Cloudburst tarp?

[Steve66]

Yes - this is the Cloudburst tarp with the Easton Aluminum Tent Pole set from eBay and the #4038 end tips from Quest Outfitters. I configured the poles to have two 18" straight segments on each side with an angled piece in the middle.

I like that Warbonnet added the tie out in the middle along the bottom edge of the tarp. I bought mine before they did that. I sent mine back in and had them add the middle tie outs. Much more secure in the wind.

I've just ordered my Ridge Runner, interested to compare to the BB XLC I've been using for over 700 nights (I have mine set up at home) and my Dream Hammocks Sparrow (ordered a couple of weeks back, RR might arrive first).

After using my superfly for the first time in high winds this last week in BWCA i wish i had that center tie out as well, the material between my ties outs were collapsing into the bug net. Also, for those that dont seam seal, my pull outs did weep water, i did seam seal, must have not done a very good job i guess.

+1 These larger tarps are like giant sails in heavy wind and require at least 3 tie outs along the bottom of the tarp but then again it's hard to add this middle tie out on a cat cut tarp if it wasn't designed for the center pull out.

Here are some shots from two BWCA trips I took this summer. This was the first season I've had the Ridgerunner and it might mean my WBBB XLC will see less trail time. It's so comfortable!
