Tarp/Bash help

[humdrum_hostage]

My original post probably started in the wrong section so I thought I would repost here as Im not getting a response and there may be someone in here that can help?

If you don't want to read the thread go to the last post, basically I got something on eBane that wasn't what it was supposed to be.

A 3x3 DD tarp should do the the job, and be in budget for you. I've used mine regularly for the past 4 years and it's not let me down. It can be set up to shelter 3 people easily, bashas are good, but only meant for one. Good luck on your move to Suffolk.

Thank You. I have now bought a tarp but I was wondering what to do with the odd bits and bobs from the last purchase?

You could use it as some extra shelter or as a ground sheet.

So I was sitting round pondering and im not sure why it came to me but I thought..... my web tex tarp is 1.8m x 2.4m but my new DD hammock is 2.7m long. Now I am a complete novice and never slept out with any of my gear yet so I may be completely wrong but to me the maths doesnt add up? I have had a look at DD's website and their "small" tarp is 2.8m which made me think I might be spending some more money soon

Any help from the experienced would be very much appreciated???

DD tarp 3m x 3m. Pitched on the diagonal gives great shelter for a hammock.
