Anybody ever tried to use their tent rain fly instead of a purpose made tarp?
I was looking at tarps and somewhat dismayed by the price when I glanced over at the tents and realized that the rain fly on the tents is essentially the same thing. I have a four person tent, and I started to wonder, can't I just tie two corners of its rain fly from tree to tree and stake the other two corners?
Am I overlooking something? I might give this a try later, unfortunately I don't have any good trees in my backyard to experiment with, so I'm playing with my indoor hooks in my office, but they're not a good test... most of my focus there is my makeshift UQ using a cheap sleeping bag, which isn't going very well so far...
