howdy,
i'm new to the forum and have been reading and scaning over alot of the posts here in the past few days. so, here is a very short background.
i've been backpacking and camping for many years now, mostly PA and north. Have done a few week trips in canada canoeing. I've been been becoming more and more interested in hammock camping and in this early spring i would like to try a few over night / 2 night trips using a hammock. I've been pooring over sites and no one seems to compare square vs rectangle tarps, so .....
I have a question about tarp size, what do people prefer square (8x8) or rectangle (8x10) and why?
what i'm really trying to figure out if a campmor 8x10 would be a good tarp coverage wise or should i spend a little more money and go for a JRB (8x8) or something similar. all in all i would like to keep it under $100. it seems as though the cheaper tarps don't come square.
Thanks in advance.
