Dutchware
In 2003 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and learned to take a minimalist approach to my hiking gear and life in general.
I could not find much gear sold commercially that shared my passion for stripping away anything that wasn't needed. So, I started making my own gear, such as hammocks, backpacks, quilts and clothes. I especially enjoyed making hardware for the hammock community and soon was the inventor and manufacturer of the Dutch Clip (a clip that connects webbing suspension around the tree).
Since then I have designed several titanium/ aluminum hardware items to make for easy attachment points on a hammock suspension, tarp, quilts & more.

Grateful for This Table.
This past weekend we got the whole Dutchware crew together for a little Thanksgiving potluck. Good food, a lot of laughs, and a reminder of how lucky we are to do what we do.
Small Business Saturday hits different when you can look around a table like this and know it’s the community that made it possible. Every order, every share, every camp photo you tag us in… it all supports real people right here in Lancaster.
From our whole team, thank you for backing a small shop with big ideas. Your support keeps the lights on, the sewing machines humming, and the creative energy flowing all year long.
Happy Small Business Saturday and thanks for being part of our story.

Hey everybody, Dutch here.
Since it’s Small Business Saturday, I wanted to say something real quick.
When you choose to buy from Dutchware, you aren’t just clicking a button on a website. You’re supporting a small team right here in Lancaster who spends every day designing, sewing, and building gear we’re proud of.
Your support lets us keep innovating, keep making things by hand, and keep bringing new ideas to life for this community.
So whether you buy something today or just share our name with a friend… thank you. You’re the reason we get to do what we do.

Hello Everybody, It’s Dutch here, and I just have to say… the Dutchware Gear community is hands-down the best in the world.
Seriously, you all mean everything to us.
Now, some of you may have noticed that the past couple of days our website had a few hiccups (yep… oops 🙈). We were dealing with some unexpected website attacks, but thanks to our incredible team, safety was never compromised, and everything is now fully back to normal. They can’t keep us down, lol.
If you ran into any complications while trying to place an order, I’m truly sorry for the frustration. We appreciate your patience more than you know. We want you to know that we have your back like the Pack Back does when you need more space.
👉 To show my thanks, for the next few days (Ends 9/26/2025 at 11:59pm EST) , enjoy $5 Dutch Bucks on me when you spend over $30. Just enter code DUTCH5 at checkout.
And here’s a little teaser… we’ve got some exciting news dropping soon about a brand-new quilted product we’ve been cooking up. Trust me, you’re not going to want to miss this one. Stay tuned!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. You’re the reason we do what we do.
Thank you, Everybody!
