So I am buying a tarp for my ENO Single Nest next week. I have only taken my hammock on two trips and have made a poncho tarp each time, so this is my legit tarp. I have been looking around and think I am going to buy the ENO Fast Fly tarp. As a poor college student, I really only want to purchase one tarp as I do not really backpack in the colder times so this tarp would be fine for spring/summer/fall camping?

Yes, It would be adequate You can get a bigger tarp for cheaper if you look around.

Maybe not cheaper, but the BEST tarps IMHO: http://www.outdoorequipmentsupplier.com/products.html

I have the Single Nest and the Dry Fly. Just ordered a Claytor Diamond Fly for $45, shipping included. You can see it here: http://www.mosquitohammock.com/junglehammock.html

Or a DD tarp, buy it from their ebay site (www.ebay.co.uk) and you'll get a better shipping cost then from their website. The advantage is that it's very versatile as it isn't designed strictly for hammock use, check out the gallery on http://www.ddhammocks.com/

The cost for the tarp and the shipping would be 58 USD to the states.
