    Looks good. I think I may want to get the Zpacks tarp in the future.

    Does anyone know if there are any lighter tapes that will still waterproof and reinforce the stiching?

    True,

    I work at REI and own 4 of the Nano 23. Use and love them for my car camping setup, but wouldn't use them for backpacking. Too "heavy" :D

  10. Breaking Strength Required for Structural Ridgeline?

    What is the breaking strength required for a structural ridgeline on a hammock? Is the whole weight of the person put onto the ridgeline, or does it take less load? I weigh about 165.

    Hey Rock,

    Fair enough - I had a feeling that was the case.
