Hi everyone, as the subject says, I'd like to know from more experienced users if, to maximize bottom insulation, I had better using my poncho-tarp as:

1) ground cover, as earth moisture barrier (doubles as "carpet" when getting onto the hammock)

2) "Garlington"-taco insulator, as wind/air barrier.

...of course along with a tarp.

I also would like to share with you an idea I came up with (sorry no pics atm) to improve the "Garlington" insulator, in order to keep it as close as possible to the hammock (suitable for side entry hammocks with bugnet):

(I apologize for wrong terminology, hope you understand)

- on the entry side of the hammock, tye the corners of the longer side of the poncho where the hammock joins its strings.
- on the opposite size, INSTEAD of doing the same (you would end up with a "taco"), tye both the corners and a middle anchor point to the bugnet string, BUT do this in order to have all of the 3 knots close to each other, at the middle of your hammock
- "clean up" the tides of the poncho
It won't cover all the hammock (2 corners will be exposed), but doing this will let the poncho follow the shape of the hammock, letting it stay in contact.
