    Is it just one large compartment? I can’t really tell if it has side pockets? and does the mesh on the back stretch?

    Doesn’t look like they make it anymore…

    Tarp with doors for a 12 Chameleon

    Looking at a HG Journey in 12’ and a Warbonnet Superfly in 12’ or maybe 13’.

    Which would you go with?

    Journey is a little less expensive especially if I get the superfly in 13’

    I slide the buckle to one side but it keeps returning to the middle. Most likely because the tree is a smaller diameter. I’m thinking just wrap around the tree and extra turn for more friction to...
