Camp kitchen, tarp by the fire, community tarp (if it's big enough), anything you need rain coverage for other than at your hammock.Quote:

We all like to be buttoned up and warm in our setups, but if there is not enough ventilation you will become drenched with condensation in your tarp.Quote:

i have used waterproof spray on my diy tarp. i have done this for the past 3 seasons with good results. i have not been in any really bad weather, but the normal rain shower did not touch the tarp.
I like this guy!Quote:

The woodpile comment made me think if hung properly I could actually put it over the fire to protect it from rain throughout the night in winter.Quote:
