To make a long story short, just grab up some Nylon Taffeta and silicone coat it yourself?
Grab 12 yards of this for a tarp and hammock body:

Yes it will be plenty strong enough to make both a durable hammock and tarp with. Ripstop is not necessary, my Hennessy hammocks are made with Taffeta and I've had them for going on 7 years.
Then grab 4 yards of this to make your bug netting with:

Put it all together, silicone coat the finished tarp, set it up, and don't walk too far off, you may never find it again.
I too have been looking for a camo tarp other than the polys i have and was wondering if any of you feel this fabric can be waterproofed? my favorite camo is mossy oak break up.....:D http://www.vtarmynavy.com/mossy-oak-break-up-fabric.htm
they also have in some sort of poly? http://www.vtarmynavy.com/mossy-oak-...oly-fabric.htm :confused:
There is a thread somewhere on this forum where someone shows how to silicone the material, I spotted it, but don't remember where it is.

Have you guys found that a large solid block of black as in a black tarp really sticks out in the woods?
Another thing I've noticed when paddling at night is that I can still see the black hull on a kayak but a red one dissapears-maybe only me?
The latest cuben tarp from OES is a spring time green that really blends in. I think with the current offerings we have to be aggressive on placement of our campsite and with some manipulation of the limbs--is there anything wrong with a little pruning? I realize LNT but nature prunes on its own as long as one doesn't get carried away. Just thinking out loud.....
It's true, rarely in the natural world is there a complete absence of color, black is exactly that. So it of course sticks out like a sore thumb. It's why so many of the military camo patterns are phasing black out of the patterns.
The only places and times black is actually stealth is in a cave, hole, or on exceptionally dark nights. There is more red, blue, yellow, orange, and purple in nature than black.
This is my planned pattern for my next hammock.
