Maybe a bit off topic, but finally after weeks of eager wait for the pack to arrive from US I just got the Warbonnet Thunderfly.
Much lighter than my previous tarp. Probably around 5-600 grams saved. Volume was also just barely noticeable in my pack, being about 1/3 of the previous tarp. It covers my hammock really well.
This weekend I had two nights in the woods with it and it didn't disappoint. Truth to say, it was perfect weather, so I really didn't need it, but I set it up anyway just because.
I didn't fasten the ends as I forgot two sticks at home. Could have used a dead branch or something of course but it worked fine anyway having open ends.
It was a breeze to set it up and deploy it using snakeskins. I set it up high to be able to peek out of the hammock. Certainly I have to practice a bit to get both the hammock and tarp set up properly w.r. height etc. But I am really liking hammocking now. Just being able to peek out from the hammock is great.
Added four photos of this last trip into the Swedish woods. Nothing really fancy, but I know I wouldn't get the dawn photo or even see the skies at 0500 if I was sleeping in a tent. Peeking out from the hammock seeing the colors of the skies made me just jump out in long johns and grab my camera.
