    The only, maybe slight drawback to the see-thru aspect on the material, is other hikers watching you as you change.
    I haven't had a problem. It's more like a blurred screen than anything.

    Great job on the video and keep throwing Bumble in your vids. The kid makes an awesome water monkey side kick.

    Ha glad you liked it. Had that intro in my head for 3 months. It was eating away at me forever! Music was a bit hard to find but I snagged it on a lucky google search.

    I had to brush up on my jedi training to get the candles and lights to move. Have you ever been heckled by a 2 foot green monchichi?? It's degrading

    The goal is to get the bumble on the trail in a couple of years. We shall see how that progresses.

    Your best video yet! Really liked the guy line suggestions. HammockGear rocks! The tarps can really take a beating by high winds for hours without wear or tear. It looks like the extra wait time was well worth the R&D time Storm Crow put into it.
    Looking forward to your new creations in video content.
    Be well

    Great video WM very enjoyable to watch.
    I believe you said, in the video, the center line has a slight cat cut to help with a tighter pitch.
    This cut / bow in the center would not be a plus for those wanting to run the CRL under the tarp to help support the
    tarp in heavy snow.

    I will be interested to see if you stick with the prussic knots on the Zing-it RL during high winds and or heavy snows.

    Looking forward to seeing this tarp in action this winter.
    Thanks again for a great review video and love the shock cord with mitten clips on the doors.

    Yes I bet the cat cut would be a problem if many put the ridgeline underneath.

    I've dealt with high winds with my OES MacCat Deluxe Cuben April 2011 and the prussiks held fine. Being that the cord is amsteel it holds and locks down much better. However, I noticed you have to re-tighten the continuous ridgeline after about 15 min due to some minor stretching. Yes I said it believe it or not you really do. But after the re-tightening you are ready to rock.

    If I'm lucky I'll get a good snow storm hitting NY mid-late December and I'll do a backyard review on heavy snow with this tarp.

    Nice video, Raul! I would have posted sooner but the drool keeps shorting out my keyboard...I'm envious! It seems like a great winter-configured tarp presented in an entertaining & informative video. Thanks!

    Cuben was priginally developed as a light strong sailing material for high (as in Americas Cup!) sailing vessels that had no need to skimp on $$'s. I do not believe that UV or re folding should be iuch of a problem. Call the C folks they can Tell you. I have had no problems with my DIY Cuben tarp and pacs, sacs. etc gnome
