    I dont think a macat is going to give you the coverage you need--------unlike a GE hammock, the bridge is so much wider at the ends. Just a plain old rectangular tarp works very well with the bridge! (*warbonnet cloudburst etc)
    FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
    run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
    bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )


    Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

    Yea that what I have tead. Was just wondering if anyone has tried it with any success. I am most likely going to have to make me a new tarp.
