I am curious as I haven't been in conditions cold enough with a tarp - IE for the same reasons you mentioned I have always been "Naked under the stars" when it was below 20* or so - any how I have a trip planned for thursday and am debating bringing my UQP and the tarp or just the tarp. This trip will go for at least 2 days and I don't want to be wet on day 2. Lows are around 28* right not and moisture doesn't appear to be an issue. Suggestions? Trip plans are below but any suggestions are welcome. Hoping to try out some gear though - specifically my internal pole mods on the tarp and some stoves I have been playing with.

I totally agree!
This is the foot end of my hammock. If I had a UQ protector over this (I don't agree with that concept in general), it would have all (or most) been trapped inside...possibly wet and not frozen. This was at -1°F in the early morning. I was able to simply hit it/brush it off since it was frost. Dampness on the other hand hangs around you like a close but annoying friend.
Less is more, keep things simple, work the science.
