Grizz,
It has been hot lately... well over 100 on several occasions...But we are well.
No issue with your rephrasing... My point is the pole mod which the poster semed to think should help coverage ( misunderstood???) does nothing to improve the spreader issue for bridges...Which you agree on.
Since I am older...
...Weight is of paramount importance at any given comfort level...And as you also note, larger tarps probably save weight over smaller tarps with center pole bows...Volume I won't debate, it is hard to figure... Though I doubt there is much difference and one does not have to pack poles as well... Though they routinely go in outer pockets and don't effect interior volume...For that matter, So do tarps go in outer pockets at least for me...So I'm back to weight as more issue than volume, at least for me.
Given that my GG collapsible UL poles with straps and Leki tip covers make great spreaders for my modified BMBH and thus eliminate poles from my pack not adding other poles is desirable.
Hope to see you at the Fall MAHHA... You will probably like my UL solution to BMBH mods... Some who came by at TD noted the set up.
