===> Thanks, Bro! I usually use two...a longer one towards the tree side, then a shorter one about 6 inches closer to the hammock to catch any 'bleed through' from the first one. Work like a charm!Originally Posted by mainewoods
You can also put a hole on the tapered end, and tie a cord that runs down into a water bottle to collect rainwater.
I just made about a dozen of each to bring for others at the Jingle Bell Hang today!
BUSHCRAFT ADAPTATION: use pieces of Birch Bark, and your knife to make drip tabs, and all sorts of goodies!
Hang Loose!

I had a short length of nite-eyz reflective cord left over when I replaced my tie-out lines. I just tied some on each end of the hammock lines for drip lines. Nicely visible in the dark.
I use a strip of Shamwow towel tied as needed at each end. I believe you can get it in the USA.
A simple prusik loop attached to the whoopie right near the end of your hammock or as I do, I spliced a spliced loop into the whoopie as place to hang things as well as catch drips.
Also, the Warbonnet Traveler sock has velcro on the ends that traps and redirects dribbles. I sometimes have my sock setup with the ends velcroed tight to catch wind blown rain, but left wide open in the middle for ventilation and view.

Thank Brother SkyPainter will try the birch bark!!!
I just use the Dutch Woopie Hooks. Been in some nasty rain and always stayed drip dry free.
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.
