    Very nice! I like the upgrade with the vestibule. This will make a great addition to my 10x12. Thanks for the design idea. Just curious, do you have any other uses for the vestibule since it appears to be removable?

    That's like your own little house out there... If I was long term camping in one spot, that may be just the ticket...

    I thought the same thing about long term in one spot, however, it's still a good option for backpacking too.

    For me finding the three trees and setting it up is just as time and energy consuming as it used to be to find two pairs of trees close to each other; hang my wife's tarp and stake it out; hang my tarp; and then finally hang my hammock. The difference is we're together when she asks what that scary sound is rustling in the woods or when the thunder and lightening rip up the skies. That makes her happier which makes me happier.

    Also, I've found that with snake skins on the tarp, and two people working on the set up that after a brief learning curve it goes up pretty quickly.

    Vestibule is mainly for Storms and wife's privacy. Not used for anything else...

    What kind of snake skins are you using?

    Homemade - nothing fancy, just slightly larger than my Hennessy ones

    I am using a Hennessy set under UncleMJM's advise and it does make it easier.
