Micro tarp

I hiked the foothills trail for a week last year with a 5X10 sil tarp over a narrow footed bridge, and didn't get wet at all. Required some creative pitching, but worked well.

I have and use a lot one with 6' sides. A DIY. Love it.

Now I just can NOT remember from Hammock101- Vid 10 what the dimensions on that tarp are ! I think 12 3/4 x 7 6/64, right ? I really Do like the size of this tarp, though! Might be next sil-project... whenever I get a chance for that !

wishin' for the time to hike,

Glad! I find it a handy size to lay/sit and see the woods and stay dry.

I am just finishing up a 68" (total width, so 34" on either side) by 132" long rectangular tarp. It comes down to the lowest point of my hammock. I am able to pull each of the ends in for winds that come in from either side.

Also, If it becomes a little chillier than expected I can pull the sides down around me for an impromptu vapor/wind barrier. Unless the rain is coming in sideways, I am protected from the elements. This gives little to any ground coverage underneath for equipment, but I put my equipment elsewhere so not an issue for me.

I just completed waterproofing it, so when I get it completed I will put pics up. This is my minimalist tarp to say the least.

I also have a 10' long by 5' (on each side) with snap on doors on one side and the other snaps closed. This is my winter/poor weather tarp.

I want to build an in between one (probably MacCut style).
