also know by some as the Winter Palace.
but at this weight it is a tarp for all seasons.
Thanks to Paul at AHE mine has received a perfectly fitting cf pole.
Stormcrow did a beautiful job on the pockets and the tie on the center of the ridge line. This is IMHO the current ruler of all tarps:
That thing is BAD A$$. How many coins will that thing take?
Love the pole mod!

I love the pole mod too. I think it was TQ/ZQ who came up with it but not sure.
It sure beats the side pull out cords and all the real estate they take up and all the potential knotting in the stuff sack and it helps shed big wind that hits the tarp broadside by giving a dividing edge to both sides.
That is a sweet tarp, I mean palace!
How much weight does the pole mod add (including the pole)?

Good point about poles vrs pull outs.

Weighed the cf pole. 2.6 ounces.
Absolutely right, I love the pole mod, either way you do it, over or under. It's become a must for me. I'm so used to the crazy amount of space I get anymore and it just stablizes the tarp SO much, snow and wind become a non-issue. Also helps keep the tarp taught (though you don't really have an issue using cuben) But the pole is MOST DEF worth both ounces on my back forthe comfort it and space it provides. Also love not having to run MORE lines
