Hi Guys,
I have various bigger tarps for British winter/rainey hammock camping.
But for summer I like to save the weight and have a smaller summer tarp, a rectangular TW hammocks 10' x 5' wide, which if pitched in an A frame covers the hammock ok. Obviously in an asym lay you do poke quite close to your head and feet with a simple rectangle 5' wide.
So out of curiosity I tried pitching it diagonally as if it were an Asym tarp but obviously without cutting off bits to make it a true asym.
It felt pretty **** close on the narrow edges even though I was leaning asymmetrically away from them.
Is this an accurate feel of how good a coverage an asym tarp gives?
Because personally from that test I preferred the A frame position.
Any thoughts on the lightest summer tarp options would be appreciated.
