Wise Owl Outfitters Hammock Tarp, Hammock Tent – Rain Tarp for Camping Hammock – Camping Gear Must Haves w/Easy Set Up Including Tent Stakes and Carry Bag

I recently used this hammock tarp on a camping trip, and here are my thoughts on its performance.**Pros:**- **Rain Protection:** This tarp works great at keeping the rain off, effectively shielding the hammock from getting wet during rainy weather.- **Ridge Line:** It makes for a great ridge line, providing a solid structure above the hammock.**Cons:**- **Wind Protection:** I initially thought it would provide more cover from the wind, but the tapered edges don’t do much to block the wind effectively.- **Size and Setup:** The size of the tarp does not allow for the hammock to be placed high enough without being too close to the ground. This also results in significant gaps from stake to fly, which can be problematic.- **Sagging:** While it serves well as a ridge line, it would be better if the paracord extended the entire length of the product, as it tends to sag in the middle when pulled tight.- **Cordage Issues:** The cordage was tied so tightly that it took a considerable amount of time to untie it six times during the initial setup. I had to re-tie the paracord to allow for quicker untying, which improved the setup time significantly.Overall, while the tarp excels at keeping rain off and providing a good ridge line, its wind protection and setup issues are notable drawbacks. It could benefit from design improvements to address the sagging, provide better wind coverage, and simplify the cordage setup.
