Pole mod on kelty Noah 12???

[Ujjc001]

I can't find any example of someone using the side tie-outs on the kelty Noah with poles for a pole mod... I have the tarp but not the poles. I don't want to fail if someone has failed before me ... Anyone ever seen or heard?

I have used the side tie outs on the noah 12 with a hiking pole to the ground, but not with an over-the-tarp pole. This was the first time I set up the tarp - have gotten better at it since then. This worked really well to increase the space available under the tarp.

I have wondered this too. I think the Noah tarp side pulls are positioned differently than say a WB SF tarp. They seem to be lower on the side and thus I think a longer dog bone/attachment point would be needed. I think it would work though.

Here's what I did. Works great.

76" between pull outs on the Kelty, so from Quest, I ordered:
- 12 X 13" .344 poles with inserts
- 2 X 13" .344 pole without inserts
- 4 end caps
- 182" or round up to 6 yards shock cord

To connect the poles/end caps to the tarp pull-outs, I used some very specialized adjustable straps made by Jared at Simply Light Designs for his pole mods. But you can use standard line like in the Superfly pole mod thread, such as a zing-it dogbone.

Though I've since switched to using a WB SF and WL OMR because of their pack size and weight advantages, opening up the Kelty Noah 12 with poles makes it crazy big inside. Much bigger feeling than the more "standard" hammock winter tarps.

Thanks for the itemized list of pole mod components, thinking of using this tarp with two hammocks vs the two WB superflys since my younger son feels too isolated when under his own tarp.

I wonder the noticeable difference between a pole mod vs just pulling out to a hiking pole or stick or tree or whatnot, I. E. How much is out vs. up?

For me, the reason I choose poles is about having less lines around the campsite, especially at 3 am. :-)

But you do have some flexibility, with and without the poles, of where you tie down the tarp sides. In colder weather, I tend to hang the tarp lower, closer to the hammock, and tie the tarp's bottom side tie outs almost straight down to the ground. In warmer weather, I'll angle the tarp sides outward more, because I'm not as concerned about wind and retaining heat.

Hey would you have any pictures of finished mod?

Has anyone tried these with a Noah 12?
Edit: I should have clicked the link first. I thought it was to Dutch's old pole mod kit. *oops*
