I know some use the clark hammock poles as spreaders, heck mine came pretaped/marked from SoaknWet when I bought my 270 off of him. I have some old fiberglass poles, I use they are a bit heavier but they spread the tarp better....Originally Posted by Wilder
Ordered the incubator 20 and next will be the superfly to take over for the nasty weather duties. I will likely just bite the bullet and get the Dutch pole setup for it along with his continuous ridgeline. Hopefully lots of pics and good reports will ensue.
Following the tarp will be the titanium goat cylinder stove (probably16") which will mean a mild mod for the tarp. That might be next year at this rate but its on the list. Lol

Don't know if you knew this, LOCO makes an under quilt for the Clarks..
As for a tarp, of your putting a wood stove in it, you might want to look at one of the Smokehouse II's..
Loco makes one for the Clark but I also have a ticket to the moon and plan to get a Sparrow. Possibly a Chameleon depending on how they rate. (one or the other though I'm leaning towards the totally custom Sparrow... Just not keen on $450+ for a single hammock... Yet I have the Vertex 2person. Go fig?)
The stove would share duties between the superfly and MY Big Agnes Slater3 which has a vestibule nearly the size of the tent. Its a fantastic foul weather tent. I'm not sure I'd take the smokehouse series backpacking as I think those are heavy tarps?

The smokehouse II weighs in at
Smokehouse Outfitter multicam 70d. 7.20lbs
Smokehouse Outfitter 1.35 Sil. 3.13lbs
Smokehouse Outfitter II – 11’8 MC 8.40lbs
Smokehouse Outfitter II – 11’8 Canvas 24lbs
Not bad for kayak camping. I set my gear for backpacking/motorcycle camping so moderate weight and bulk are concerns. I can take the whole condo with me in the kayak. Lol.
I'm far from a gram weenie but another 8+lbs in the form of one tarp seems a bit overkill to me. I haven't looked them up yet but would figure the pricing to be similar or perhaps more than the planned Warbonnet rig. 2 years ago I'd not blink at the price but having taken a $50k pay cut it was a while to save up for the incubator.

Out of curiosity I looked for them. Lots of pics, a few vids, but no website? Seems a popular idea but I can't find where to look the stats or find the dealer/makers site.
(it is easy to tell where Eno spent their money as anything with the word tarp gets flooded in the shopping link)

If your talking about a website with the Smokehouse II Specs, I don't think Mike (AdventureMyk) has one, I had to contact him vie e-mail to get all the info about his builds...
Send me an e-mail and I can send you a copy of what he sent me, or track him down on this board..

I'm AdventureMyk. Sounds like someone doing it as a side big, small cottage vendor. Definitely not a bad thing as everyone starts somewhere. The few prices I saw battered were double or more the full superfly setup I have planned so that would rule them out. Looks like lots of space though.
