    It's a pity about the lighter reinforcements for the doors, but it's easy to imagine they take less force so long as the other points are used. And since the end of the 'patrol' shape is much lower,...

    Here's a rough side-view sketch of how I was thinking the Thunderfly might work on the ground, to deal with a bit of wind-driven rain. It's vaguely like a 'patrol shelter' in shape.

    I look forward to that, thank you:)

    Do you happen to know how long the sides are at the bottom? If not I'd really appreciate it if you could measure it when you have it out.

    Thanks for the info and suggestions, people!

    I hadn't realised that the stock Warbonnet tarps don't have mid-way guy-outs at the bottom, I just assumed they would. That's a pity. But I guess the 2...

    Sea to Summit Ultralight XL Hammock

    I gather this doesn’t get much love, but I am possibly the target audience for this hammock:)

    I normally sleep in a tent or bivy bag, but at one point on a recent trip I would have given anything...
