Hey guys, considering selling my MacCat Deluxe tarp I got at Christmas.
The tarp's specs are listed here (it is the deluxe model)
http://www.outdoorequipmentsupplier.com ... _tarps.phpNote guys it is also professionally seam sealed and I had 4 panel pulls added, (this was an additional $16). I will also include the high vis spectra tie outs I added.
I really want to get a large tarp for ground use aswell and can't afford both =(
I paid roughly $138 for the tarp and then paid the postage of approx $30.
Will consider offers.

Do you mean a large groundsheet?
I don't see why you have to use the tarp you have only with a hammock.

Fair point however the MacCat has Catcuts which allow gusts through if the weather is fowl and i want something that provides fortress like cover for ground and hammock use.

I dont have a tarp for my hammock, but i'm kinda leaning more towards a cuben tarp.

It's the grey colour, I really disliked the brown =)
As for the cuben tarps its really a personal thing to decide whether to invest if I were you ask around on the forum about the advantages etc, but in the end everything costs $, especially cuben =)
Ill have to look at how much is cost me later tonight. Have to go out now. But cheers for the enquiry. Feel free to leave a offer.

Total weight including lines and stuff sack is 460 grams. Packs to nothing and would be great in an outside pocket.

Catenary cuts. They are curved cuts along the edges of the tarp that help give it better tension.
Here's a with and without image:
