@Suluk46 Please don't take my comment as a slam just personal preference. I use a 8x10 tarp , Now though I have switched to hammock so seldom hit the ground.
@medicjimr Not at all. I hope I didn't come across like that in my reply, and if I did, I apologize. I have many tarps, both big and small, and use them all. I just wanted to make sure others that read the comment would know that the pitches in the video are not specific to a small tarp size, and can be used on any sized rectangular tarp.
Tarp size is very much a personal decision and a larger poncho/tarp would most likely drag on the floor when used in poncho mode. Regardless, the intent of the video was to show how to pitch a tarp in various configurations. In this case, the size of the tarp itself is irrelevant. Any rectangular tarp (smaller or bigger then the one shown) can be pitched using these techniques.
Give it a try with any sized rectangular tarp, it will work! :)
@medicjimt, The Exped Bivy-Poncho may have the length for you.

My first Kelty poncho/tarp had snaps and straps to hold the extra length up higher.
Right now, Exped Bivy-Ponch offers snaps like that.
