    I miss my old Outback... but not the persistent oil leaks and overheating (the car, not me)

    Sounds like you had the typical head gasket issue...OK enough of cars and what I work on for a living/eat/sleep/breathe and back to hammocks..otherwise the moderators will banish us to the island of perpetual tickling.

    Which, although in Japanese, appears to be the odd shape of the car tarp. Not sure what to make of that shape.
    I told you earlier it was a funky shape. I opened it at REI and laid it out. I decided I lied the 12x12 better.

    I've been thinking about a 12 x 15 cat cut OES lately. Our usual "go to" tarp on river trips is an MSR Outfitter Wing. It's 16 x16 I think, and works well for 6-10 people. It weights at least 10 lbs. We also have an MSR Pavilion which is even bigger (I call it the circus tent). When there's 2-4 of us I bring my Kelty Noah 12 x 12. But it's a tight squeeze to get 4 humans & a dog, the kitchen, plus 4 camp chairs & the card table for canasta under it. I got a MacCat deluxe for my hammock this summer, and it's so nice & light. That got me thinking about replacing the Noah with the slightly larger, but probably lighter 12 x 15 OES.

    FWIW the JRB 11x10 tarp is large enough for a base camp and provides a myriad of hanging options. Check out the JRB site for info. I have one and find it to be quite versatile.
