Welcome to HF from NC!
You know I'm a bit jealous that you live so close to one of the best hammocking/hiking areas in the world... I'll be thinking about that as I drive the 2.5 - 4 hours needed for me.
You may want to consider a tarp that will pitch about one foot longer (on each end) than your structural ridgeline.
Some just buy a entry-level tarp at first with plans to pick-up a more feature-rich (and costly) one in the future.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
When I was in college, it was a mere 65 miles drive to the Linville Gorge. I had a tent during my trip to the Gorge. It'll probably take me 1.5-2 hours now. Ah, well.Originally Posted by Loki
I got fall trips planned for Linville Gorge and hopefully get to trek the Shining Rock Wilderness.
Edit: Soon as I get my deposit back on my old apartment and from my electricity account, I believe I'm just going pull the trigger on the Wilderness Logics Tad Pole.

The tadpole is a good, light tarp. I have it. If you're thinking you want to get into winter camping though you may get interested in something bigger. I'm looking at the warbonnet superfly currently
