    SQUIDBILLY 2 HAMMECK STAND TARP

    We ask squidbilly if he would take on the job of designing and producing a tarp that would fit over 2 of our stands sitting side by side. We had the opportunity to use the prototype at MAHHA. It was freaking awesome

    It stood strong during the storm that brought down the "Dutch Elm". Everything stayed nice and dry.

    There is a ton of room inside. We could set 2 chairs inside for evening reading. There is plenty of privacy and room to change clothes and it definitely cut the cool night breeze.

    The zippered end doors can be raised into a porch mode with tent poles. This tarp takes hammock car camping to an all new comfort level.

    We are working with squidbilly on a tent pole frame system to support the "ridge" This would replace using the retractable tent post.

    My kids couldn't stop talking about it on the ride home from MAHHA. It was crazy impressive.

    Wow, that's a house. Nice and bright too. Of course I'd want blaze orange, or that lovely brick color.

    Squidibilly strikes again, that man is THE man. I can't wait to see this thing up close, come on Hangcon.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    Squidbilly is an innovator of the highest degree. I owe much of my happiness to his skill and attention to detail. Kudos are well deserved I can assure you.

    Do we want to know what this tarp would cost and if you do tell us, should one be sitting down first ?

    I have seen some of Squidbilly's work up close and it is excellent.

    Better yet, one should be lounging in one's hammock!

    It's not finished yet, this was just a prototype. Still have to work out some things.
    21 yards of material
    4 - 77" zippers
    16 tie-outs
    plus poles

    And thread...lots of thread.
