Are you buying the regular drey or the drey LL?


I have a drey for sale if anyone is interested. Like new
 
I went with the LL and fleece also. I haven't tried the hammock yet but I find that being attached at the LL is more comfortable for me. It doesn't pinch quite as much. I'm considering upgrading leg straps. I one stick and rappel, those to little one inch straps are doable and I'm getting be used to them more all the time but 3 inches seems like it'd be niiccee.

I'm in Michigan, I'm considering going to the meet up 4-30 but if your in the area I'd be happy to let you try it

Ive got the wider leg straps and yes they are a huge improvement when one stick climbing! I find theyre actually more comfortable when using just the harness in a hang on as well.
 
I don't have any of the belts for the Drey. I ended up just pairing it with an ultra light actual rated climbing harness. The harness plus the drey weigh in at like 3/4 of a pound. I just hook a carabiner in through the main loops of the harness and then use that to get around branches. I am always hooked into both the Drey and the harness at all times.


Can you share photos of this setup? How did you attach the hammock to that harness?

I have the LL and climb with them. I tried the hammock with a Recon and then ordered the belt. Great to wear in.

I can take a pic later tonight but trust me it aint a feat of engineering. I just used the loops Dane has on the saddle pouch and a small bit of dynaglide and tied the saddle to the back of the harness. When I get out of my truck to hunt I can strap the harness on very easily and the saddle just rides in it's pouch on the back of the edilrid harness. If I have a really long walk I just store the whole thing in my pack and put it on at the tree. Try to post a pic later

Gotcha. I was wondering if there was a way to slide the hammock pouch onto the harness like it does with Dryad’s belts. From what I could see of the edelrid harness that didn’t seem to be an option. Your answer confirms that

You're correct. The edilrid is a total closed loop design (really kind of a closed triangle). The dynaglyde loops allow me to slide the saddle pouch back and forth along the back to the edilrid waist belt area.
 
Has anyone tried to DIY the hammock part? i would like to pair one with my kestrel but 160 hurts.
 
So I messed with my new LL the other day. I basically don’t even feel the leg straps. For fall arrest they seem like a good idea to keep. I loosen the fall arrest belt and leg loop area with a bit of slack, and use the hammock bridge as my only weight bearing part for comfort, with the other at the ready to catch me should something happen. I was napping in the sun. Quite nice. Need a knee pad on the tree or knee pads.

I do wear kneepads all the time, but I believe when I napped in my Drey, I just turned sideways to the tree. It was a breezy day and that was the best sleep ever
