    I think I may have seen that in a diagram, but not a video. Nice find, and an excellent "design". Reputation added.

    Nice little set up.

    He mentions his tarp is 8X10. Mine's 10X8 and being the wrong size it's a shame I can't copy this configuration

    Good one. I like what he'd done to the tarp to. Basically he made a Jerven tarp...that is so cheap you will be willing to use it next to a fire.
    On my last trip I was a bit cold on my back sitting by the fire. Wondered about using my jerven bag as a heat reflector...but was afraid spraks would burn holes in the 200+ £ thing.
    So on monday it's off to buy some spray glue. And make that heat reflector. it can still double as my pulk cover and luanching pad for when I jump in the hammock...or I just get a separate one. With the pulk, weight idoes not matter:-)
    Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
    Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it
