I am looking at buying my first hammock tarp. I will be used mostly by my 13 year old daughter Sassafras. We just got off the A.T. after 1400+miles in an attempted thru hike (springer to half way thru new York) I promised her we would get her a hammock when we got home. She tried several out during our hike and she loved them. I set up her grand trunk ultralight in her room and she has been sleeping in it ever night. My wife is making a bug sock and after pricing material we think it would be better to buy a tarp. I think the wilderness logic tadpole would be a good tarp for her looking at weight/price/coverage, but want your thoughts on the tadpole vs big daddy if you could only have on tarp. We will get back on the trail for a few weeks and hike New Hampshire (she has hiked all of Maine so if we finish new Hampshire she will have about 300 left to complete the trail) and she really want ts to bring a hammock. We were using a big Agnes fly creek ul2. This would be the first time using our own shelters. We did stay in shelters for most of our hike, but started using the tent a lot in new Jersey when the bugs became unbearable. Kaboose
