    I have one... it is really a tarp that converts to a channel end hammock.

    whats cool is when used as a hammock you can lay in one half and pull the other half over like the picture... I have actually spent a few hours sleeping in a rain storm with it...

    it is a bit heavy... and about the size of a small hennessy when in the bag...
    but cool emergency hammock/tarp for day pack.

    not sure I would use it for my primary hammock.

    I've got one.
    Makes a better tarp than it does a hammock.

    Easy enough to get them. Good weather for that thing too. Been raining all day and supposed to rain all day tomorrow. It's weenie rain though, nothing fun.

    I'm taking a dayhike Saturday. I'll take that one with me and get some pics.

    Im curious about it, and not concerned about the weight especially if I wont need a tarp. I am curious how it lays, how "weatherproof" it is, and is condensation a problem due to the material used.
