    I have the poke mid from WC, it's a three piece pole, doesn't seem to do the trick. How many sections or how long is your pole mod? I have a WB Superfly... Thanks
    I have slept in a hammock on every continent from -20 to +128, under direct and indirect fire, from frost to fungus except Antarticia.... But give me time... Thank you Uncle Sugar!

    The pole mod has 4x18" sections on each pole, and I'm using about 7 1/2" dogbone stk connect them to the pullouts. The pullouts on the cloudburst are located a little lower on the tarp than the Siperfly. Based on those location I do believe most people use 3x18" sections for it. I'm also using a continuous ridgeline above the tarp that the poles press against on the top vs pushing down on the ridgeline of the tarp itself. I love this pole mod. It opens up the inside of the tarp tremendously.

    I also think I'm going to really like the tree table. It was nice to sit on the folding stool and use the stove. I doubt it has much use other than being a platform to use your stove vs having to sit on the ground or bend over while using it. The only negative is it is just one more thing to pack. Definitely one of those "luxury" items and not a necessity. If I want to save a little over a pound in my pack I'll leave the stool and tree table behind.

    Savage Gulf / Stone Door in TN. We camped on the edge of the "rim" at Alum Gap. It is an awesome place to hike/camp.
