Snakeskins and Big Mamajamba Tarp

I have had a few PM's regarding the sizing of the Hennessy Hammocks Snakeskins #4 on the Warbonnet Big Mamjamba and I wanted to post how they fit with pictures. I will post later on the Blackbird too. So here it is ... hope this helps! :)

Here is the Big Mamajamba:

It really doesn't look like that it will fit when it's all set up but when you packing it away it cannot be beat! ..(unless I made my own with no-see em).

All in all this Snakeskin fit my tarp easily! ... So go head and buy that Snakeskin you wanted..... it will fit! The Big Mamjamba is 11ft at the ridge line! :D:D:D:D:D

And the pics are where???

I'm trying to figure that one out right now ...lol..right now ....ugh ... Hopefully that worked? ahhh.... Yes ! ... :)
Got it !...

What is the diameter of snake skins #4? If I wanted to sew my own, how wide should the fabric be?

The #4 goes from 1 inch at the small end to 3 inches at the large end. As you can see in the picture there are 2 of them and they are about 6' long for each.
Hope that helps.

Nice tarp.
I love snake skins:boggle:

I love my snakskins. I have the same tarp in Spinn. Slippery and a little tricky to get started going into the snakeskin but once it is started, zip it slides right in.

Yep, I have my Spinn Mam in snakeskins too. Light!

I made my own snakeskins ......

Yep, when you order from Hennessy Hammocks all you have to do is put you want the number 4 in the comments section. I originally ordered the #3 but after I was done I sent an email to them to make sure that my order # changed to the #4. I wanted it to fit my larger tarp and it gulps it right up. Hope that helps!:)

Thanks for posting :)

When I ordered my Snakeskins, they told me that they are only selling the #4 and upgraded me to them. They are the biggest and worked out for me anyway since I like the under shelter and tarp inside when I break camp.

ok, good to know, now i have an answer to give folks when they ask

So when you fold up the packed snakeskins, there's no problem with getting it into a compact package to fit in to your backpack?

I also have a Big Mamajamba tarp and blackbird hammock, and I am able to wrap both, together, in one set of #4 snakeskins. Makes for nice storage.

pgustaf249 -- When I have both tarp and hammock wrapped in snakeskins, I just fold the snakeskin together several times and then place that under the top lid of my backpack and hike with it stowed like that.

So are most of your guys putting both the hammock and tarp in the same set of snakeskins or are you using one set for each. It seems that, by putting both in one, after a rain you would be putting a wet tarp in along with a dry hammock which somewhat defeats the purpose of protecting the hammock from the rain in the first place. Please help clear up the fog in my head.

I put both in skins, but I have a mesh bag for those occasions when tarp is wet.

I have two sets of the snakeskins. One set for the tent and the other set for the tarp.

I completed a five-day backpacking trip a couple of weeks ago in which it rained every day. If one brings the bottoms of the tarp together then rolls those with the hammock between tarp sides, the hammock will not get wet. Despite packing my hammock and tarp in the same snake skins each day with a wet tarp, my hammock never got wet.
