Thanks for all your advice, and I think I have made the right decision for me to get full doors and just fold them back,although mountain fly was very very tempting
I recall a year or two back one of our members (intimidator) sold a custom HG cuben tarp with doors at one end only. That might the best of the best options out. I had just missed out on buying that. While I am sure someone could replicate it, I don't know of any vendors doing full custom these days.
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

Never bought the argument that overlapping doors are a prerequisite for any tarp - especially with regard to the HG Winter Palace. Just because doors overlap doesn't mean that all precipitation will be kept out. If you've ever been out in any weather, you'll know that a huge rainstorm or snowstorm will laugh at you for thinking that overlapping doors is somehow going to protect you (especially when compared to the HG DCF standard, which MikekiM claims the doors can overlap). I've owned both the HG Standard and the Winter Palace, and I can promise you that I stay dryer with the Winter Palace than I ever did with the HG Standard. It's not even a valid comparison.
If I know that there is little chance of precipitation, I'll just tie my doors back. However, most of the time, I just close the doors on my HG Winter Palace. Better safe than sorry.

If the weather is good the tarp is only set on one side. Stakes and lines are in position if needed. If the tarp is set on both sides I use a light and always go out the foot end.

glad he enjoyed his hang
We kept him home when he was just a cub. But now, a few years old, Little Cougar occasionally accompanies us on an outing. Still gets a ride while on the trail but occasionally tries his paws at a tree.

In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
I like these Lol, a lot of bikers have little mascots they take with them and take photos visiting places, seems like hangers do as well
