    I think I'm going to go with either a tablecloth or the Grand Trunk Ultra Light.

    Now to find a decent tarp. How small can I go? I'm thinking an Equinox Egret, but will 6x8 be big enough?

    Re: Cheap hammock I can use to let the wife try out the Blackbird?

    I would just do a tablecloth hammock if it was short miles and not much use...
