    I've been no more than 70 meters from a main woodland trail which I can clearly see, but people do not notice. I went down to the path to have a look myself, and in only a few spots could I make out the outline of the tarp - for the most part, it was concealed because it matches the tree trunks well.

Anybody used or own one of the chinooks which seems to fit the bill.Got to fit on my motorbike with a dossbag and some cooking stuff is all.
    So that'll be a NO then?

    Have you got a Decathalon branch near you ? might be worth a look ! similar things mate, all set up instore.

    Decathalon have some decent budget stuff, A nice source of Carabiners if you get into hammocking, a quickdraw is only 7 quid, that gives you two carabiners.
