Thank you a hundred time over. In the first five minutes I got more information than I’ve gotten from hours of other videos.

I've capmed all my life and never been sure of what sort of tarp to use over my hammock, this video has given me a greater idea of what sort of thing I'm now looking for so thank you, much appreciated!

excellent video again, I have been hammock backpacking for 4 years. I have been wanting to upgrade my tarp since since purchasing, I have a hennessy expedition, I don't care for the tarp it came with. I have never got wet in rain but I always worry I will. Your videos are very resourceful and touch all the options out there. It helped me to purchase a tarp upgrade. Thanks again.

Thanks Marine! Another great and informative video. Appreciate the snappy trimming!

Ultralight tarp with doors is definitely the best option in my book! Thanks for the video!

Marine, another great video with a boat load of information. Keep them coming.

Thanks, brother! I just purchased a Hammock Gear DCF wide tarp with doors. I am moving up from a Gossamer Gear Spinn Twinn ground tarp which has been an excellent tarp for the past 5 years, but I wanted a bit more coverage for cold cold weather use. One thing that I would recommend is Lineloc guyline (or, guide line) adjusters. I can adjust the tension of the tarp while underneath it, and tightening lines when placing stakes is super easy. Loved your explanations. Very novice friendly. Good stake choice, btw. I have full-size MSR Groundhogs and they excel in loose forest duff, which I mostly encounter on the Appalachian Trail. Wish I could Semper Fi you, but I got a high draft number near the end of the Vietnam conflict, so I thanked God and never looked back, eventually becoming a follower of the teaching of Jesus, avid Bible student, and now, retired from landscaping, a volunteer groundskeeper at the non-denominational church that I attend (virtually, by consent of the majority of congregants). I CAN, however, call you brother. It means a lot to me. God bless! 👍🇺🇸 And happy Thanksgiving! 🍗☺

Your productions are the go to Hammock videos brother. Always packed with useful information. I trust you're well during this strange time. Mark

Thank you for your service and another great video. 👍

As usual, a great video. You cover all the topics without too much opinions.

glad i found this channel. couople years ago we did a bunch of camping and i always wanted to hammock camp, but i didnt have a proper set up and i always ended up in my tent before the night was up. went with some dutchware with the proper accessories, cant wait to try it out.

Always glad to see a new BWAH video. TY

Great review. I'm sure this will answer many questions for folks. Thanks for sharing this and I enjoy your video's. Keep them coming?

Excellent overview. Well done sir.

Another excellent video with great info! 🌟

Great video. To the point and easy to understand. Thanks. ✌️

Absolutely superb tutorial. It couldn't be or more simpler to understand. You've got yourself a dedicated subscriber here digger. Great stuff mate.

Great video Uncle!!! I should have watched it before boundary waters. I liked how you talked about the colors and showed the difference. That was an eye opener!

Interesting video, thanks for uploading.

OUTSTANDING! SEMPER FI, MY BROTHER!

Great video always looking for the perfect camp hammock! Hopefully we'll get some videos up as well on the camping comforts lol

Also, I did my first hammock camping trip last October. I found your explanations to be the most valuable before ordering my gear. Big Respect. TY for your service.

Clear and concise, as always. Tarps are one thing I don't mind upgrading incrementally, since I like having a variety of them around. Getting an order for some Dutch bling put together to outfit my last new tarp and you're making me want a new winter tarp. 😆 Glad to see you are doing okay up there, brother. Stay well.

Great information thanks

I started with a dome tent tarp over my hammock and made it work with my hiking poles . bulk yes . dry hell yeah . i want the one closes up like a tent . great info man !!

I'am waiting on my New hammock. I just ordered the Superior straps to hang it.. I have an old Clarks outdoor tropical now. Used a tarp from Home Depot to hang in my back yard. I will get a regular tarp to go with me on the trail. I was able to form doors on my Home Depot tarp. Of course it was 15 by 10. It was good practice to get use to new hammock camping.. i'm looking forward to a few overnights in the wild. Glad you put out these videos.

