Camo Custom Tarp

**sclittlefield** · 09-15-2009, 20:45

This is the most recent tarp I've been able to put together. It was a custom build for a great guy I met at a local rope/tarp/tool shop. I went in looking for some guy line for tarps and in talking it turns out we have a lot of the same interests in getting out into the woods. He introduced me to Survival Topics (check it out if you have a chance) and even gave me a firesteel and striker. Great guy.

So, here's the tarp. It's a 9'x6'6" with 1.1oz coated ripstop nylon - in woodland camo. With stuff sack it weighs in at 9.4oz. It's big enough for hammocking (just barely), but this one is going to be used for the ground.

Your pics aren't showing up for me...maybe it's just me? Anyone else having that problem?

Sorry, had a bit of trouble with them on the initial post. There are more on my blog.

Looks good, I have been searching everywhere for some coated 1.1 camo, looks like it would make a sweet hammock tarp.

Nice Scott.

Now you just have to lose the bright pink guy lines! Just doesn't match with camo.

You don't think flaming pink is stealthy?

Really though, where I don't always use trails and campsites, I could see myself spending a day exploring and never find my stuff again...

I don't think the new owner will be using hot pink.

I knew I'd get razzed on point. No worries though, I personally stay above ground.

Oh, and thanks for all the positive remarks guys and girls.
