    Default best choice of camo tarp & hammock

    Hey, I know this was done before but I can't find the old threads. I could pm Neo, but I realize I would get a lot more information and URL's to manufactures and some we hadn't heard about in the cottage industry of making Camo Tarps Hammocks...

    Would you folks mind posting the shortcuts to camo hammocks on the internet for sale?

    Thanks Ahead... I need another one....

    Nothing personal, but you made the thread really difficult to see what with the camo and all...

    Kidding. Anyways, I don't have any of these but some popular ones:
    Hennessy:

    Claytor:

    Clark:

    Roam around hammockforums.net for extensive (more than you'd ever want) hammock info.

    Hope some of that is helpful.

    You can get a camo hammock with a brown tarp from Ed Speer at Speer hammocks. Currently, I use a Warbonnet 1.7 double layer (olive) with a Speer Winter Tarp in brown. It'd be pretty doggone stealthy if I'd replace the orange no-tangle guylines.

    WOO if you are still looking for a camo tarp, there are a few guys on HF that are making them. As far as a Hammock goes, I'd just go with a WBBB in 1.7 olive. That combined with a camo tarp and good site selection should hide you from most of the wandering eyes out in the woods.

    the camo tarp that hennessy makes is a bit heavy, but i m takin it along for the coverage, vs the asym fly the ul comes with. i m plannin to switch it out when it gets warmer, the wet wont be as bad if i spring a leak.
