ok here's some visuals of my wife's tarp
We just got this modified winter dream tarp for my wife from Scott http://backwoodsdaydreamer.webs.com/tarps.htm Scott was great with offering help with her odd requests of a loud color, and the option of dropping the side panels down for "mock" doors (quick changing coverage when around other hikers). I've attached some pics scott sent us before shipping it out. The color in person is more like construction worker orange, but is called cantelope. This set up offers my wife the options of a large "porch", privacy "doors", and great winter/rain coverage. She is what you call "curvy" and 5'10" so she insisted on having a winter tarp for plenty of coverage from the arizona sun in the summer, monsoons in the late summer/fall, and northern AZ snow. Scott's work was awesome, and he put up with my wife for weeks on the design. I'm leaning towards upgrading my HH Hex tarp to a backwoods tarp for a bit more coverage myself. But a normal color.
