I have Dutch’s bonded seam winter tarp with doors and two internal pole mods.
Tarp side guylines are tied to base of trees hammock is on.
Eliminates anyone, including me from tripping on tarp side guylines and stakes.
Eliminates four stakes.
Windy weather less likely to pull stakes from ground
By loosening tarp side guylines—automatic porch mode.
I do use two stakes to secure doors closed
I exit sides of tarp, even though I don’t have Dutch’s new side door.
Been thinking of ways to eliminate two stakes at ends for doors.
Maybe add sewn on pockets on bottom corners of door flaps. At camp, add items to weight door flaps down-closed. The door flap corners would be tied together.
Probably others have already tried this idea to eliminate tripping on tarp side guylines.
No great weight saved, since there are two collapsible poles for internal pole mods.
Thanks Dutch!
