Anyone ever try using 2 tarps for 1 hammock?
Staying warm and dry matters far more now that I'm older. If it looks stupid and it works, then is it really that stupid? See attached image and let me know your thoughts.
Gold Armor 14.7 ft Black Rainfly Tarp ($42)
4 TrailBuddy Trekking Poles - Set to 130 cm ($40 pair)
Wise Owl "Standard" Black Tarp ($26)
I found that strong winds can pull out stakes from the larger tarps. An easy fix is to set double stakes for each corner of the 14.7ft tarp. Set the 1st stake at 45° angle towards the tarp and get all lines tight. Then lock that stake by pressing in another one sideways at 45° crossing in front of it. This creates an X and the inner stake locks the outer stake from moving. Using double stakes for the corners of both tarps has never failed me!
