    If I saw this a month ago I probably would have made one but unfortunately no longer have a need.

    Very cool! Cant wait to see what you come up with for doors on that tarp. Looks like plenty of room under it.

    I'm camping Friday night....I think I can do that. We'll be using the stand and everything.

    It does have a ton room. It's made from the extra wide silpoly. Each side has room for a chair with room to spare!

    Saw this hammock (these hammocks??) this weekend, the group showed a lot of interest. Very well thought out design, nicely done! Any updates for us?? Perhaps a Robic 1.2 version??

    Were you at Higgins lake? That's where I had my setup this weekend. Or did you see someone else's setup? There is only a few chimeras in the wild right now.

    I am throwing a few ideas around in my head on how to add an removable/stowable overcover option...I have made a tablet harness so my wife and I can watch movies before we crash...

    So far we both are really pleased with the comfort of the hammock and ability to store extra clothes/blankets and whatknot is awesome. And we stay close but not too close...

    There will definitely be new versions in the future... Maybe a lightweight version for hiking trips...But for now this is definitely a car camping rig.

    Gargoyle was kind enough to set his up at Da Shack and explain it's features and design progression, sounds like you're continuing to evolve and perfect it.

    If you're interested in sending another one out into the wild.......
