Of course, I didn't really think I figured that out before you.

Thats fantastic Dutch, need to be getting one of these! Spent an uncomfortable night under my tarp with my nephew when he didn't have a tarp and my hammock kept sliding down the trees we were both hitched to.
Great stuff.
Dutch, do you sell the spreader bar? don't see it on your site.
Many Thanks,
I am working on poles. In the meantime I use quest outfitters and get .625 poles with tips.
Peace Dutch

Love it so far. I'm wondering what others are using for tarps,especially in the rain.
If/when I duo this,my thought I'd to make a three panel wide tarp with multiple side tie outs so the end can be angled in for better protection, not quite doors though. I would also use external pole mods to ensure adequate space inside.
Hey Dutch, you mentioned that you thought the .625 poles was a bit overkill. For the two of us, combined weight is under 300 lbs. I cannot figure out which tips to get. it doesn't look like there is a tip for the .625 that you can attach shock cord to, but there is for the .490 (sections #4100 and $4101 on Quest site).. Do you think these would be strong enough and would you use the tips #4122 or #4123? If these won't work in your opinion, which tips for the .625?
Thanks.

I've been considering this for a while now to try and get my wife into backpacking with me. One thing I haven't seen is a video of it in use in a full setup scenario - two adults, bugnets, tarp, insulation - the works. Anybody have such a video? And how big would a tarp need to be, given two 11-foot hammocks? Would an 11' x 10' cat-cut hex provide enough coverage or is something more along the lines of a superfly required?
