Hanging in the woods, paddlin and catching trout- My kind of living...

Ready for test.
One long skin, stuff sack and 6 new stakes
Total 733 grams including everything. Not the lightest tarp in the world but it was never the intension and it is big.

Lately I have made my stuff sack’s bigger because it’s so much easier and faster to pack whatever it is without a fight and seize wise it’s the same in the backpack but soft.
Now I have to wait for a opening in the weather for the first test/photo shoot(read rain
)

Finally the rain stopped so I could make a test. I feared the doors was a little too big but it doesn’t look like it.

So far i am happy with the result.
Maybe i will add some small Velcro strips to the doors.

Well done, Snowball! That is a fine piece of gear. Enjoy it!
You've turned out a very quality piece of gear my friend. Congrats!
Great looking tarp.

I really like how your tarp turned out. I have the same fabric (winter 12 kit) from RSBTR and am planning out how to do my tarp. This will be my first DIY, and I have a couple of questions.
1. Did you cut the doors at an angle, or is that bottom hem straight from door pull to opposite door pull (all the way through corner pulls and center pull)?
2. The ridgeline: did you complete the flat-felled part of the seam, then fold it over again to sew the grosgrain on, or is it just the french seam encased in grosgrain?
3. Do you think you are going to need to seam seal that ridgeline?
4. What angle did you use for the corner pull outs?
5. Can you post the lengths of the 1" (25mm) and 1/4" (6mm) grosgrain you ordered?
Thanks
