I also find it very hard to get a tarp larger than the stock HH tarp into the snake skins. I have the hex tarp and while I can get it in the snake skins with the hammock it is an absolute struggle to do so, and then finally result is a snake that is soo tightly packed that it can easily be folded down to a smaller size.
