I am in the process of making a tarp for my HH. I want to make a square tarp picked diagonally. Both to make it easier to pitch and easier to make. I am also going to attach it directly to the tree instead of the hammock.
My question is on the size. I was looking at Jeff's website and pics on it, and of the pics of the camo tarp that neo found online.
Should I make an 8'x8' tarp or an 9'x9' tarp? I am not to big on shelters, so I want a tarp that will provide more than enough wind/rain protection. Weight wise it should only be a difference of 2.5 oz.
I have enough sil-nylon to make both, so in the end that might happen. I wanted a second tarp left at home as a backup.
