My set-up is a Ridgerunner and HG Palace tarp. I used it on an AT thru and was very happy with it. The tarp even made it through the remnants of a hurricane with no issues. I'm not going to suggest a tarp change because tarps are such a personal choice (I got the Palace from my daughter who didn't like it and prefers a Cloudburst). I will make a suggestion about your hammock being so close to the ground though. My hammock straps are always above my tarp ridge where it goes around the tree. I'm 5' 7" and have no trouble keeping my hammock at a good height off the ground (without using a pole to nudge the straps up, etc.). I do always lay in the hammock right after first pitching it to "settle" everything in and then make adjustments if necessary to finesse the hang.
