I got Dutch bonded seam winter tarp with doors, with a twelve foot ridgeline by11.5 foot width. I ordered internal pole mods.
By using internal pole mods, I can eliminate most need and use stakes!
After inserting pole mods, instead of staking tarp to ground, the guylines are tied to base of same tree as hammock!!!
I still use one stake on each end to secure door flaps. This almost completely closes the doors.
This greatly reduces chances of stakes getting yanked out of ground by wind gusts, because guylines are tied to tree instead of stakes, except for door stakes
And now there aren’t guylines and stakes to trip over!!!!!
To use porch mode, allow one side of guylines tied to bottom of tree, to be longer—automatic porch mode. The internal pole mods spring into action, holding tarp up without hiking poles, and without guylines extending to other vegetation or tarp guyline stakes.
Thank you Dutch!!!!
