here she is... i'll be testing her out tonight in the yard ... there is some wind and maybe some rain if i'm lucky :D
for a 5oz tarp this is a BIG tarp.... it's crazy how light it is and how big it is... i still can't get over it i plan on using it 4 season i'm going to make CF grizz breaks for it for the winter .... but this tarp and the WBBB is my setup
and my bridge here and there :D
Pitch looks pretty tight, happy with hex over cat cut?
I ask cause I've been eyeing them off too :)
yeah you can play drums on it LOLQuote:

the Zpack tarp has a nice tight pitch i would say go for it
at $235 it's a steal for the size and weight.... i mean look it covers my WBBB really nice i'm using this bad boy as my winter tarp too LOL
So sick... so jealous... I hate you.
P.S. I'm leaving some cheddar on my front step tonight. Hopefully you will take the bait and I will swipe that Cuben Beauty out from under you! Muahahahahahaha
P.P.S. But no really it looks awesome!
Happy Hangin'

i think one good reason to go straight cut is cuben.. it does not stretch. with sil, you need cat cut.Quote:

Looks Great !!!
You will love the cuben.......
Wow... i could'nt even find a small siltarp when i was wtb... and then you go find a CF tarp in shorter time!.... Talk about envy!:sneaky:
But it sure looks good though!... Congrat's!;):D
Edit: Better watch out if you ever find nice cheese on the trail.... seems that more than on HF could be lurking behind a nearby tree(me including) ready to swipe your new toy:D The more i look at it the better it looks...
So jealous! Things a beaut. Love her and treat her good.
Do you think a rectangle would still have a taut pitch with the side pull outs and a single panel pull?
I miss her already...... :(
5oz! wow...
Mighty fine lookin' gear choice!
Don't worry, you've send it off to a good home, and you've got a equally nice tarp:)Quote:

Thexuprising... i thing it should like te-wa said cuben does not stretch as long as the cut is even it should be nice and tight :D
thanks everyone i'm in love with this tarp LOL
Raul she is in good hands.... :D
How tiny does that pack down to? softball size?
I heard rumors that G.L.P. can pack it down to golf ball size :scared:
Basically the size of a softball in the stuff sack supplied.

yeah it packs down small for it's size... and it can mold around whatever you pack next to it...Quote:

the test last night was very good no air gaps and it fit like a glove
also tested out my Photon freedom micro light and new Iphone harness
(pics coming as well) love the photon freedom... if you not going to do any night hiking and want a nice very small light this bad boy is all you will need
SHHHHHHHHH!!! i told you not to tell anyone :rolleyes:Quote:

this CF tarp will work for all 4 seasons for me ... i'm going to add some CF grizz breaks for the winter
I just made a CF beak a couple of weeks ago, out of 0.6 oz/sq yd cuben. The whole thing (including grosgrain loops and tieouts) came in under 2 oz.Quote:
