It performed great in a really heavy thunderstorm though!

Yes, both great products. I love the Sparrow. I keep coming up with excuses to sleep out in the backyard. I just have to get some tarp sleeves to make packing up the Winterdream a little easier.

awesome setup, great investment on your part. Nothing left to do but enjoy it

That's a great rig you got there.

The Smurfs and Paul/Missy are wonderful folks and have married their hammocks and quilts together wonderfully.

The tarp is just too cool. When using the double pole mod, you can put a little (tiny) weight on the end of your lines in porch mode and they won't even touch the ground. It's like a magical porch mode tarp.

How do you like the membrane93? I've been eyeing that tarp since it's just about the only 4 season tarp under a pound that isn't cuben.

A great setup right there. I love that camo pattern, it's what I used for the overcover for my Sparrow. Can't wait for the cold weather, too!

So far so good. It's really light and packs up well. I haven't had a chance to test it out in the woods, but have survived a couple rain storms in the back yard. The Winterdream is awesome, I love having the option of using the doors, it really cuts the wind. I used shockcord and mini side buckles to hold the doors open when I don't need to the extra protection. Tarp worms on all the guy outs makes it easy to set up. You can't go wrong with this tarp in my opinion.

Nice. I just ordered some of the mini side buckles to hold my doors, too.
Thanks for the tip.

really nice set up!! That winter dream is next on my list. Thanks for posting the pics. I was torn between dark olive and grey. I think I'm liking the grey.
