I have been looking to upgrade from my ENO entry level hammock system. It was between this and a blackbird XLT. This video sold me on the chameleon! I drove the 45 minutes to Dutch's shop and he showed me around himself. He took the time to setup the whole system in his warehouse for me. I'm still new at this game and learned so much from talking to him. I setup my system tonight and really love everything about it. So glad I saw this video when I did. Thanks!

Note - Denali's nails are pretty worn down, so we took the chance with him hopping in our Hexon 1.6 Chameleon hammock for the video. I wouldn't officially recommend it with a lighter fabric like this though. Particularly with the how much nail sharpness & weight can vary from dog to dog. Oh, and Sara was totally laying the wrong way during our asym demonstration, haha. ;)

As I was looking for options for the dawg... I came across a company called Cave Creek Hammock that makes what they call the "Pet Palace" its a bug net that goes over your hammock and has a floor. Weighs about 23oz. ( which the dog can carry). squareup.com/store/cave-creek-hammock/item/pet-palace Little pricey, but might be worth it to get out of a tenting situation and get more hammock camping in.

At least you have some green grass! Our snow finally melted in our yard yesterday up in northern MI. Last fall when I purchased a new hammock it was between the Chameleon and Dream Hammock. I picked the Darien Dream Hammock for weight savings, but I'll still give Dutch 2 thumbs up for the Chameleon. Great Review!

When I ordered my first hammock from Dutch I asked what fabric was best for my dogs nails. His first recommendation was the dobby fabric but I didn’t like the colors. So his next choice was the 1.6 argon. So far no rips or tears. I’ve had both hammocks in the 1.6. I also ordered a quilt liner so I could put my top quilts inside it to protect them from my dogs nails and dirt. It is also made from the argon.

You could always throw a winter sock on it at least. Not quite as tailored looking, but fits any hammock and is actually warmer than a top cover.

I'm a strictly a side sleeper, do you have any issues laying on your side with that 1.6? Also, how do you think it stacks up against the Darien in terms of comfort? Thanks

@sintax77 5 жыл бұрын

I sleep on my side more often than not in hammocks, and I sleep great with the 1.6. I think a lot of the comfort factor comes from the fabric thow & length just as much as design - my Darien is great, but it's only 10' and made with a stretchier 1.0 fabric. I've found 10.5' to 11' to be better for me, especially with side sleeping. To be fair, both are excellent well designed hammocks.

There comes a point where too many options are just a pain to manage. I have chosen to keep my trusty Hennessy hammock. I may go Dreamhammock for something lighter, but using mine; even with a net, hasn’t proven to be a problem for any configuration yet.

@sintax77 6 жыл бұрын

Hit!

@sintax77 6 жыл бұрын

I can respect that. I love our Chameleons, but for down and dirty solos, if I was pressed to make one choice - I would grab my Dutchware Half-Wit with cinch buckles. Dead simple, light, no real options. Throw it in the pack and roll. I like the Dreamhammock Darien as well. That thing was super light, but unfortunately, they discontinued the single layer 1.0 fabric option before I ever had a chance to try it in my preferred 11' length.

That's a bummer, indeed. To be honest, I really try to avoid it, but made a sacrifice for the video. If I was going to really make a habit of it, maybe a double layer Hexon 2.4?

I made a single-layer hammock from the 1.9 Dobby material. It seems to be some pretty tough material. We have spent 4 nights in it so far (we meaning the dog and I; she is about 40 pounds). I like that it does not stretch as much as other material and is very comfortable for both of us. So, maybe a single layer of the 2.4 Hexon would work.
