Hi all,

as a newbie to hammocking with some sewing skills, I want to make my own basic tarp. I'm just having some issues getting up to speed on what is suitable. I have my eye on these two, just want to make sure that they might be what i'm looking for.

One is listed as Lightweight Nysil (like Pertex4)

The other is listed as Pertex 5

Both are 'Water Resistant', but i'm not sure what that means in the real world.

Any help is appreciated.

Wade
