Tarps looks interesting, I guess you see the moon and stars pretty good

Not a bad first trip out.

[QUOTE=jabberwalker;1150630]here you go, one of a few pictures i took on the trip

How did your tarp hold up? Did you have any winds or sharp objects to contend with? Did you use a template or specific website to guide you?

Greetings from Alaska

yes I like the tarp too.... been thinking of doing that as well.

Oh yea the tarp is great GREAT! i had a small tear from a falling branch, but it didn't carry on, just real small puncture. It cost about 10$ total and i really like it.

I have spent maybe 5-8 nights under it and it weighs nothing. (almost)
Just google Polycryo Or Polycro. it is window film material (home depot 7.98), gorilla glue brand duct tape, and a few garden hose washers. pitched diagonal for the hammock.

Thanks for the Welcome!

Yes i have been lurking, I hoped to be able to view pictures and be a real member eventually but it still shows my post count is zero and i cant view attachments. oh well still plenty to see as a "Guest"
