To all Hammock Gurus...

I am on a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail and my dyneema/Cuban fiber tarp with doors isn’t cutting it. I have a Ridge Runner and have “buttons” installed to keep the poles from poking through. The tarp doesn’t go low enough for my liking and it does not have any side pulls either. Conditions are from 6000 feet to 1500 feet elevation and some high gusts that will affect the eventual setup in the woods. I am a new subscriber who has read many posts in the last few months, and went with a dyneema with doors - it is adequate but I need better coverage and more durability. I appreciate any and all responses. FYI - I spoke to Warbonnet and they suggested the “Mountianfly as well as an UQ protector. I would appreciate any advice on setup for these circumstances as well as tips to minimize the wind affect. Also - I always seem to end up with a final setup that ends up being 2-3 inches ground clearance under the UQ. I am open to all suggestions. Weight will be a factor.

Thank You All
