phat Moderator Registered: 06/24/07 Posts: 4107 Loc: Alberta, Canada	Most of the time a 5x6 won't be long enough to cover a hammock. I tend to consider an 8x10 about the minimum for decent coverage. _________________________ Any fool can be uncomfortable... My 3 season gear list Winter list. Browse my pictures
