In this scenario since it is a laser cut kit I don't have extra fabric for either a stuff sack or what ever you might need.
Anyway since you "see" my vision - help me trouble shoot this. I don't think there will be any issue with leakage as you can seam seal 2 seams the same as one.
I think the advantage on this design is A) the height is standing level so you don't have to duck under the tarp as much - and as previously mentioned it will be a bit more difficult to set up in the tree but certainly not really necessary to go higher than arms length I would guess since the more angle at the bottom you create the shorter the overall height will be. B) since the ridge is a solid piece of fabric leakage should be pretty well eliminated unless you have pooling on the sides. C) you have a tarp that would truly service a side by side set up if you are camping with a significant other or someone who wants to be close.
