I am liking a hammock set up in my older age . In summer off the ground from bugs n snakes and a breeze . So I just bought a 10 x10 tarp .

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

That is awesome! I am done crawling on my hands and knees in the middle of the night. To go to the bathroom. thank you Denisestarr for watching. I really do appreciate it.

[@MrSparkyMcGee79]

I'm a Scoutmaster and I'm just now jumping into the hammock camping/backpacking/canoeing world. This was an EXCELLENT review of the different options and styles of tarps. Will share with my troop. Thanks!!!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine My pleasure, Sir. Keep up the great videos. I've been tent camping before, but now I want to get into hammock camping. You've been very helpful in answering unthought questions. Thanks again.

Years ago kevlar was very rare and expensive. Today you can buy (for example) kevlar gloves to protect your arms kinda cheap kinda everywhere. I guess I'll wait the same effect for that cuben-dyneema. Very impressed with it so far via youtube reviews. Waterproof & stretchless & light. But how long to wait...

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I thought by now that it would of dropped at least half the price it is now. I don't know why it is taking so long. Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@Lekporr]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine thank you for being yourself! Honestly I was locked in oldschool style and had discovered excistence of dyneema-fiber just this year. So it's all new to me now

[@moonreft]

in the past month I bought 3 hammocks (two 11' footers one 9'8" that turns into a bivy) and 2 tarps both cat cut 10x12 and a 16x16, thanks for the info looking forward to a few setups.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I hope that you are spending a lot of time in the hammock and under the tarp this year. Thank you for watching and your comment moonreft. I really appreciate it.

[@BatColonyEvictor]

Thanks for all the great info! Can't wait to see the next one

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you for watching and your comment Mr. Scott Ursiny. I really appreciate it.

[@raepeterson7949]

Nice overview for hammock tarps! Looking forward to some hanging tips thanks!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you Rae Peterson. I really appreciate it.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

This segment seems to require much more planning than the other decisions when beginning hammock camping. Thanks

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

when it comes to hammock camping. The tarp has the biggest learning curve. But because of that. There are so many ways to hang and pitch your tarp, so you will be able to handle any situation. No matter how severe. Thank you for watching Warren.

[@night23fox]

Havent tried my tarp yet. Already thinking about an upgrading mine. Thank you

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Next month, I am hoping to have 2 videos on tarps.

[@Patrickb24v]

looking forward to the next video, great series.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you sir.

[@kevinbungles]

A good review and great overview of each setup

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you Kevin. I really appreciate it.

[@dovahkiinsadventures7632]

Excellent video! Thanks for all you do. Getting ready to get a double end stuff sack for my ENO profly xl.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

The double end stuff sack is the way to go. All my hammocks and tarps are in them. So much faster and efficient. Don't for get the snake skin too. I will show more on how the two work together. Thanks again The Hiking Dovahkiin for watching and your comment.

[@ricardoneto7789]

Another great video! Thank for all your work making this video

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thanks Rick. I really appreciate

[@WyeExplorer]

I always thought of it as Cuban Fiber. I like the Hex design - just looked them up and found some suppliers - Hennessy being one. End to end that was a well informative video bro. You did well on this one. Thanks for sharing. All the best for the week. Mark

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Even though the name changed. I will more than likely always call it Cuben fiber. Even though you will lose some material for protection. The Hex tarp handles very well in strong wind. Plus they now become lighter to carry. I always enjoy hearing your insights and comments. thank you Bro. Have a great week.

[@WyeExplorer]

You're a traditionalist bro and why not. Yes, the Hex design looks good. What's the word Ergonomic - built for purpose. A pleasure to watch and comment...

[@robmdq]

Great info on tarps materials, yet makes me wonder if no one up ther in the North isn't making PC-31 (Icarex) tarps, the material is awesome, ultra light weight and is 100% water/wind proof

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I will have to check that out. Thank you foe sharing that Ryker Vorton.

[@robmdq]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine still, my greatest concern if i were to use a tarp (not at all advisable in my area due to bugs and snakes) would be a fire proof material

[@ricecowboy]

11:02 isn’t silpoly silicone impregnated polyester fabric rather than PU coated nylon?

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Yes. You are correct. Silpoly is polyester fabric impregnated with silicone. Thank you for catching that ricecowboy.

[@kke]

I see a lot of people in this kind of videos setting their hammocks real loose, almost U shape. I make mine pretty much a straight line when I'm not in it. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but if I set it as loose as it is here, it will be more like sitting than like laying down.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

That is a great question kke. Would it be alright with you to us your question in a Q&A video. This way you would have a visual of how I answer it.

[@kke]

​@@AdventureswiththeMarine You don't owe me anything, do whatever you want to :) I manage just fine with my setup, but feel free to make a video with my question in it 👍

[@millennialhmong7121]

👍

[@remyllebeau77]

Good stuff.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

It is always good to hear from you Remy. I hope all is well.

[@datznasty1475]

Yes Cuban fiber b!

[@GrumpyGrunt]

One of these days, I hope to have a hammock/tarp/gear collection to rival yours.😆 S/F

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Christmas is coming. Have you been nice?

[@GrumpyGrunt]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine That would strongly depend on how we defined "nice". I am NOT expecting any high end camping gear, if that tells you anything. Coal and switches for my Firebox stove, maybe.

[@michaelf6232]

Cuban fiber or carbon fiber I don't have any Cubans to fiber😉 but I do have a couple of Cubans to smoke 😎
