Hobo Off The Ground All Year Round: 8 7
consecutive months since the start, 9/2015 through 11/2022
Bought one of these for my son a couple of months ago when they last came up.
A good deal if need a back up tarp or want you can lend to a friend or family member.
The biggest down sides to this tarp is that it must be folded to get back into the "stuff sack" tried twice to stuff it in. no go both times. a little heavy for the size, but still a great deal at $17 plus shipping
If you buy this tarp, I recommend that you throw out the cord and stakes that it comes with, not worth keeping either. The cheap "reflective cord" does not reflect and the stakes dont really hold in the ground very well. I added a 4 inch zingit continuous loop on each end, zingit CRL with a dutch hoop and tarp fly and some reflective lawson cord for the sides and it is set.

I can recommend the tarp as well. Used one for a while untill i got mj. It's a good tarp for the price. I sewed tie outs on it over the grommets for peace of mind. Worked well even in some heavy rain. It's a bit heavy, but not horrible. I weighed mine the other day and it came in at 1lb 14oz. That was in no see um snake skins inside stuff sack with continuous ridgeline ala dutch( dutch hook and wasp on zing it) and zing for tie outs.
It's a great introductory beginers tarp that won't let you down and at that price it can't be beat
Just bought the Yukon XL hammock, Walkabout rainfly, underquilt from Woot. Thanks for the heads up!! All of this will go in my SHTF bag and can also double as a back up or loaner. Price was right!

First i have ever heard of Woot..Now i am the proud owner of another hammock for 19.99 and a tarp for 16.99..LOL..At those prices i couldnt not try it..
Slugger, You picked up an XL? With mosquito netting? If so, there is a series on YouTube by Sarge Vining that deals with adding a ridgeline and lifting the netting with the ridgeline. I am doing it to my wife's Mosquito hammock. But the netting works great with the stuff that they supplied. Again, YouTube has a video on installing the bungee that lifts the net. I did make one change and that was to add a Marlin Spike up about half way between the hammock and tree straps and attached the netting bungees there. I also changed the suspension as Sarge shows in the video series. Instead of the line he replaced on the hammock end I just larksheaded the original line and cinch buckle together. Then visited Harbor Freight and picked up a tie down made of poly and removed the metal parts. This is the tree hugger and suspension that goes down to the Cinch buckles. It all Works great together.