Good info I am new to hammock camping and always looking for help. Thanks.

WOW, that comparison of the tarp colors was incredible, side-by-side. This video rocks, thanks for posting!

Another great video. I agree with you on all points. This elder hiker would not think about going on a hike without my trekking poles. Yes, yes, yes on the hammock. I was introduced to the "jungle hammock" as a young boy scout in 1957. I've used tents and slept on my sleeping mat, but nothing beats a hammock for comfort. You've got all of the right answers. Thanks

love my HEX and rectangle tarps

Love the vids keep it up💯

a lot of great info Thank you been thinking about a new tarp I did a tent video today but most times when I camp if I can when I can I setup my hammock also great for naps but with a dog I tent a lot

thank you sir _ God bless

Awesome thank you. I was considering using a cheap tarp but other KZfaqrs where discouraging against them. I figured they would work just fine for a car camper

Very fortunate to have stumbled onto your "Hammock How To" series and I am binge watching them all now. One question I have is if you have an opinion on the split snake skins vs the single snake skin and what the pros vs cons are when considering.

I didn't see in the selection what I consider the best tarp I've seen in my 60 plus years of hammock camping. It's the Mini Tarp from Warbonnet and is the only tarp of this configuration except for home made or custom ones. It has Peaks at each end which extend out from the trap and can be used to stop rain from blowing in at either end. Or if you don't want to use them then just fold them back over the tarp. Even better it comes in the Bushwack Camo ( Custom Tarp Section , It's a custom Tarp color ) pattern. SEMPER FI Marine , keep the good info coming. ( F.M.F Corpsman )

Just returned from a 4 day trip here in the Colorado Mountains. I use a hammock / tarp mainly because of the un-even / sloped ground where I go hiking. Finding a flat area for a tent can be challenging in the mountains but trees are everywhere! My biggest challenge... staking out the tarp on a slope. One side always seems to be closer or up against the hammock causing condensation to build up. it takes a little knowledge and experience but the main trick is to have one side closer to the ground than the other (sometimes several feet difference) and the hammock in the center. Something you might want to do a video on... pitching a tarp on slopes.

You are very thorough and your prolific filmmaking has convinced me to look into my first hammock setup. I have had a few run-ins with some of our local and highly venomous wildlife (Snakes) on my last few outings over Summer and am not so comfy taking the Wife out in a tent with the amount that are about lately. I saw 2 Browns and a Tiger on my last trip alone. They're hard to spot, quick strikers, they'll kill you in minutes and love to tuck in under your groundsheet so will be leaving the tenting to the Winter time when I'm out with the Lady. If you have any suggestions for a beginners kit I would love to hear about them as there is very little in the way of information or retailers dedicated to hammock gear down here in Australia. I would also like to see more on the setup of an under quilt as I can't quite get my head around what equipment I need/specific quilts to get one going. Cheers.

Another great tutorial. In the next one, please show the actual techniques for height setting of the tarp along with the actual hardware techniques for securing the tarp. I know, you showed the MSR stakes but what about the different tensioning methods to the stakes and how to attach the tarp to the tree. I just bough the Kammock UL setup and having a tough time With the tarp. Thanks!

I just got a 12’ wide netless and have a 12’ tarp. Good or replace? Thanks for posting this series.

Can you give some recommendations on tarps? Preferably not ones that cost over 80 bucks not an ultralight backpacker and don't mind carrying some weight got a 20 dollar 11 foot hammock from rural king trying to find a decent tarp to go with it mostly be out spring summer fall and sometimes winter thanks for the video you have helped out tremendously

Or pitch your square tarp like the wintertarp. Only difference is that it’s harder to close the “doors”/corners.

I found a nice "looking" tarp on Amazon by gold armor, lots of timeout points and sizes.wonder how good it could be?

Can you do a video on Storm mod include site selection please

What dyneema ropes diameter is optimal for such tarps?

Do you thing tickettothemoon tarps and hammocks are good for camping?

What are good sources for snake skins and double stuff sacks?

Just cant look at someone talking with sunclasses on. Skipping video
