And those with WBRR's. Heck, I could go for a 14' tarp. I've had better luck where I am finding longer distance spots that are better than shorter ones.

Can someone explain to me why this is so? Not really a factor on the RR, but I use an 11' Claytor for my go-light setup.

And personally, coming from previously using a bottom-entry Hennessy, I find it annoying getting in and out if I don't have my tarp high enough over the top-entry hammocks.
