    Talking Tadpole

    The Superfly is probably one of the best all round tarps if you want 4 season coverage though. It cost a bit more and weighs twice what the tadpole does, but it's a sweet tarp.
    Love my Tadpole also,.,,.

    BIAS WW coverage

    is fine with my ZPacks hex tarp (got the one with doors). Have not used in really cold conditions yet but fine down to freezing at the MAHHA.

    I'd third this. I usually pack my BIAS WW with the WL Tadpole as well. They just kind of seem to work well together.

    Cheers

    I have a 10'x10' bush craft USA tarp. In diamond mode it provides more then ample coverage. How ever with a standard pitch ( 10' ridge and 5' on ether side I have seen the ends of the hammock stick out a bit. If I reduce the hammock ridge line a bit it should be ok.
    Life looks better from a BIAS hammock.

    12' WL Tadpole. Works great. Spent a weekend in the rain a few weeks back and was perfectly dry

    My personal favorite it tncamper's 20×20 kently tarp. You could hang like 10 hammocks under it. Jot to try out my tadpole on my xl camper and it works good. So +1 on the tadpole

    Best tarp for a BIAS hammock?

    Siltarp 3 works really well with lots of extra coverage.
    Carpe noctem!!

    Toxaway works real good - longer hammock, longer tarp.

    Nice and roomy in porch. Can go right into the duff in storm.
    +1 on the Toxaway. Works beautifully. Same price point as 12' Tadpole, I think.
