    ****, and I just completed my stable of underquilts. Looks fantastic, I just don’t need another UQ.

    What’s this about a side-zip tarp?

    Very interested in this. Looks like the ends still require cinching up, is that right? Was hoping that wouldn't be the case, since that's the fiddly part where cold air seeps in.

    The ends are not fiddly at all. Got mine at Hangcon and have put it to the test. Not a bad idea to vent the ends at times when you are in and even out of the hammock.

    And it's available for purchase already too:

    With all the options I would need, the cost would be $435.

    Wow, that's pretty neat tech! I have a winter tarp in the works and might consider how this could be diy'ed.

    Good to know, thank! Any issues with using head and foot end tie outs? I like having my pulled out quite a bit.

    I'm trying to understand... Being 53" wide, and firmly attaching to both sides of a Chameleon with zippers, why does this not essentially reduce the effective (practical?) width of the hammock to 53"? Doesn't this result in a bunch of excess hammock material between the zippers?
