Pete, That's a very interesting hammock. It seems to me an animal of a different sort. I think you may be on to something here. You ought to patent the damn thing before it gets around, and market rights to make it, or market the thing itself. As for covers, yeah, I've had amazing luck using those cheap blue poly tarps for all kinds of things. They're usually available real cheap in the late Fall at the various marine supply stores. Anyway, thanks for the jpgs.

RE/ >Pete, > >That's a very interesting hammock. Is that like the reputed old Chinese curse "..may you live in interesting times..."? -) I'm suspending judgement until I've slept in the thing every night for a month. I can't imagine it would be very marketable because there just aren't that many people out there with such elongated bodies that are both willing to try a hammock and aren't concerned with weight.....My guess is that most hammock sales are to backpackers who want the weight reduction compared to a tent... ----------------------- Pete Cresswell *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
