Looks good, need to see it over the BB now
Is it brown, hard to tell.

gunner,
I really appreciate the pics. It really helps to see the workmanship. Looks great. I just ordered one of these on Friday, same config as yours. Looking forward to it's arrival. Also ordered a 100' spool from Brandon and a ridgeline through WhoopieSlings. Gotta figure exactly how I want to do tie-outs, and particular if I want tensioners? Do you use them?

Brandon calls it a slate/olive grey (dark grey with a slight green tint). Still deciding what color it is but is dark, maybe a rear dark slate color but also translucent as I could see the other tarps beneath it.
Still figuring out how I will hang this tarp as I have used both under and over ridge lines. I do like using prusik knots. I bought a spool of bungee cord some months back to make some tie down lines with and played around with some different ways to use it but have not found a method I like yet. (but isn't that the idea... to play around with our toys).
I think the doors would be a nice option to get and have to put them on my wish list.
Don't know when I will actually get to hang under it. I am recovering from a blood clot in the leg and the Doctor has me on a high level of blood thinners and I really feel the cold in my hands and feet these days. It was in the high 30's low 40's today and I was wearing gloves, a tshirt, long sleave shirt, down parka and wind breaker and still felt cold

Ordered a Big Mamajamba w/panel pulls (i) - silnylon around the 8th.. 15 days ago.. someone got a clue of the approx time it take to get shipped.. if someone happen to have received one recently.. just wandering what Brandon waiting list look like
thank you guys
Mine shipped within a few days of order (about 2 weeks ago). If he's in-stock, my guess is your wait is due to customs. I received a package from Ottawa that was held at the border for ~ 7 days. I have noticed that Warbonnet's shipment notification via PayPal does not work for me. He does state that these get hung up in SPAM folders at times. That has not been my case.

I ordered one on the 14th and I'm still waiting for it to ship. It did give me time to add a set of doors to the order though!

I bought one when it was announced that he was selling the imported ones. It took a little over a week to get it. We have used it the past two weekends. The gf likes the extra room it gives her when the sides are pulled out. If I get a chance I will post a picture of it. I forgot to take any this weekend of it

Got to try the tarp out this week end. Tarp worked but I had to abort the hang as my feet and hands were freezing. Pleasant 18 degrees Sat night.
