After agonizing for months over which tarp to get for my new BlackBird hammock I think I finally found a good fit with the Big Daddy tarp from Wilderness Logic. My reasoning was as follows: Of course a cuben tarp was at the top of my list but having just bought the BlackBird I didn't want to lay out the money right now for cuben. A spinn tarp would have been my next choice but apparently they are having production problems with the material right now. I wanted something with a little extra size due to the frequent horizontal rains we get here in Florida. I have a Hennessy with an Asym tarp and the coverage is not so great in a storm. While the Big Daddy isn't the lightest tarp on the block for the price it can't be beat and when the price of cuben tarps comes down some then I'll look to trade up. Below is a link to the spreadsheet with some accumulated info that I used to make my decision. Hopefully this will help someone in their decision.
