Thanks for the help I'll post pictures when it's done...

good to know thanks!

I dont have the money to get down, and PrimaLoft' insulation properties are nice (water resistance and heat retention). I would end up doing two layers of the stuff. I'm looking at making this as...

:laugh: You have a point...

That is not necessarily true given that the hammocks I make are not based off a ridge line so if the tarp goes down then my hammock will still be fine. However if I did use a ridgeline based upon...
