These are just awesome. I loved the versions in your BGT report on the Nano. This is a great addition. I print these out all nice and shiny and give them to my backpacking buddy who is just getting more and more into hammocking.
Thank you!

Love Cannibal and voo doo sticks. Sure makes excellent diagrams stand out even more!
Wait till he starts putting in kilt wearing characters in these diagrams!
Awesome Article, great illustrations, thanks for the info and all the hard work and time you put into writting and illustrating this article. Also a special thanks for depicting the A-SYM tarp I never really understood how they worked the illustration really helps with a visual for me.
Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
Thanks all!
@lazy river road -- I'm glad the illustration helped. The a-sym tarps can be tricky, and they are the stock tarps for some manufacturers like Hennessy. I've used my GoLite Poncho as an a-sym tarp and it works great. I just have to be careful that I sleep inline with the tarp.
