Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Much as I would like to leap to their defense - having ordered from them in the past. I know that several have had rather long, silent waits...and no-shows for goods. But this - as you have said - has been covered elsewhere. Thanks for the heads-up though.
Magikelly, what sort of size are you thinking of?
Just looking at getting a better tarp for the hammock but would like it fairly large.
Is it worth waiting
or are they gonna be a snug fit for the hammock?

Size is planned to be 4 x 3.3m
This allows it to be pitched 4m long along the ridge whent eh trees are far enough apart and if the trees are closer together it allows you to pitch it 3.3m along the ridge. It is also a good size for making a shelter for sleeping on the ground. At least that is the theory.

The green tarps from recycled polypropylene and the hemp / cotton mix were way too expensive. I am waiting to hear form the manufacturer that makes the insect nets so hopefully will have better luck with them.

I still need to hear if they can do it and what sort of price before I nag them about colours but I agree an earthy brown would be good. The hemp/cotton ones would have been that colour but as I say they were pretty expensive.
I like the light brown (cocoon) colour of the tatonka tarps.
It's reasonably low viz but more importantly it transmits a good amount of light through so it's not too dark underneath the tarp.

I just got a couple of those in, they are a lot nicer colour than I was expecting them to be. I was expecting a more orangey colour...
These are the 3x3 ones.
Thanks for that Wayland, you've just made me spend more money.

any more news on this one John?
Well the manufacturer of the nets is till looking for tarp material but I am now in contact with a manufacturer in China. I have sent them specs and am waiting for a price. After that I will need to get a sample before placing an order so I do not expect to be announcing anything for a good while yet.
I've attached a copy of the plan I have sent them.
