That's some very good advice right there! Bigger isn't always better.

I'm happy with a tarp RL the same length as my hammock, 11' hammocks and 11' tarp for me thank you! Ideal trees are difficult enough to find where I hang without increasing the distance necessary between those trees because of the tarp.
