Anthony said:CM, do you find the dd tarp a good size? I like the look of it but I think 3m by 3m seems quite big. I only really want the tarp for cooking under when the weather is bad, a shelter to keep out of the rain when I don't want to be stuck inside my tent, and a bike 'garage' like you mentioned.
I was also looking at the msr e-wing. Has anyone had experience with that? It is extremely light and compact but it seems quite expensive and is it too small? Any thoughts?
3m x 3m seems big, but that is the area covered when flat. Once you start sticking poles under it to create room underneath the floorspace reduces.
If I create an A frame 'tent with it, when I lie under it (at 1.78m tall) I am only 60cm from either end. Sure, there are smaller lighter weight tarps, but at 650g the DD 3x3 tarp isn't in spoke-bending territory either.
