Looking for this old thread. I think I am going to build a cuben hammock.

I was just thinking, that at 98" x 53" that is almost as large as a Hennessy Deep Jungle Tarp at 97" x 64". You could about get two of your Cuben hammocks and use one as the tarp for the other.

It is looking sweet.

When you say "with tie outs" does that include the cord you are using for gathering the ends. If not, what would you recommend using to prevent abrading the ends off?

How much would a hammock bottom about 3 yards by 52" wide weigh and cost if you did it for gathered ends? I'm thinking that something like that with Dynaglide UCRs and some of my 21 gram tree straps...
