  • We are honored to bring Turtlebug Hammock Stand into the world! www.kickstarter.com/projects/... Turtlebug is our brand new freestanding hammock stand that can be set up anywhere -- indoors or out. With an amazing 60 second set-up time, it's a no-brainer to take it EVERYWHERE with you! The impressively small pack size fits in your carry-on luggage, so we are very comfortable calling this a travel hammock stand. Turtlebug is our newest way to make tree-less hammock camping accessible to everyone. It also comes in 4 sizes! Whether you're a hard-core hammock camper, a casual lounger, or prefer a hammock chair, Turtlebug has an option for you. And check out the sweet mini Turtlebug for the little ones. The Kickstarter launches 2/22/24 at 8am MST (10am EST). Help us bring this project to life and make hammocking more accessible to everyone! #hammockcamping #hammocklife #hammockstand

    Wow! Absolutely LOVE this stand. I camp in a crua hybrid and a gathered end. The crua is my fave due to the flat lay. Will this stand be suitable for the crua hybrid at all? Thanks 😊

      Thank you. We haven’t used a hybrid ourselves yet but based off the measurements on Crua’s website it will work.

      That’s exciting! I will 100% be purchasing this stand! Very impressed with the ease and portability of it! Congratulations and hopefully a very successful kickstarter program for you! I’ll share and advertise it as much as I can on socials and through my rock climbing and hiking cohorts here in Brisbane!

    Are the sizes for adults mainly based on the ridge pole? If so, can the ridge pole be extended and collapsed so that it forms all those sizes? Does that also mean all the adult stands are the same size and height?

    • @YOBOgear
      @YOBOgear  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes, you can add and subtract segments to increase/decrease height and length.

    Question: Possible to buy one pair of legs and multiple ridge pole (lengths) for versatility?
    i.e./example: 1 pair of legs, a chair-width ridge pole, a full-length hammock ridge pole for camping?
    (or) are these only completely separate products? i.e. I must buy another pair of legs for a chair setup.
    Not clear yet on this question. I ask because there are three of us in the family (which would mean six pair of legs... yikes.)

    Im concerned about the regular type where i can just imagine the steel poles snapping and falling and hitting my head. Is there any risk of the poles in this turtebug or turtlefrog or turtledog hitting or falling on us for any reason? Thanks!

    • @YOBOgear
      @YOBOgear  Місяць тому +1

      The Turtlebug is way less top heavy than the traditional turtledog style stand. We designed the leg/kickstand angles to take a lot of the forces so we were able to make the ridge pole much lighter. This will greatly reduce the chance of the stand falling over. 😊

    • @YOBOgear

      Haha… at a glance maybe but if you study both there are many differences.
      The production model will be injection molded.

      @adrianmettz7463 4 місяці тому +1

      The hanging points are 60" off the ground, this gives you the desired 30* angle with the optimum sitting height. Nomad is not capable of using an underquilt if you are taller than 5'...and the turtlebug is selfstanding with a 13' ridgeline rainfly...no one has done this yet...it also perfects the compression angles so you don't lose height by having to suspend the boom.
