    Loofah “skin”

    Has anyone had experience/success/failure with using a loofah uncoiled as a mesh storage skin for their tarp? Thanks for sharing any war stories from the trail!

    They do work but they're not very durable You'll probably only get like a use or two out of them. A rip like a mofo - almost more hassle than they're worth but if you're looking to see what it might be like an experiment...... Not too bad for a dollar

    They are extremely fragile and not good for field use.

    See thread: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...-00-Snake-Skin!

    Thanks for the insight. I guess they’re at least multi-use, if not durable. Soft skin is always a plush right?
