    Which tarp to you prefer with the WBRR or other bridge

    Before you say the cloudburst, know that i already have one but am looking for something with alot of room. My wife sleeps in a WBRR and right now i am using mainly the superfly just because it offers a bit more coverage with the doors than the cloudburst. At the Batona Winter hang this weekend i saw MrCheviots 144" OMW with the inner center pole mod. I really liked that set up and thing it would work great with the ridgerunner but wanted to see if anyone else had any other ideas. I;ve heard about the inner pole mod for tarps at each end creating a "covered wagon" look. I do not like the outer pole mods at the pullouts as it just creates a shelf that snow can build up on (found that out this weekend). So i would really appreciate any advice you guys may have and thank you in advance for the help.

    I own both the CB and SF, they are identical except for the doors IMO.

    I don't need to make my pack lighter. I need to make my (_*_) lighter.

    I chose the Superfly instead of the Cloudburst because of the included doors. I tried both external (short) pole mods and double internal (Hoop) pole mods. I prefer the full hoop.

    A small grommet is installed in a short loop of webbing and then is tied to the tarp at each corner where the D rings are attached. That way no permanent mods to the tarp were needed. The tips of the poles insert into the grommets and stop at the 'shoulder'.
    A video by 'Tendertoe' shows it clearly. That's where I got the idea. Tent poles can be found on Ebay for around $20

    THanks for all the insight guys. I am currently using a superfly with the pole mod but i guess my question is would the Old Man Winter or larger tarp with pole mod be better. I am not concerned with pack weight as this would mainly be a car camping tarp.

    Then I would say go with the OMW with a 13' ridgeline. He made that just for bridge Hammocks and that would give you tons of room. I use the double inside pole mod and it really opens it up.

    You can order from quest or look on ebay. You will want poles that are about 144" give or take 6".

    I'll be getting an OMW with 13' ridge line for my WBRR. I thought Marty said the interior poles were 114 inches and I can see that 144 looks a lot like 114 if there were a typo. If someone has the "official" poles for the OMW interior pole mod, how long are they?

    As far as attaching exterior poles, WL has those straps with grommets but you could just as easily Larks head a loop to the panel D-ring or webbing and larks head the other end of the loop to the end of the pole. I'm assuming the pole has an end piece that holds the line without letting it slip.
