I don't know if this sort of post is allowed so moderators do your thing if need be and I apologize.
I was going to order the JRB 11x10 Cat tarp just now so I go to their site and I find it's now on sale for $89.95. That seems killer to me and a great way to start getting my gear underway for my foray back into camping...only this time in hammock-style! :)
Whooohooo. Thanks for the heads up! I need another tarp like I need a hole in my head, but thanks!
That's a pretty good deal.
Wow, excellent sale on those Pan and Smee. I'd take that deal if it weren't for my purchase last week. Not often you see such a good sale on great gear like that. Kwality with a capital "K". :D
yep, I hear you.Quote:

See, I sold a tarp to tang61 for his Philmont trek, and so there was this empty space in the gear pile..

This is a disease.. it surely is...:p
Dammit... another $100+ on the way to the Jacks... I should just direct deposit my paycheck to them.
LOL. I can resist. I have no choice (read: no $$$) at the moment. That's a relief, kindof.
Double Da**it.... more brown silnyl going out the door...;)Quote:

I got no problem with the Jacks, they're gret guys from all accounts. I hope to find out for myself at the MAHHA hang in the fall. But doggone it, I like Ed Speer entirely too much not to buy his gear when I need something and can afford it. I can't wait to use my SWT this weekend! Seems like it'll definitely be needed on Friday. :D
Thank god, I already paid for the 10x12 to be sewn by the preachers wife.
So I am broke now and can resist any temptation, like the JRB Bridge hammock being on sale, too!
Well, I'm sorry but I already have more than enough tarps. The reason I'm sorry, of course, is that I ordered one anyway. Coyote brown. Sigh. Now to figure out some way to hide this from my wife! Yeah, right!
got one too!!!!
I do not need another tarp.

<whew! It seems to have passed.>
I'm with you Iafte.
Psst! Hey NCPatrick....wanna see some pics of my purty new tarp. Moss green, blends into the background softly, all the coverage you might need.... :DQuote:

Oooooh Moss green... softly blending... coverage... purrrty...
Nope, I'm still okay. :D
Hey Griz!
Glad I could feed the addiction! Btw, the black tarp is great. Just what we needed. Been out for a while so sorry for the delay in responding.
Now, I just need to get my hands on one of these JRB's

I am a wife and this is how I do it. Leave it in the car for more than two days and then say "No, this isn't new. I've had it for a while";)Quote:

Have been using a SG 9x9 and also have a JRB 8x8 that I won at Mt. Rogers. Gonna take some getting used to all those lines but the coverage is great! The ultimate would be an actual size 9x9 with that great JRB sil.
I usually do the "have you seen my old brown tarp?" thing a few times, then pull it out from where I hid it and say, "Oh, there it is." I got clean away with a new ULA pack like that awhile back. But then she read my journal. Ouch!
Our anniversary was yesterday. She said "Happy anniversary." I said "You realize it was all just a joke, right?" She said, "Yep."
I'll be stringing my cat cut tarp up in the garage tomorrow to seam seal it.
I can't wait for a little decent weather here in the midwest so I can actually enjoy a nice weekend in the woods. I seem to be sinking up to my knees everywhere around here lately. And more rain on the way.........Yay....
Love the tarp though...
I did not get the seam sealer when I ordered my tarp...did not realize I needed it...but...that's hind sight...where can I get the right sealer?
I just use clear silicone caulk cut with denatured alcohol till smooth enough to apply a thin penetrating coat. About 60/40 sil/alc works for me. YMMV
HTH

or get mcnetts silnet..already ready to put on, no mixing:)
thats what i use to:cool: neoQuote:

I found my old air brush and and air compressor the other day. I am going to try using it to spray an extremely thinned down mixture of silicone the next time I need to seam seal something. I will of course test it before I try actually spraying a tarp, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. If it does work it would make seam sealing a very fast and easy task, 180 degrees from what it is now.
You people just cost me $90.00 :mad:
:D
Got my JRB today!!! It's so cool...I opened it up in the kitchen and wound up in my office!!! This thing is HUGE!!! I'll be getting me some caulk...I use denatured alcohol out in the shop on some of my calls...got some "Lexel" but it's not silicon...so...I'll do what yall say and get the proper stuff.
headchange4u, why do you hate your airbrush? I mean, you're going to kill it an d all... :)
I have a Thayer-Chandler and an old AB.
I think the airbrush will be okay. Although it's over a decade old, it was a pretty nice AB when I bought it. I have several needles and tips for it so if I screw one or two up it's no big deal. I will run straight mineral spirits through it to clean it.
I ordered one today as well.
You've all talked me into! **** you're a coersive bunch! I'll have to put the funds in the bank tomorrow so I can place an order for a pretty brown one. Only way they could get better is if they came in Olive Drab.
Good lord! The thing is HUGE! Would be awesome for a trip where you expect to spend some time in the rain. I'm working on sealing it now.
I just seam sealed mine. Wow is that thing huge! It will be a big upgrade over my stock HH anytime I expect anything but perfect weather. The set of JRB tensioners works great too, but I clearly need a lot of practice setting up tarps!
I just finally got on the ball after a couple of days of forgetting to stop at the bank and put the funds in. It's now on order can't wait to see my new gear for this year.
Plus shipping! :D :rolleyes:Quote:

Actually your brown comes closer. That moss green that I see in your pics is way to bright for me reminds me of kelly green. Very nice tarps none the less! Can't wait to get mine!
Guessing you weren't a pilot in the Army then, Pan? :DQuote:
