    Great trick. Could've really used this when hunkered down through a torrential downpour near Mammoth Cave National Park during a long road trip. That night's dinner was terribly dreary.

    Maybe I can do the one tree method with my cargo rack though. However, a better comfortable solution for rest stops would be great though.

    The 11' tarp is great for 11' hammocks. Unless you have a bridge hammock, the 13' seems to be a luxury winter tarp if you can even find trees that far apart.
