The science of the perfect nap.

Did you know that the gentle rocking motion of a hammock helps you fall into a deeper sleep faster? It’s not just a nap; it’s a total system reset. No pressure points, no tossing and turning—just pure, suspended comfort.

Are you a 20-minute power napper or a "wake up and wonder what year it is" napper?

Trading winter gray for desert gold.

Just looking at this sunny oasis setup is enough to warm us up today. There is nothing like finding the perfect pair of trees in an unexpected place.

Happy Hump Day from the dunes!

If you’re feeling the mid-week slump, let this be your mental escape. We’re trading the forest for the vast sands of Erg Chebbi in the Moroccan desert.

Hammock camping isn't just for the woods—it’s for anywhere you can find a sturdy pair of trees (even in the desert!).

Who else is dreaming of a warm, sandy breeze today?

Two thumbs up for a perfectly toasted hang! 👍👍

There is nothing quite like the feeling of being completely "dialed in" when the temperature drops. From the DutchWare hoodie keeping the core warm to the premium Quilted Hammock and top quilt combo trapping that essential body heat, this is how you handle a January chill.

There is nothing quite like the silence of a frost-covered forest, but a view like this comes with a serious chill. may need a little better insulation next time.

Who else is brave enough to take on the deep freeze? 🙋‍♂️

Our History

The makings of DutchWare began in 2003, when our founder, Thom Ressler, also known by his trail name Dutch, thru-hiked the entire 2,200-miles of the Appalachian Trail with a hammock. During his journey, Dutch learned to take a minimalist approach to hiking gear and life in general.

Most commercial vendors, however, didn’t offer hiking gear that shared Dutch’s passion for stripping away anything that wasn’t needed. In response, Dutch started making his own gear. He created hammocks, backpacks, quilts and hardware for the hammock community.

Creating hardware for hammocks was where Dutch found his passion. He began manufacturing the Dutch Clip, which he invented to connect the webbing suspension around the tree. Next was the Dutch Biner, a 10-gram carabiner that connects the whoopie sling, a light and adjustable suspension, to a steel loop, followed by the Dutch Flyz, a no-knot, quick-connection device for hammock tarps.

Dutch’s most recent hammock creation is the full-featured DutchWare Chameleon Hammock, which is a versatile and modular lightweight hammock that adjusts to any location, regardless of where you find yourself.
