Time for a bigger tarp

[SussexRob]

Hi all,

I was hammocking this weekend, and the shocking weather on Sunday has left me thinking it is time for a larger tarp. Don't get me wrong, I stayed dry, but the living space under mt 3M x 3M dd tarp was starting to feel a little restricive!

My mate had the DD XL tarp, a nice 4.5M x 3M, and I was very impressed.

I was wondering though, before I go ahead and get an XL, are there any other larger tarps that you peeps like/use?

I use a Warbonnet Superfly which is plenty long enough

I've got the DD XL and it's long enough to close both ends up like a tent, even around a hammock:

I did some ground dwelling in it last time and it was like being in a spacious tent. If they ever come back in stock again, buy some Alpkit mini clippers

+1 on the Superfly, superb tarp

Hmmm, thanks for the info guys. I think so far, purely from a budget perspective, the DD XL is winning.

Useful pic there spandit, cheers. I have some cheap biners I got from the 99p store that I use, I am assuming they are similar to the mini clippers?

They'll do but the clippers seem very strong & they are tiny!

Cool, I'll keep an eye out.

Hi rob, what did you end up going with?

DD have just started doing a 4x4m tarp too.

It's available in green...they've stopped doing the multicam for the foreseeable future (shame, 'cos I like to blend in) but introduced a new 'coyote' colour in the regular & small sizes.

I'm saving up my pennies for the 4x4 as it will take myself and my two boys easily.

Maybe get a an ex army issued 2-3m as an add on. Take it in case the weather is poor again.
