Got my shipping notification this morning too. Waiting on the inevitable shipping refund

He's got more up, but at $6.45/yd. Still a good price.

Dang. I just bought the last 4 yards in another batch he had marked down to $6.75. The last batch I ordered on the 8th, was waiting at the gate when I got home on the 11th. I bought 4 yads today and got a shipping notice an hour later.

Thanks Guys.
I got some to play with finally.

Going to work on next summers gear sometime this winter.

We bought some more the other day. Still the best deal on the internet!

Okay. So now that I bought 10 yards . . . what are the best uses for it? I'd love to make a copy of my Mambajamba tarp for stealth/stealthier camping, but as I already have three silnylon tarps, it seems a bit silly, though I like SirMarkos's homemade silnylon Multicam tarp. Maybe just a fair weather tarp for daytime concealment of the camp? Seems like that would just be added weight.

I already have a Multicam underquilt that is as light as I could probably ever make myself. And I'm pretty happy with my WBBB.

You could always sell your other tarps. Or make your multicam tarp the go-to bug out tarp

I use mine all the time. I think with the material being mil-spec, it's a fantastic compromise between lightweight AND durable!

Epsilon makes an excellent outer shell for a quilt, especially a UQ because of its wind and water resistance. It also makes a pretty good UQP if you just want to cover a down quilt you already have.

I bought mine to make a winter tarp al la sir Markos. I still think the Nanosphere coating is not up to the kinds of summer rains we get down here, but it should do well for winter weather.

Ain't even cut it yet.

I'm sketching out a design with a cat cut in the middle but rectangular end so that they can be folded over for doors. Its gotta be 12' long as the hammock has a 10 foot ridgeline. Doing some cipherin'---guzintas and such like that.
