Ok think that should work?

Oooh smart thinking ... just a case of ... "DUH!!! Why didn't I think of this"

Thanks, oddly I seen this else were, and thought Why? but the main reason I can see is - Its a pack up tarp and if you dont need it, then it can stay packed but the ridge line is already deployed.


This is my hammock bag but its the same idea, and because its a compression sack the air just goes. Not water prof obviously but protected.

Ah right, so it's a stuff sack with the ridgeline going right through (I can see a hole in the end above)? Nice idea, that.

That is cool!

I do something vaguely similar with an Ortlieb bag, using its push fit buckle to hang the bag from the ridge line, waterproof but not as handy.

Aye simple but handy and easy. If you stuff it right you can slide the whole bag from one end to the other.

Neat. I'm guessing you could also use a snake for that. There's a video on youtube where the DD Hammock (travel?) and their XL tarp is all packed inside their snake, and folds out the same way.

Yep skins work very well,

I opted for this set up as the bag has compression straps.

Do you think that bloke's tarp is big enough ?

I suppose if you plan on staying in the one place for a few days then one that big will be pretty useful. I have one about the same size but made of canvas so it rolls rather than stuffs.

I use one of Kepis' bishop bags on my DD 3x3 tarp. Did a marvellous job this weekend. Tarp was up in a couple of minutes and away in less.

Having the tarp and hammock in the one sock is an interesting idea, but what happens if you're tarp is wet when you're taking it down. Surely being stuffed into a sock and then drybag with a wet tarp would mean a wet hammock the next night?

Oddly its only a DD XL 4.5m x 3 but it dose look huge.


Here next to a normal 3 x 3

Presumably so. If the tarp was wet though it wouldn't take too much effort to separate it from the hammock/snake as it is rigged on a separate line, although you'd have to take its original stuffsack along just in case.

I Would agree, I always carry mine in seperate dry bags, like wise for the all important sleeping bag.

great little video, taking an idea from hammock forums to another bit of kit useful indeed
