View Full Version : Custom Tadpole
So, anybody that has hiked/hanged with me knows how much I like ORANGE! I've got an orange hammock, orange jacket, orange buff, orange clothing. I do like orange! They also know how much I love my Tadpole. As far as I'm concerned, the tadpole is one of the best tarps on the market. If I could only... :)
With the help of Marty and the guys at WL we were able to make it happen. It truly is awesome to have a vendor that will work with us so willingly. I really appreciate you guys. THANKS! You made my day!

Purty!! Congrats!!
There have been several people who have posted pictures and threads about custom made equipment. It is pretty neat how special attention to customers brings back old customers and attracts new ones. It is nice being involved with a close nit community like this.
Thumbs up to Marty and the guys at WL and all of the other cool venders.

You think you will be able to see it? :)
You have been talking about a orange tarp for a while so I am glad you finally have one. It is one of the coolest Tadpoles I have seen....

Pretty sweet! The glow should keep you warm this winter!
When I scrape together the funds, I plan on calling Marty to arrange a tour of the WL World HQ, and to order my tarp since I live pretty darn close by. Talk about a kid in the candy store!
Looks good Caveman!:thumbup:

Oh my! Look at that glow underneath. I'll be hiking along and say to myself, "hey, look at that bright cluster of flame azalea!... wait a minute its fall, ah, must be Caveman!"

That is one cool TP!

It turned out great. I got this tarp for stealth camping in illegal areas. :)
It is super bright. The pic and video does not do it justice.
Marty really is great to deal with. If you are thinking about a new tarp....get a tadpole. This is my 3rd and I love 'em all :) I know I can only hang under 1 at a time, but I like to have options.

He has to match his shoes with his tarp...

That should keep the bears away! Lol and I like the idea of having a candle lit under it at night, seems like it would be a cool effect!

Now if they came out with the purple or pink tarp my wife would be all over it. Very nice Caveman.

Seems to me like if you find the fabric, and line it up they will make it in whatever color you can find... But I may be wrong, my wife says it has happened once before...

Oh I believe your wife is right. Good for me that my wife does not log on here too much and check out these treads. :)
wow i really like the looks of that tarp! that would be great for when i go backpack in the hunting season.
I usually tie blaze orange bandannas to the ends of my tarp to make me more visible, but you wouldnt miss that tarp!
Well...I got to test it out with a little rain last night. I stayed nice and dry. Good Times!
