I'm starting to think about the next tarp. At the rate of free time I have it may take a couple months to make. But I am thinking back to my idea of having one tarp with works for multiple things. More of a multiuse guy than a gear collector. I already have a great hammock now I need a good tarp and tent for ground sleeping. I know aww tenter, see the light, move of the ground, yeah, yeah.
My thinking is that I can make a tarp similar to the Warbonnet (props to Brandon) or the Speer winter tarp (props to Ed). I want to make a bugnet interior similar to the Rayway tarptent (props to Ray). I could put a zipper down the side to use the bug netting with a hammock. With a pad for bottom insulation and my sleeping bag for top insulation the only added weight would be the hammock and supports. I can use my trekking poles to hold up the ends.
Has anyone used any one of these tarps on the ground or have any suggestions? No real original ideas, just taking a little from everyone else's.
