OK, I have decided to get a vertex. What do you think; should I bother getting the Clark tarp, or should I go with a different brand tarp? My concern is that it is way too small as is the standard tarp, which comes with the NA. Thanks.

I forgot to mention: I am looking at the JRB cat tarps as a possible replacement.

The tarp on the Vertex isn't that bad. It is a little lacking (a little) on the side protection, but I can't imagine the JRB cat is going to be much better. It is a really wide set-up. A custom one might be the ticket, just get it REALLY wide.

However, one benefit of getting the JRB is that it would work better for my individual hammocks. I've been wanting one for a while too. The dimensions on the JRB are quite a bit wider. Something like 2'-2.5'. Without ever seeing either in person it is tough to make a decision.
