Hey folks,
My only tarp thus far has been a cuben/dcf HG hex - I carried it for the entire AT and it served me well. I got splash up on my underquilt during any heavy rain, but it never affected my warmth.
Anywho I’m investing in a setup for myself and my pup so that splash up isn’t ok anymore. I picked up a larger winter tarp with doors and am excited to play with it but had some questions.
With the cuben, I always had to get the ridge line tight; always close to parallel to the ground (if the ground was flat). Always under the tree straps for my hammock
With sil tarps I see people often have lots of sag there and it seems to let them get the tarp much closer to the hammock. I like that.
Can you fine folk perhaps give me some pointers or other things to be aware of when pitching a sil poly tarp for the first few times as opposed to cuben?
