    Got my tarp sleeves from MountainGoat today

    As the title says, I got my tarp sleeves from MountainGoat today. They fit beautifully, the pockets are a super nice touch, and the quality is superb. And the service... I emailed Katharina Saturday with a question, got a response, and officially placed my order. Sunday (EASTER, keep in mind), I got an email saying she just finished them and asking for my address. O_O Amazing.

    I'd been using velcro cable ties to roll the tarp up, but I like these skins far better; way easier to get on and off (especially off - they come off in like... 5 seconds).

    Here're some pictures of it in action.
    Note: This section cross-posted from my thread on the Lazy Slug Tube

    We'll start with everything packed away: a Warbonnet Superfly, Warbonnet Blackbird 1.1DL, Warbonnet 20° Yeti, and Warbonnet 20° Mamba. Obviously, the Superfly is in the skins above the tube, which has far more than enough room for the hammock and quilts.



    One half of each pulled back:

    I love my MG tarp sleeves! I love the idea of the tube for long distance hiking. How does your tube compress into your pack compared to individual items?

    Much better, I think. I'm a firm believer in skipping stuff sacks all-together with soft items like tarps and quilts and such. I feel they occupy space more efficiently when they're free to expand to fill extra spaces.
