“If you are looking for a lightweight hammock kit, the Quicksilver gives any system some stiff competition… For me, simplicity is perfection. Some hammocks have so many tie-outs, guy lines, and storage pockets that it becomes a self-made booby trap with unused accessories. The Quicksilver system, in contrast, is streamlined, light, and simple. It’s ideal for folks who want the benefits of sleeping in a hammock, but would rather soak in the views of the outdoors instead of collecting shelves of “bling” to complicate the experience.”

Weight: 20.0 oz. + .8 oz. stakes included
The Quicksilver Storm Tarp is the upgraded version of the The QuickSilver Ultralight Tarp. It is 11’ x 8.5’ in size and constructed of 30D 1.1 oz sil-nylon. The storm tarp is a catenary cut tarp with high-visibility reflective guy lines, 4 titanium stakes and a stuff bag. It weighs in at 20.8 oz with lines and stakes, storm doors for truly foul weather and reinforced corner pockets to store the guy lines. The storm doors block the wind and offer a bit more privacy. Pull out lines attach to trees or vertical anchor points with a slippery sheet bend knot for no weight added suspension.

Weight: 2.1 oz. (per pair)
Two 10’ straps of 1/2″ MULETAPE®. Oh, how we love MULETAPE®. So, much so that we don’t even mind that you can’t get it in any color but white. We knew it had to be a part of our QuickSilver Hammock System no matter what. This 1250 lb. test material is made of lubricated low stretch polyester. The MULETAPE® joins to the QuickSilver Hammock loops with a quick, simple and secure Becket Hitch knot. This knot is a cinch to tie, allows fine adjustments to be made with ease and tears down with just a tug. We’ve tested this knot in wet, cold and hot conditions. It holds strong and does not slip. And no hardware means zero weight added and fewer opportunities for hardware failure leaving you on the ground in the middle of the night.
A word about proper usage: We recommend using tree straps (or, tree huggers) that are, at minimum, 1 inch wide. This is good practice for protecting the trees we hang from. Furthermore, it should be noted that MuleTape has a loose weave and it will snag on tree bark. For these reasons, we do not recommend it for use without tree straps.
Use with our Polyester Tree Straps.
