Like this one?

I will take it.
PM me with the payment particulars.
Are you sure the inner is silnylon?
Silnylon has no business in a quilt, ever....
@ Dutch:
Email sent.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, as I foolishly assumed that you have reasons to market these hammocks as 10.5-foot long while in fact manufacturing them with 11-foot long...
Dutch,
A long-term customer of yours here....
I ordered your Half-Wit hammock, and received it 4 days later.
My decision to order it was partially based on its dimensions, specifically - the...
genixia,
Wow!
Long speech.
You bring up issues which I am clearly unable to address. I am not even going to try.
However, I can try to set the record straight for anyone reading this thread...
WV,
Understood, and thanks for getting back to me on this.
I know that Mousekowitz is correct about Kevlar cutting itself. Yet another thing to watch for. Hence my next salvo of questions for...
WaffleBox,
I come to HF to mostly learn - and sometimes share what I have learned.
In my learning, I tend to question the status-quo, and to ask questions. Lots of them.
This is precisely what I...
You may see it differently, but I am not "crapping" on your thread. You brought this subject up for a discussion, and that's precisely what we are doing here. Perhaps you would like to reconsider...
genixia,
Just like you said, Google is our friend.
And it clearly shows that neither of the customers you listed validated Kevlar as highly abrasion-resistant and durable.
Or, perhaps I am...

WV,
Was it shone onto through glass - or directly (air being the only medium between sun and cord)?
I'm asking, because glass blocks (most of) UV spectrum, thus the cord won't be really...
Ah, you can not make the fine distinction....
OK, let me connect the dots for you:
I started the thread you referred to - on 10-foot tarps - with a specific request for experiences with those to...
Agree, but there's a flip side to that:
For anyone that would like to do their own research and make an informed decision, it would be prudent to look at non-DuPont information as well, since DuPont...
Dutch,
Do I look terminally ill?
:jj:
Just kidding...
But seriously:
I respectfully disagree. Especially with the part I took the liberty to highlight in red.
Kevlar's durability and...
How much experience do you have with Kevlar tape used in this manner?
I ask because one of the greatest downsides of Kevlar is its low durability. It's very strong for its weight, no question, but...
Another PM inbound.
Same here, always. And the CRL does not need to be very taut, as I can tension the tarp's hookups after I hang it from the ridgeline. The leftover slack of the RL hangs on one side of the tarp, and...
Gruxxx,
I understand the benefits of your method as you listed them, but you completely lost me at the sentence above.
In bad weather it is smarter to deploy the tarp before the hammock. Once I...
OK.
Thus far, a handful of 10-foot tarpers, with very minor heartburns caused by too short a length of their tarps.
There seems to be an agreement that said heartburns were mostly due to user...
Done both for a few years.
Settled on continuous, the "less line to carry" argument for separate ends is not valid for me - I'd rather save pack weight elsewhere, while enjoying the flexibility to...

Point well taken!
Made me re-evaluate the proposition.
And focus entirely on a 10' x 8.5' rectangular tarp.
I am now filtering the posts indeed for tarps falling within these...
Thank you for reminding me of this option!
I recall looking at this tarp perhaps an year ago, and then I completely forgot it.
Seems to be a piece of kit offering great flexibility as the user can...
I have long ago realized that being a tad under 5'6", 10-foot gathered-end hammocks are sufficiently comfortable for me.
To Karl's point about location, an experienced hiker or mountaineer can...
Tendertoe,
You are an experienced hammocker. I trust your judgement. And agree with your assessment I quoted here, although it is based on experiences with Hex tarps.
And you have perhaps guessed...
It seems you have grasped it.
No!
That's my point - I have made NO assumptions whatsoever. Once I collect the experiences, I would be able to draw conclusions, and then I could perhaps make...
Tendertoe, thanks!
Yep, you summed up the conventional wisdom of HF.
However, (and this is precisely why I started the thread) how do you know that in blowing rain or snow I'm risking getting...
Silvr,
I (foolishly) assumed that you had the tieouts on your 10-foot Funky Forest tarp modified in a manner allowing you to use the corners as "doors" of sorts. It just never crossed my mind that...
C'mon, folks!
No one has ever used a 10-foot tarp?
There's no shame in this, come out now and 'fess up....
I know you are lurking out there.
I won't bite. Promise.:cool:

Huh?
Not that this is too relevant to the thread subject, but I'm curious: a 10 x 10 tarp in A-frame configuration acted as a sail, but now a HG Winter Palace with doors does...
Please, share your experiences.
If so, why would you consider the Superfly tarp at all?
A cuben fiber tarp with doors weighs below 7 oz, while any silnylon tarp is much heavier....
My CF tarp goes under the CR.
35°.
Celsius.
Another shortie here, a bit under 5'6".
Indoors I rotate a 10', and two 9'6" hammocks as a full-time hammocker (since March 2013).
Outdoors I use a 10' for when the bugs are absent, and then a 9'6"...
There's no benefit from using compression sacks for tarps or hammocks.
Side sleeper - in 9.5', 10' and 11' gathered end hammocks.
I might spend 5% of the night on my back though.
I sleep exclusively in hammocks home, since March 2013, and depending on how much the...
Any sort of cinch buckle, you need to relieve the weight (strap tension) off it first.
Then it just works.
Full-time hanger @ home since March '2013, DYI tablecloth job.
I wash it with other synthetics once every 2 months on average, in a top-loader, after removing the suspension.
I like to keep...

Neither logical nor necessary, as far as the peripheral tie-outs are concerned.
The side panels ones (4x) do deserve shock cord as they are much weaker and sudden wind gusts may...
Of course, you tie it to the structural components.

Should?
Or will?
Do you know anyone who has been successful with such a setup in similar conditions?
I would not bet on this.... HUG and Florida do not go together well.
Good idea of using the shoe as a reference, but please do share whether the shoe is size 7 or size 63.
No purpose.
That's what I thought.
Thanks, and happy hanging!
The concept is clear.
To a point.
To further clarify, please, list your play by play on how you deploy your setup during heavy rain.
Menopause?
I have tried all methods, and am sticking to #2 with my cuben fiber tarp.
Tarp stays separated, and gets connected to the CRL after it is semi-taut.
Upon take-down, CRL gets semi-loose, tarps is...
I will take this one of the ACU hammocks:
10' 1.1 oz SL: $50

I will take it. PM sent.
