    Two tarps = 1

    So I got the Hennessy Hammock exped asym during the holiday sale, which means it came with a Scout. I was tossing up the idea of selling the Scout to subsidize the cost of the regular one. However, I think I might keep it (Still not sure) because it would be nice to have an extra for the significant other to hang on trips, but also, to connect the two tarps together to make one big one.

    However, I have no experience in doing this, how would you do it? Can it be done? They have a asym shape so the grommets would make for an awkward set up no? Any advice would be great, thanks HF!

    P.S. I was thining of entertaining a trade, Scout for Hex Fly. ??? Any bites? Again I am unsure of what I am going to do but if interested let me know.

    you'd have to pull off some sort of overlapping roof...

    I did just that, my other half used the hh that was too short for me...the tarps overlapping worked great, you just need to look at it like shingles. So when the water inevitably flows down hill it doesn't go into where you've overlapped them. It can get awful cozy sharing the same trees though

    Cool, thanks for the tips. I was thinking of the overlap ordeal, but kept picturing it in my mind and thinking the water would drip through. I suppose its one of those trial and error type deals. Thanks again
