    Help me with winter tarp choice

    I have been doing some research on a new tarp for winter/weather. I live in Wisconsin and was thinking about going out for a weekend. Temps could be 0-30. I have looked at the warbonnet superfly, Mac Cat 4 season, Hennessy Monsoon or typhoon. Now I'm just confused.

    wilderness logics, old man winter. have used it up here in blizzards, 50mph winds and -40 weather. doors closed, snow up to bottom of tarp and I only had to stop to walk under it( I am 6') bullfrog from WL is even larger(3" a side)
    you want doors!!!! look for tie out points!!! I went to the old man winter because of that. without mods, there is 3 along the bottom, doors have their own, plus 2 half way up the tarp to guy out. that is 10 tie down spots.

    +1 on the Old Man Winter Tarp. It is bombproof

    I have a Warbonnet Superfly that I absolutely love and my buddy has an UGQ Winter Dream 12' that is spectacular as well. However, I don't see you being disappointed in any of the choices that our cottage vendors have.

    I like my old man winter and have heard good things about the super fly.
    When I was a kid the only time we were in the house was to eat and sleep.

    I have the Wildernesslogics Bullfrog with a 12' ridgeline, panel pulls and a pole mod. Great tarp and gives you lots of room underneath

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    I might add, I was playing with a grey poly tarp from wally world it was marked at 10'x12', and Even thought the superfly is only an 11' ridge line, the way the doors are designed, it feels so much more roomy inside.
