One of the main reasons I chose the 12' HG DCF tarp is so I can pitch it with a little more overhang on the head-end side, which is great for hanging my pack from the CL overnight. And because it's 12' long, there's still plenty of coverage on the foot-end side. However, my issue with the 12' length is that I can only pitch it so low. Since the DCF tarp is narrow, side coverage could possibly become an issue, though I haven't had an issue yet.
So now I'm considering possibly getting an 11' Thunderfly or Mountainfly, so I can pitch the tarp low, but still use the mini doors on the head-end side to give some extra overhang for my pack. But a part of me would also hate to get rid of my DCF tarp.
