I had an idea about hanging my hammock and tarp that I tested today. Basically, the idea was to take an 8×5 tarp and clip it diagonally above my hammock. They would both be on a single carabiner. The problem I encountered was that the tarp wasn't quite large enough to cover the area where I would be sleeping. When I laid down in the hammock, it exaggerated the openings. I feel confident that if it had been raining with any wind blowing, I would have gotten wet. It might work if there were only a light sprinkle or no wind.
Is there some way to make this work, or do I need to go back to the drawing board?
