Double Duty Tarp

[Totoro85]

Excellent, thanks for the leads. I emailed zpacks with some questions.

Te-Wa: Did you order their hammock tarp or one of their rectangular tarps? Also, do you find the seams hold up sufficiently in windy conditions? Did you seam-seal?

Thanks!

I've got my rectangular tarp that does well as a ground tarp. I'd also recommend making a rectangular tyvek hammock cover that can spread out flat and serve as the floor too. I made one does it and only weighs about 5.5 ounces.

How much confidence do you have that would keep you dry in a modest sized storm?

I've used an 8x10 Siltarp2 for 3 years. Pitch on the diagonal when there's a large distance between trees, tent-style when space is short. Many on-the-ground configurations possible, designed to be used with trekking poles. Inexpensive, lightweight, versatile.

I got mine with my REI dividend before they switched to Kelty tarps.

You can see many pictures of this tarp in action in my BGT Warbonnet review.

Happy New Year!
