So, I've been looking around to find a configuration for combining two ponchos to create a shelter for two…
I understand the premise of shelter halves, but I've read/heard that rain leakage can be an issue. Either way, I'm trying to get my ladyfriend to continue on our lighter pack-weight kick(currently, we've owned a msr hubba hubba for three years and tiring of it's unnecessary weight). On the other hand, it has added functionality becuase she only goes on about 75% of my outings. With a configuration like this, I wouldn't have to change out gear in my pack simply b/c of her absence(she actually joins me as a 'section hiker' during a few of my longer jaunts sometimes, which would facilitate the idea of a modular tent).
Also, as a consideration for our sizes, I'm 6'4 and she's 5'4. Would it simply be easier to cover the open end of the smaller poncho setup with the larger poncho staked to the ground into the wind?
By the way, there are plenty of trees here for vertical supports.
Thanks for the all of your help and looking forward to criticism, both positive and negative.
