Hi all… I'm new here, so I hope this isn't something that's previously been beat to death. I searched but didn't get any hits here in this forum.
The issue at hand is a tarp's UV blocking capability. What's the best fabric for that, or best tarp? I have very fair skin, being progenied from the land of Thor, so this is a bit crucial for me. :cool:
look for a tarp made of reflective material that can reflect the rays... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7V1QH04r74
Thanks for the link to that video, djmn. It looks to be exactly what I need. :thumbup:
That is some neat material. I wonder how much warmth you could retain in the cold with the reflective on the underside.
If I ever spend some serious money on a tarp I might have to do this, but it does look a bit heavier.
You can probably use the reflective material from here http://www.backwoodsdaydreamer.com/p...oated-fabrics/ and sew it onto the back of some silnyon to make one yourself
