I have been using a Warbonnet Mountainfly tarp for the past couple months on my AT thru-hike. I recently decided to buy a HG Dyneema tarp with doors as a halfway done reward for myself that I’ll pick up in Harpers ferry.
I’ve heard you have to be more careful with packing dcf because it will lose its integrity or something along those lines. Right now I use a Dutchware snakeskin and I don’t roll the tarp or anything beyond just pulling the snakeskin over the tarp. Will that be fine for the DCF?
While I have this opportunity to change my setup, I am also looking into what to do with the doors on the new tarp. As it is, I don’t actually tie out the doors to stakes or the trees or anything, I just use mitten hooks and shock cord to clip my door to the opposite corner of the tarp. Is there any reason to carry an extra 4 stakes and have to worry about 4 more tieouts during setup instead of just clipping the doors?
