    So... I made an UQP from 3yds of calendered 1.1Ripstop from RSBTR. It ended up at 169g total, and at that weight and tiny pack volume I think I'll just bring it on every trip.

    My experience is that length is more important than width. There's probably a dirty joke in there somewhere. Why not make a wide 12 footer?

    Ok, you're confusing me :laugh:

    I have a rain poncho that's more or less the appropriate length. I think I'll experiment with that a little before I decide to make a proper UQP.

  12. Small(ish) tarp and UQ-protector vs bigger tarp?

    Hello everyone.

    At the moment I have two tarps, one 11' Xenon wide asymmetrical DIY and a RSBTR 12' winter DIY. The asym is 370g and the winter is 580g. Both tarps provide more than enough...

    Isn't the price for 25ft amsteel from Dutch 5.5usd? That's around 46SEK for 7,6m, which is around 6SEK/m. Even with shipping and customs I think that's probably a better deal.

    Just one more question: Are the end reinforcement patches on the ridgeline needed when doing the grosgrain method? I'm guessing yes, but I'd like to hear your opinion.
