    Hennesy hyperlite tarp

    I am going in a trip in 2 days and rain is in the forecast and I have not been able to use my hyperlite in the rain yet but with the hyperlite fly coverage is limited. And I know about the sag when attached to same ridgeline I read Derrick post on the ultimate hang about how to fix it with the 30°. Would doing the 30° hang along with the shock cord attachment instead of the provided ones solve the problem?any suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you want to spend any time around your camp, a bigger tarp would be welcome. If you’re hiking and only sleeping the stock fly might get you by if the wind’s not blowing. You can pitch a bigger fly close to the ground for windy days.

    Sorry to not answer your question about the ridge line vs separate line. I also hang the fly on a separate line.

    Derek's shock cord suggestion did not improve anything for me. I recommend hanging the tarp separately from the hammock. Buy some cheap nylon cord or mason's line at Home Depot until you can get a proper ridgeline.

    I bought the Hennessy poly Typhoon and find it to be just what I need. I'm dry. We're experiencing somewhat more rainfall this summer in the plains here, not too much violent weather where I am. But when the wind blows in Kansas, you'll know it. I'm waiting for a good ol' prairie storm and its sideways rain. I suspect this Typhoon will do just as well as I expect it to. Well designed products, those HH's.
