    Are you Yellow

    The first Yellow Cat
    I have to seam seal the ridge but I just had to get some air under this thing.


    It took me about 10 hours or so and lots of concentration.

    Very nice and very...umm...yellow

    A word on the little bit of slack I'm seeing in the pic - don't be afraid to tension the crap out of that thing. I can see you reinforced the corners, and assuming you made the tie-outs as per my directions as well, it'll take a LOT of punishment. A tarp that big is going to have some stretch to it - so if you want to get that nice, flat, taut pitch the cat curves provide, don't be shy with the tension!

    If you put a smiley face on the sides, everyone will have a nice day. Just kidding.

    I actually think the yellow is appealing, but not stealth.

    It would be hard to lose your campsite with that tarp.

    Looks great Jazilla. I have always liked yellow.

    Yellow was the last sil at Walmart before they got ride of the fabric section. BB, I pitched it with 550 cord just to see it up. I had been looking at a pile of yellow all weekend. I do have one question. What length trip tease do you guys use on your tie outs?

    I use 9' all around. Longer than most people. But I have had too use almost all of the length a few times. Then again I was on a big slope and do not want to pitch my tarp close. I usually have the excess length in a daisy chain.
    Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?
