Just popped for 2 new hennessy hamocks and getting 2 more next week for the family assuming everyone likes them.
My question is regarding tarps. I kinda feel like it would be better to get 2 larger tarps or one really big tarp than 4 individual tarps. (another reason I only ordered two at a time, I might just get the hammocks without the fly on the second order.) What would be the best shape and size tarp to facilitate this? It seems in my mind that a tarp cut like a trapazoid would work good for a 3 tree hang, being wider at one end to accommodate the extra distance between the foot end.
I'm thinking that with individual flys hanging in close proximity to each other it might be a pain to deal with and also cause problems with water shedding off one fly into the hammock of the person next to them. And just a tangled mess of guy lines, at two in the morning to navigate through. Plus just a more social experience not being blocked off from each other by the fly.
What are peoples experiences with this? I know people do it all the time, I'm just looking at what would be the best tarp shape and size to do this regularly and leave as many single flys at home as possible.
thanks in advance.
