    Talking Holy DIY tarp Batman!

    It is a beautiful day here in Minnesota and I got to hang my DIY tarp for the first time. It's 10 1/2 x 8 1/2 and I made it out of Silnylon I got from BWDD. At times it felt like a never ending battle to get it done. But, I'm glad I did and would for sure make another one. Thanks a lot to everyone who helped me out with my questions. WOOHOO!

    Top-notch job there Fronkey. My first tarp I goofed and made it of rip-stop. Leaked like a sieve! Good practice for the next water-proof one though.
    Bet you can't wait for some time in the pineys under it!!!!!!
