I've been in situations (cliffs) where I've strung a line between two-trees, and folded the point of the tarp around that line and back under the hammock. (blue line in graphic) This also works when up against a rock wall or similar.</p><p>I've actually had a lot of experience pitching on "cliff edges" (usually no more than 20-30ft drop). For one I just tied to a full 1L water bottle (could use a bag of rocks, etc.) and let it hang over the edge.

I've done this with a cross-rope to double back the one point (because there is an obstruction or empty space beyond).</p><p>The diamond becomes a hex if you use the four orange pull-outs shown here. Some square (diamond) tarps have such pull-outs.You can have it both ways!</p><p>Hybrid example: if the wind was coming from the upper right, you could use the corresponding pull-out to "dip" the fly in that quadrant, so only one extra rope needed.</p><p>Thanks for the feedback!</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/HammockCamping" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HammockCamping</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rainfly" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Rainfly</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tarp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tarp</span></a></p>

Poverty Alliance<p>The Scottish Human Rights Commission says the human rights of people in rural and island Scotland are being undermined.

Poverty Alliance<p>It's not right that it costs 15-30% more just to get by in remote rural Scotland than in rural areas, and it pulls people into poverty.
