    OES 12x10

    Well, I emailed Brian that I was looking for a stealthy, winter tarp. We settled on a black Silnylon, 12x10 MacCat with 5 tie outs per side (so you can close the doors). Less than 2 weeks from order to delivery (with his class load - OUTSTANDING!)
    The expected OES build quality and the weight (per Brian) ~ 19.4 oz
    This is the first time I set it up...not to shabby of a pitch. (full under ridgeline & shockcord to close the doors) It will get tighter!
    Set-up in winter configuration

    doors closed

    inside the hammock, looking out

    very cool...I had to share!

    Very Nice! Ordered something very similar from Brian Also. Hoping to get my hands on it very soon.

    I like the middle tie out idea. Good idea.

    no logo, but it does come with a built in SPOT that sends up bat-shaped smoke signals in case of emergency!

    I love my OES 12x10 too - very versatile tarp, especially when you add in a couple of extra tieout points like I did

    when considering vendors, I remembered your write up on your 12x10 from OES...then sent Brian an email.
    Thanks MustardMan!
