Better way, line the ground cover so the pointy ends, one will be at your head, other feet. Align blankets to match. Basically, you are going to rotate yourself 45 degrees from where you normally would lay on a blanket. Head at a point, feet at a point. Pull the extra blanket point material up around feet, ankles, etc, and try to tuck it in between legs. This adds extra material to cold feet. Grabbing right blanket point, rap, folding it around you, tucking it, under you. Do the same for the left side. You will look like an egg roll. Now do this the same way with your canvas cover. You should have extra material around your head, a hoodie, to use as a cover up, over your head, if necessary. It basically squeezing out a bit more length out of blanket and cover. You do the same in a hammock, a proper hung hammock looks like a banana, hung at 35 degrees, you lay on a hammock diagonally as much as possible. This gives more room and makes a flat bed.
