AMAZON ORDER FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PARTS & TOOLS
(1) PACK OF COTTON FLAT UNWAXED SHOELACES
Use: Goes on your hammock suspension close to the hammock for a wicking water break. Any shoelaces work, so long as they absorb water readily. Cotton, unwaxed, flat laces work best, and one lace will cover both ends of your hammock. Amazon has many colors available if you want to match your hammock.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HAS5S3O
(1) KEVLAR SCISSORS @ $12.53

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073GCKNJ8
(2) LATCH HOOK SPLICER SET @ $4.69

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EU0G4DM

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DGNCNR0

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM5XZFWM

NAMA GEAR ORDER
This part is highly recommended to make your tarp easier to use, but it isn’t required. It would be better if you just bought them from Tyson, because he usually has extra stock available so that we can all save on shipping costs.
(2) NAMA CLAW TARP POSITIONER/TENSIONER
Use: Easy to use replacement for a Prussiks knot. Slides like a dream and stays put where you want it to.

PREMIUM QUILTS FROM HAMMOCK GEAR
Advantages of Hammock Gear over HangTight
- Lighter for more warmth.
- Baffles are boxed instead of sewn-through, which eliminates cold spots and increases warmth.
- Calendared fabric prevents down from from escaping (HangTight quilts often shed quite a bit of down).
- Fabric has DWR water resistant finish that helps limit the ingress of water from splashes
- Draft collars at ends prevent wind from blowing in the head/foot
- Secondary suspension comes standard and helps prevent sag and cold spots
- Custom colors
- Length options available for tall and short people
- UL models have 950 fill power down, which packs substantially smaller than the down/synthetic mix that’s in the HangTight quilts
- Temperature ratings are known for comfort. Some feel the temp ratings on the HangTight are a little optimistic.
- Contoured, body shape design
