    Air Bivy Extreme Shelter Vs a Skeeter Beeter Pro + a Funky Forest Tarp?

    What is the difference between these two. The dimensions on Grand Trunk's website show the hammock for the Air Bivy extreme shelter is only 8' long and 4' wide. The SBP is 10'6 x5'W in dimension.

    I'm 6'2" and 200lbs. The air bivy extreme shelter seems kind of small. Is the SBP large enough for someone of my height to sleep comfortably in?

    I cannot speak to the Air Bivy because I do not have one. But the Skeeter Beeter Pro is plenty big for you.

    That's good to know.

    I see on your profile info you have a GT double. How does the GT double compare to the SBP? as far as comfort with the larger length and width?

    I think I figured out the answer to my original question. The Air Bivy Extreme Shelter is a light weight compact version of the GT SBP and a light weight version of the multi purpose tarp. So the two hammocks and tarps are completely different.
