You've really got to get over your obsession of turning me wearing little into me wearing nothing. You're a nice guy and all, but no means no. I don't care HOW long we're in the woods, you're just not my type even with the beard shaved off...

Very nice Evan, will be using it over the holiday, and perhaps take some pictures. I really like the color of the foliage DWR.

The more I look at that thing the more I like it. That is a very useful piece of gear or garmet. Even if you don't use it for hunting or back packing. I can think of many uses as an outdoor spectator sports wear.

Have samples out to two different domestic shops as we speak trying to find a US manufacturer that can handle this project. As a matter of fact, anybody who thinks they have a lead on such a facility, PM me.

Whammy seems to have a lot of time on his hands, maybe he could sew up a Serape or two between bottles........

I'd take TAK's word for it. I'm not a hammock guy so can't speak to what might or might not be effective.

So what are the thoughs now that folks have them and have had a chance to use them a little? Still thinking I really need to pick up one of these. Got a birthday coming up and I think one of these might be perfect.

Without modifying or any additional sewing to the item, I would use a couple of "pebble and loops" at either end using thin bungee and link those bungees to the main hammock suspension.
This way, any excess is doubled up under you anyway and it works even better.
I have remarked elsewhere before that the form factor of the poncho is usually extended to other uses - a blanket or a tarp. I always wonder why one would not use the form factor of a tarp and extend that to use as sleeping gear, poncho, hammock and... errr, a tarp. I always figured that I 'd rather have a large tarp than a little one and that a large tarp could possibly be folded and buttoned down for use as something smaller but a small poncho could never become a larger sleeping unit or tarp.
Anyways...
