    Winter tarp now complete.

    Weights 19.4 oz in stuff sack.
    Ridgline is around 11 feet (slightly longer I believe).
    1.1 Silpoly in Olive Yellow from RSBTR (only 9 yards though) and components from their kit.
    1.5mm guyline cords with some shockcord loops on the corner/door tieouts.
    1.75mm zingit ridgeline.
    Ridgline uses 1" D rings while the rest of the tieouts use the 3/4" beastee D rings.
    No catcuts (trying to roll hem the curves on my hex tarp caused me to want to break things.)

    I had previously made a .9 Henon Sil double ended stuff sack for my hex tarp that was much too big. Using that for this tarp for now. It's still overly large. I really need to figure out the dimensions better, as the stuff sack for the hammock with topcover is a bit small, while the stuff sack for the orange hammock is just a tad large.

    Previsions to add side panel pullouts and a single pole mod are in progress.

    I don't have any single fabric piece of any of my fabric scraps long enough for tarp tubes but I think I can probably make a two piece tarp tube using different materials for each half. As long as it's functional...

    More DIY:

    Fullish length underquilt that can double as a top quilt if necessary. I really boned myself. It is just too short to be effectively used as a top quilt for my height (comes to armpits when laying straight, works well if on side with knees bent) and longer than a really need for a summer underquilt. I should have either made it 5" longer, or a foot shorter. Oh well.

    Weights 16.85 ounces in the stuff sack. That's only 4 onces less than my partial length 3 season underquilt.

    Installed on my Hennessey. It has a side channel suspension, corner loops, a side loop (to secure together in top quilt mode), and of course end channels.





    Hammock neck pillow.

    How's that tarp holding out for you? I'm about to do one after I make my TQ.
