesting.

In case you're interested, I asked them about the tarp sizes a bit back since they don't list them. Was told the "single" is 144"x78" and the "double" is 144"x102".

I came across these on a site Friday for $25 and $30 (with $6 or $7 shipping) respectively, so ordered a "double" to check out. Came Today, so figured I'd post the other basics for anyone interested since there's hardly any info when searching.

Material is a light grey fairly thin coated polyester (not ripstop). Stitching is good and no defects noticed just pulling it out in the living room. Seems pretty nice.

Has tie-out loops on the corners with guylines and "3 hole" tension adjusters tied on and long webbing straps sewn onto each side for hanging up. The tree straps have a loop on the end with a lightweight biner and "daisy chain" loops along the rest similar to ENO's hammock straps. Not sure how well that'll work on a tarp, but can always just tie it or shorten the straps into loops.

Stuff sack is sewn to the tarp. A separate stake bag from the same material is included containing four simple aluminum stakes and four more guylines with tensioners.

Weight for the tarp, attached lines, carabiners, and stuff sack is 26.3 ounces. Stake bag, stakes, and spare lines add 4.3 ounces. Just stuffed in the sack without squeezing it down more, it measures about 10.5"x7.25"x5.5" packed.

Hope that helps anybody looking at 'em. Not a bad deal IMO.

ETA: Just noticed that the measurements on the tag are 122.74"x 102". Haven't measured it, but the tag is probably more accurate than the info I got from CS earlier. Also failed to mention, it had a Paha Que catalog stuffed in the stuff sack and a registration card stating a lifetime warranty.

ETA 2: Curiosity got the better of me. Not exact as I drug it into the shop and measured with a 12" square along a fold line but I got about 138" from strap to strap and probably had a couple bunched spots so it's pretty close to 144" length if not right on. Guess the measurement on the tag was measured from the tie-out loops.

Looks pretty legit. The website is definitely lacking in information on specs and such though.

Something different.

I'm amazed that anything from them is reasonably priced!

There is two of them up on Geartrade.com for an even better bargain.
Check it out.

Fascinating. it looks like a hybrid of spreader bar hammock and standard gathered end hammock....I wonder if they looked at the "mini spreader bar" hammock design thread.... whats interesting is that it is NOT like a bridge design at all.....hmm. kind of resembles this though;

upon further inspection;



it looks like they copied the design ideas of the above hammock body, and enlarged it and deleted the stand part.....

It looks to me like it would prevent you from laying on the diagonal.
