After I explained the judge it was not sexual harassment that I nearly kissed the mailman, but I was just very happy my Hammock Gear tarp arrived he let me go with a warning not to do the same thing if I get more goodies (like a Baby Orca) ....

To be short.... the package arrived after I paid my import duties (ouch € 127 extra). First delivery was tried last saturday, but.... I was out canoeing ....with a blue hardware store like tarp

I started whistling, smiling and measuring. Only ONE pic so far, will try to get out tomorrow for more pics or movie



Package delivered: 265 gram [9.35 oz]
Stuffbag: 7 gram [0.25 oz] and tarp 258 gram [9.1oz]

The loosely packed measured in a rectangle (ish): 30x20x7 cm [11.8 x 7.9 x 2.8 inch.

For the time being I could only hang it quick and dirty indoors and it measured 376x280 cm [ 148 x 110 inches or 12.34 x 9.19 feet]

I put my Speer No Tangle guylines on and my Continous Ridgeline with 2 S biners and the package came in at 344 gram [ 12.13oz]



My first encounter with cuben AND Hammock Gear stuff.... in short: GREAT!

It looks so fragile, it is so light... it's probably illegal in some places ... thanks HF but most of all of course:

Thanks Adam & Jenny!

Will keep you all posted with more pics/movie when I get the chance.
