Not asking if you wanted weather protection or not, but I want to see why everyone chose the options they have (and to post what they use).
Me, since I will be doing mostly car/motorcycle camping I figured I'd go for the biggest tarp I felt good packing, which at the moment is the Wilderness Logics Big Daddy for the coverage in all black with lime green thread. I figure the color blocks a BUNCH of light in the AM providing a ton of shade and letting me "sleep in" as it were.
I do have, in the works, an Underground Quilts Winter Dream (the bigger one) in the works made to the same specs as the WL one as far as color goes, and I'll take it with me on longer trips where weather may not be the best and, obviously, winter. The doors will be great come crappy weather.
Now, with both you'll see (obviously) the large size. Since I will be on a motorcycle 90% of the time when camping, Ill need to be able to stow the gear in bad weather, and if need be I can put the bike under the tarp with me.
Also, I love porch mode (just ask JuneBugDawn) in bad weather, because you and a friend can sit (3 people if youre good friends, up to 6 if you put both sides in PM), eat and talk out of the rain and still enjoy the views.
