    Squidbilly superfly clone

    While inquiring about tarps, member Squidbilly offered to make me a superfly clone. His offer couldn't be beat, so I had him build it. 11' ridge, panel pulls, linelocs 3's on the main guyouts. I set it up with a Dutchware CRL with a wasp and soft shackle prusiks. Lawson glowire for the 4 main guys, and bungie cord with Tato door clips on the doors. I've rigged up an outside pole mod using my trekking poles. Not happy with the bungie connection there, so that'll need addressed.

    But the workmanship from Squidbilly is great. I've had a tarp from WL and a tarptent from Lightheart Gear, and his work is just as good as from those vendors.

    Squidbilly rocks!!!! He made my wife and I a tarp to cover two Meck stands. Simply beautiful! We may have to change his title to ShelterMan!
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    Squidbilly's best work, in my opinion, was the bright pink tarp accented in butterflies that one lucky little girl is the owner of. Maybe her dad will post a picture. That rig is super sweet!
