Just a quick response from those who wish to give their view.
Has anybody had experience with Backwoods dreamers tarps?
Am looking at the following tarps to buy.
Jacks R Better Cat Tarp
Warbonnet Super Fly
Backwoods Dreamers 3 Season Hex
Which one would you use as a Hammock cover? I like the bigger tarps.
Thanx

I can't speak to any of those tarps...but I love my Speer Winter Tarp. I was out last week and got caught on Siler Bald in NC during the storms that ravaged Tennessee. Stormed for over 10 hours...I had my tarp pulled down low over my hammock...closed the ends of the tarp....hardly got a drop of water on me...was great. It was my first time using the Speer Winter Tarp....I'm sold. Good luck with your choices..cheers.

Big blue, 10 by 12 feet, from Lowe's.
Seven feet of camper's cord off each corner, each with small bungies crimped into a loop for shock cording (Corner grommet, looped bungie cord, campers cord tied to that).
It's never failed me.
