How big a tarp?

[ForgeCorvus]

Hiya guys
What do you think is the minimum size you can get away with for a tarp

If it makes any difference I'm 5'10" and in the XXL size range

I've just got some canvas and I'm wondering if its going to be big enough

Are you hammocking or a ground dweller ?

I've used army issue 6x4ft bashas when on the deck but for hammocking I like to have at least a 3x3m tarp, just bought the SOTP 4.5x3m which is a good size.

Get a 3x3mt tarp... leaves you plenty of admin area as well as sleeping area

8' x 10'. Anything less and you're gonna get wet.

Not sure yet, jurys still out on that one

I've acquired a piece of black canvas thats 90 X 39 1/2 inches, I could cut and shut it to end up with 77 X 45 inches, but I've a feeling this is gonna be too small?
