    Question Snake skin sizing for WBBB XLC and Kelty Noah 12

    Have received my new setup and now it is time to "trick it out". Based on comments in this fourum, I will be packing the tarp separately from the hammock. What snake skin sizes should I get?

    I got the large snake skins from Hennessey hammock off ebay. I pack both tarp and hammock separate but I have also used one set and packed both tarp and hammock on one.

    I never saw the benefit of using a skin for your hammock. It's just a heavier storage solution than a bishop bag or double ended stuff sack.

    For a tarp it's a great solution so you can set up easier in the wind, and also to set it up ready to deploy quickly, if you don't think you'll need it.

    I got my Skins from MountainGoat. She was awesome to deal with and the skins are top notch. Just tell her what you need and she will get you all set up.

    I agree with Boston on the bishop bag for the hammock and everyone else that chimed in on the mountaingoat snake skins. I don't even know what size my skins are?!? I just told her what tarp I had and she made a skin for it. Love it!
    Her skins are tough and light weight mesh. They also have an awesome pocket in the ends that you can store the ridge line in.
