Ok, even though I want to make my own hammock, I have stumbled into a basic hammock that will work. It has no bug net or tarp, though. I can forego the bugnet, but a tarp is obviously a must-have item. How large should a tarp be to provide 100% coverage from rain, and have enough area to cook under? I am considering having an asymmetrical tarp, where it heads down very steeply on one side, but leaves the other side much more open, like an awning on a porch if I used trekking poles or sticks. It would have to be short enough on that side though that I could pull it down to the ground for rain coverage and not have 'extra' tarp sitting on the ground. Let me know if there are existing ideas/plans/threads on this... my search results seem to be more clueless than I am. I look forward to hearing your responses!
