    Hennessey Expedition asym tarp

    Spent night recently with the Hennessey expedition Hammack, got a bit wet in downpour.

    Any tips or tricks to align this tarp appropriately to avoid this issue?

    A bit wet? Rain entering due to not enough coverage? Dripping down the suspension?

    Could be all the above? I just purchased the hex fly that should fix me?

    You have to pay special attention when using the stock fly. It is small, so wind direction is a factor. If you have the hex you should be good.
    If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong

    I have the XL hex. I'm sure I could get wet but not likely. I am sure I pay a weight and space penalty. I'm okay with that.

    The first night in my Hennessy five inches of rain came down and I was dry as a bone. "So," methinks. "All this talk of the stock tarp being too small is just baloney."

    All I needed was one trip with blowing rain to convince me to get a bigger tarp. Getting wet is just not an option for me.
