Here's a quick vid of my camp out near the Knob Stone Trail and the golf ball sized hail that accompanied the storm on 03/02.
I returned home that evening and learned that a tornado had devastated the area only a few miles away.
It was exciting to be out in a storm like this one, but I was sad to learn that the same storm killed and injured several people in Southern Indiana.
Hats off to the Maccat Tarp. It endured the hail with no damage and kept everything dry. The bottom of my underquilt got a little damp from the spray, so I may look into getting an underquilt protector.

Fixxed it for you.

WOW!! good the tarp held up and protected ya, hail can be deadly if you get caught unprotected! glad to see you made it home safely. This gives me (and others I'm sure)
more confidence in my tarp.
Thanks for doing that experiment for us, Catavarie! You put your tarp on the line for the Hammock Forums. I’ve been wondering how a tarp would handle hail. Do you think any of those small boulder sized hail stones hit your tarp? The JRB Weather Shield is pretty good for protecting the under quilt. It helps the under quilt keep you warm too, especially when windy.
