    Tad Pole Tarp

    I'm currently putting together my first Hammock setup. I have a DH Thunderbird on order and a HG Phoenix UQ. I received My Tad Pole Tarp in the mail yesterday that I had bought from a forum member.. I set it up in the back yard over a cheap Walmart hammock. I have to be honest, I was thinking there is no way this thing is going to keep my dry.. Just so happens a storm rolled in this evening so I got to test this little tarp out in a full blown thunderstorm. I was truly surprised how well the tad pole did,other than a little mist blowing in when the wind shifted I stayed completely dry, even though I had it set up a little high.. I'm sure once I get a little more experience with the tad pole it will be a great little 3 season tarp.

    Another happy owner of a Tadpole. Good quality product. More than happy with mine and I put it thru more in 2 1/2 months of full time outside in Maine last summer than most tarps ever see.
