    I think I know what I won now. After consulting with Dutch, it appears I have a 12 ft. Winter Tarp with no pole mods (no poles included) and no tarp pull-outs on the sides. The tarp came with two Stingerz and Grey Zing-It (non-continuous) ridgeline, four hook worms with shock cord and Orange Reflect-It, and four tarp door hooks with shock cord and blue Reflect-It. Total price for such a tarp, according to Dutch's website, would be approximately $238, maybe $250 since I can't find the four tarp door hooks with shock cord and blue Reflect-It on Dutch's website.

    I'm gonna need to buy some tarp sleeves for this beast - folding it up was no fun. So total cost for this tarp will be between $270 and $280, including the tarp sleeves. Total weight will be about 680 grams or 24 ounces. Add the tarp sleeves (approx. 1.65 ounces) and total weight will be around 25.65 ounces.

    I'm not much of a pole mod person but that's gonna add $40 per pole mod, so you could drop $400 on this tarp fully equipped with three internal pole mods. Add side panel pull-outs and it would be approx. $420. That's a lot of tarp!

    I look forward to using the Dutch Winter Tarp. It's a big, wide tarp - 12 ft. long by 11.5 ft. wide. That's a lot of tarp for winter. And it's polyester, which I like.

    As for all the cool Dutch hardware, tie-outs and cordage that I won, I've never used most of it and would never buy it: never used Stingerz, hook worms, or door hooks. Never had any Reflect- It cordage. Tried shock cord on my tie-outs, dumped it after a couple of trips. So I suppose it will be just as much fun to play with all the new gadgets as it will be trying out Dutch's new Winter Tarp!

    By the way, my 12' ft. Dutch Winter Tarp without any cordage or doodads is $180, and an 11 footer would be $170. Dutch provides the options to trick this tarp out to include cordage, Dutch doodads, and poles for pole mods, or whatever you want. But the basic tarp is $170 or $180.

    Those look awfully tempting... any chance you'd ever offer a 13 foot length option for those of us with Ridgerunners?

    Haha, you kid but in reality, it's a real bummer. On my last trip, I got there and set up camp and noticed that all of my gear smelled a little funny. It wasn't until I got settled into my hammock that I immediately realized what happened. The cat peed on my bag and soaked ALL of my gear. The tarp, the hammock, my cords, everything. It was cold so I tried to zip up the winter shield on my Clark and that actually made me sick. I think that was probably the worst time that I have had in the woods ever.

    Thanks, Dutch! It's not in the budget yet, but hopefully soon.

    If you select the internal pole mod, are the internal poles included in the price?
    Asked the question on Dutchware gear website but never got an answer
