Hi Steve,
Always good to see small items reviewed and especially so when the Review is as thorough as yours. Edits below, in the standard BGT EDIT/Edit/Comment form. Because I'm asking for an addition, I'd like you to repost after revising, with REPOST-product name-your name in the subject line.
Cheers, Richard

EDIT: 50+ lb [BGT abbreviations are always singular.]

Edit: Are you sure? The copyright notice and "Contact Us" section use Dutchware Gear. Did you get this from a tag or other literature from the manufacturer?

### It is often made with polyester and generally ranges anywhere from 6 - 15 ft (1.3 - 4.6 m) in length based on the tree diameter a user typically finds in their individual environment. ###

### They may be purchased with pre-sewn loops, or the material may be purchased and sewn to individual specifications.###
Edit/Comment: Who does the sewing, the user or Dutchware? I'd clarify.

EDIT: quotation [There's only one.]
### If the buckles are purchased independent of the loops, ###
Edit: purchased independently
### I used the same 7/64 Amsteel Dutch offers for my DIY continuous loops.###
Edit/Comment: Looks like a garble here unless "offers" is a noun, in which case you might explain what they are. As a non-hammock camper I'm confused.
### FIELD USE & IMPRESSIONS ###
EDIT: Please add a paragraph summarizing your use, with temperatures and other relevant conditions and approximate total usage.
### I generally only use "straps and buckles" in the particular situations as they weighs more ###
EDIT: they weigh more
### I new these would be great for cold weather hangs.###
EDIT: I knew [The sort of misspelling a Spell Checker won't catch.]
### Feel free to check out that report as well! In normal situations I would merely larks head the continuous loop ###
Edit/Comment: From your text I take it that "larks head" is a term well known to hammockers. For us novices a brief explanation would help.
