Ploycro sandwich! Oh the possibilities!
I kind of thought about it, but I really don't need a really light weight tarp in the winter, but do in the 3 seasons. I saw an episode of Dual Survival, where Cody built a shelter using plastic, and then built a fire outside to heat the inside. This may work for something like that......RR
After looking at the specs, for winter, my SF weighs almost the same as the triple, and I think my Tadpole is close to the weight of the double. Not really alot of savings......RRQuote:
The Solo super-ultralight tarp is 7' x 9' and weighs a mere 5.4 oz for the basic tarp, and just 12.3 oz with small poles, cordage and stakes.
The Double super-ultralight tarp is 10' x 9' and weighs only 12 oz for the basic tarp, and just 18.9 oz with small poles, cordage and stakes.
The Triple super-ultralight tarp is 14' x 9' and weighs only 18.6 oz for the basic tarp with end flaps, and just 26.5 oz with large poles, cordage and stakes.
Here's a video of one set up and the discussion with it: http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=fXiDoZanYTU
We need a really good test report from the field!
Link to the Whiteblaze thread I found a while back: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/show...me-Depot-Lowes. I assume this is a thicker product.
If you're into experimenting with DIY projects and want cheap material, it's perfect. The lightweight/cost ratio is hard to beat. Also like the idea of being transparent. Being completely cozy in heavy wind and/or rain with full visibility is pretty cool. Def wouldn't pay $70 when I can make my own in about an hour with less than $20.
Sorry, INVITE ONLY!:tongueup::tongueup:
