Review on Grand Trunk Multipurpose Terrain Waterproof by Michael Caste

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not very good as a hammock or tarp

I had high hopes this would work. First off I have to say that when inflated the size is 2-3 times the size of a standard Grand Trunk double hammock. The material is fairly heavy denier. I can tell because it doesn't fold well at the gathered ends. As a hammock it seems roomy and strong until I used it, but with a polyurethane coating it doesn't seem comfortable. The build quality is mediocre, protruding threads and twisted seams. As a tarp it looks too narrow to be really useful. I have a lot of experience with canvas. Finally, it's not easy to thread the cords back through the sleeves to turn them back into a hammock. Basically I had to tie a piece of paracord to one of the carabiners and keep the sleeve upright by spreading it up and down while the cord went through. Otherwise you would have to mess with him and feed him. Cool idea, but impractical. I can carry both tarp and tarpaulin for the same package size.
