    That's really cool! Two questions; Where did you buy the loofah (would dollar store loofah suffice?) and how much does it weigh?

    Brilliant! I'm guessing lots of cheap loofahs are made this way, but do you know what brand you used? I'm definitely trying this out.

    Trailsmith, this is a great idea. Can you please follow on with an additional video of deploying your hammock with the skin attached? I'd like to see it in action.

    The loofah is from dollar general, and I think there is an item number on the receipt on the video, I'll have to check but it is the ones they keep in the deep plastic see though bins, and they come in multiple different colors. I will make a part 2 video setup and tear down using the loofah on both my Ridge runner and the kelty Noah 12 tarp as well as get a weight for them for everyone.
