    Post 4 Sil-nylon Tarps, 2 DIY, 1 OES MacCat Deluxe, 1 AHE Shangri-la (Picture heavy)

    Time to thin the tarp herd as I just got a "do it all" HG Standard Cuben tarp. All prices including shipping to US48. Per usual, the first "I'll take it" has priority.

    Tarps do not come with suspension, guy lines, or skins. A stuff sack will be included.

    1. SOLD TO NIGHTHAWK Arrowhead Equipment Shangri-la sil-nylon tarp. I purchased this tarp here on this forum a couple years ago. The HF member I purchased it from wanted a smaller/lighter tarp, and did a really professional mod job, cut the RL down to 106" (8' 10") He traced the cat cuts, and it looks super professional as you can see from the photos. Weight is 297g / 10.45oz on my scale for the tarp w/o stuff sack. It has a really neat a-sym + hex design. Tarp has been seam sealed (I believe originally by AHE as it looks very good) and comes with the original AHE silnylon stuff sack. A new seam sealed stock AHE Shangri-la will run you about $142.99 + ~$15 shipping.
    I'm asking $75 for this lighter/more minimalist version.

    SOLD to MILLERGEAR 2. OES MacCat Deluxe Sil-nylon Tarp - Also purchased this used on this forum. This has been my go-to tarp for the past year plus, been to around 8 hangs this year (maybe 20 nights total). Good cat cut design with good coverage, 11' RL (I actually measured it as 130" / 10' 10"). I purchased from a guy who tried to sew on a pole mod and side pull-outs somewhat unsuccessfully. When I received the tarp, I put a thick coat of seam sealer over all of the stiches, so it's good to go. Just got back from the Grayson Highlands fall festival hang a couple weeks ago where it rained all day and all night for 3+ days and it was perfectly fine, no leaks, no worries. One useful addition the previous owner did add was pockets for guy-lines at 2 of the tie-outs. My scale says 393g / 13.85 oz for this tarp. I can include a yellow nylon stuff sack made by Deuter.
    OES charges $126 + 8.75= 134.75 for a new OES Maccat Deluxe out of standard sil-nylon.
    I'm asking $70 for this one.

    3. SOLD to BIGFANBOY DIY Cat-Cut Sil-nylon tarp, 123" / 10' 3" Ridgeline. I made this after roughly copying the cat-cut shape of the OES MacCat Deluxe tarp above, I just found I didn't need the full 11' RL for coverage. This has been to roughly 5 hangs over its life (maybe 10 nights). It's been my wife's go-to tarp, and also survived the 3 days of constant day/night rain at Grayson a few weeks ago. No leaks at all. Binding on the edge is grosgrain. All tie-outs are reinforced, , RL tie-outs have beastie-D rings, and ground tie-outs have line-loc 3's sewn onto the tie-outs for easy adjustment. Just add some 2-3mm cord and it works great. Made out of 2nds quality sil-nylon (has a few streaks of over-coating, which does not affect waterproof-ness). Also has the seam running perpendicular to the RL. Seam-sealed and ready to go. Please keep in mind this DIY tarp probably has crooked stitches, so please don't expect perfection. Will include a nylon stuff sack. Weight for tarp is 420g / 14.8oz on my scale.
    Asking $65

    SOLD to MRCHEVIOT 4. Brand New DIY Cat-Cut Sil-Argon Winter Tarp. 12' Ridgeline, with doors. Just finished this tarp 2 weeks ago and seam-sealed it. I built this tarp to serve as my winter tarp, but I just bought a Cuben tarp which will serve that purpose adequately for NC winters. This tarp has not seen the outside except for seam-sealing. Reinforcement and grosgrain for all tie-outs to reduce weight. 458g / 16.15oz for this tarp on my scale. I will include a 5L REI Sil-nylon stuff sack with it (hunter green). This tarp is large and in charge, and I kind of hate to sell it. I spent a bunch of time doing the cat cuts and I'm pretty proud of it. 4.25 oz lighter than a UGQ Winter Dream 12 tarp, which sells for $150 + $10 shipping.
    Asking $110.

    Add-ons (add with any tarp purchase, sorry I won't sell/ship separate):

    5. SOLD to BIGFANBOY (2) Titanium dutch flyz $12 (or 1 for $6)
    6. SOLD to BIGFANBOY pair of DIY tarp skins made of noseeum .67oz/yd2 material - has pockets for suspension lines. Will fit any tarp above. weighs 29g for the pair $15
    7. SOLD to BIGFANBOY pair of DIY tarp skins - again noseeum .67, not as "pretty" stitch wise as the first pair, also has pockets, fits any tarp above, some pink stitches on them , not sure on weight $10

    I know these are a la carte, but do you have stakes to go with them?

    I have some stakes that I can include, they're steel pegs so they're best for car camping. Depending on how many I have, I will throw them in with the tarps until they're gone. I also have some titanium stakes that I'd let go for a few bucks apiece.

    Thanks

    What color is #4? I can't tell for sure in the pictures. Also, can you link to the sil-argon you used? I'd like to know more before I claim it. I'm tempted. Thanks.
