I'm having trouble deciding which tarp and which options to order from wilderness logics. I'm certain I want a wilderness logics tarp because I'm so happy with my light owl and the service I received last time. I wrote Marty and he helped some, but it's just not clicking for me. So I'm coming to the forum hoping the wisdom of the group can help me.
Let me tell you a bit about how I plan to use the tarp. I primarily canoe camp. That means weight and space are not of much consideration for me. When we get to camp it means primitive camping without an easy option to bail out if the weather gets rough. My camping is primarily in the southeast us, so snowfall while camping is a rare thing indeed, but real thunderstorms with very heavy down-bursts of rain are fairly common. One of the things I like about hammock camping is the ability to be in the hammock but still able to look around and enjoy the view. I think that pushes me towards a hammock that is easy to use in porch mode or a more minimalist tarp, however I like the idea of doors to cut out some draft.
I think that is pushing me towards a bullfrog with a pole option, but I'm very unsure. I don't understand the pros and cons of external vs internal poles. The bullfrog would need dual internal poles.
I've read here that one person that seems to know his stuff said if he only had one tarp it would be the OMW with doors. I don't understand the advantage of this over the bullfrog.
This tarp will be my primary tarp for all weather, but I could always buy a tadpole for backpacking if I wanted to cut some weight. So what do you guys suggest I buy now?
