    largest camo tarp available

    After hanging this weekend in some rainy weather, i think i would like to bring an extra tarp along to use as a common area.....so my thought was to use my existing tarp that came with my nx-200 as the common area tarp and buy another tarp to use above my hammock.....with this thought process, i would like to find the largest camo tarp available...im learning that the term tarp is really a generic term as there are so many different styles, shapes and ways to configure them.....
    I guess my question is which tarp have other nx owners found to be the best match for their hanging set up....

    As far as camo goes, I think the Claytor tarp would be the largest. Sportsman Guide use to have the 12'x'12 in camo, but now all they carry is white.

    What's the weight of the Sportsman's Guide tarp? I did not see it listed. Thanks!

    It's kinda heavy because it's coated material. Think it's around a couple of pounds.

    The Claytor tarp is not very large at all.

    It's a 13'x10' tarp according to the website. I would hate to see what you call a large tarp.

    The BIG FLY (3x4m.) has room to cook under and kick back. The 13'x10' diamond tarp is only big enough to just cover the hammock it's self. I'm not so much an untra light as much as ultra comfortable :-)

    .....warbonnet doesn't make the supershelter. You are thinking of Hennessy.
