I ordered a 12 x 10 SWT clone from Brian at OES and it arrived yesterday!! I couldn't really post yesterday, of course, because you'd all be mad that there weren't pictures. I really had some time this afternoon to set it up and really check it out. Brian does amazing work. Like I said, it's 12' on the ridge with 10' sides. The tarp has four ties on each side. It's more than enough for our two hammocks. I tried several pitches with one and two hammocks. Next weekend we're going for a trip, so we'll really see what it can do. It'll be a car camping trip with friends so the site will probably be horrible for hammocks. :( I'm taking bipods and such just in case.
The tarp was a birthday present for me (even though I picked it out and all) so that makes it all the more special. I also somehow manged to talk my wife into getting herself a JRB Mt. Washington 4 UQ, so we are anxiously expecting that as well. It's great to see my wife enjoy hammocking too. She got me into backpacking and now I'm showing her a better way to do it. :D The privacy to be able to change clothes is the biggest concern she and some of my other female friends have had, so she really loves this tarp.
CAUTION: Don't hang over rocks!! Do as I say.....not as I do;)
