Thanks for all the replies :) I am a bit nervous about the asym tarp because of the slack and how to adjust for that when I do the sil version though. It might have to do with the fact that it is a...

Hi all, I finally have had the time to post the projects I have finished (almost) so far. I started out by making amsteel whoopies and tree straps but then graduated to a gathered end hammock then...

does it make a difference to cat-cut these tarps? I am about to hem the edges of mine but I am not sure wither I should cat-cut the edges or not and if I should do the typical 1" per foot ratio....

I'm still figuring out what I want to do, but I'm thinking that for the hammock sock I am going to make a tube with one end tapered to a point and the other have a shock cord closure to open & close...

Thanks for the confirmation of what to do. I think that I'll make a weathershield and a hammock sock since I have the material and its nice to have options. Thanks for the tip on different...

Hi everyone, I just had a quick question. I just replaced the thick rope at the ends of my DN with whoopie slings but wasn't sure if I was attaching them to the hammock safely. I just took the...

Thanks for all of the responses :) I am leaning toward the GG tarp now so we'll see :P

How many stakes and what was the length and number of guylines you used for this setup? I've been thinking about getting the GG tarp because of this setup but I wanted to know how you went about it...

Has anyone done a comparison between the Kelty noah 12 and the GG tarp? and on that note to rigidpsycho: which of those two are better quality? Also any opinions on the other tarps?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some advice for tarps. I am looking for a cooking shelter and have run into several tarps but I don't know which way to go. I like the eno profly but I'm not sure if it...
