Thanks for the great info! I'm an American camping addict who just moved here to KL. Talking to my Malaysian friends (not campers) I didn't think there was any gear available here, so I shipped some of my stuff here... I'm planning my first camping trip here, and my flysheet(tarp) for my hammock has come up missing...I have been looking for somewhere to get another one...All I can find is plastic or heavy tarps. Can you direct me to a place to get a decent nylon water proof fly? Also any recommendations for where to camp would be great... Thanks again for the great site!

The tarp comes separate though. I find the material used extremely durable and strong and I doubt if it will be cheaper for me to make it myself. Not to mention the mossie net that is super fine. Yeah, the tarp needs waterproofing from time to time otherwise it becomes useless. I just use normal wax!

Waterproof the tarp periodically too.

Thanks for your input. Yup, I guess its about trying out some alternatives to find out the best solution for each individual. A big tarp would certainly be providing some extra comforts though!

Depending on the trip i.e. if you're with a huge entourage, then a big tarp would be beneficial. But if it's a 2-3 person group, then I find a 6ftx8ft to be sufficient. At the end of the day, you decide what is right for you. I use a 8ftx12ft. Depending on the trip i.e. if you’re with a huge entourage, then a big tarp would be beneficial.

In fact, I think he is selling the two items separately. That gives you a good option as well. No need to have the mossy net and can just lie in the hammock enjoying the view. I am using a 3mX2m flysheet. Yup...a bit small. A little bit bigger would be great. Actively looking for one now. Hi Ozmeister…I think he is working on in.

What size flysheet do you use? The army surplus one I have is about 6 foot and doesn't seem long enough. You should tell your friend at Outdoor Dynamics to sell this. What size flysheet do you use?
