Supporting the cottage vendors

[Dhagan]

I have really enjoyed this forum and the support everyone gives the cottage vendors. I have also decided thats the route I want to take. However, I am taking chances on the brand new upstarts. One, because they are less expensive...two, everyone has to start somewhere...three, wth!

I got my down uq from keepcalmandhikeon.com and I am about to place an order for a silpoly tarp, with doors from https://www.facebook.com/mountainwilderness365?fref=nf. I have used my tq twice and love it. The price for it was much less than others and the price for the tarp, with doors, is only $85.

Sometimes you gotta take a chance on people. If they become rich and famous, then I can say "I was there in the beginning." If it all falls apart..., well...we wont talk about that just yet.

I'm with you the cottage guys are great and it is nice to try to help the new guys on the block just getting started.

Well I was inspired by this post to give a chance to the little guy. I have ordered a tarp from Mountain Wilderness as listed above on the Facebook link. He seemed to have a good grasp of tarp concepts and I was looking forward to trying a silpoly tarp on for size. Everyone cross your fingers for me and hope that everything works out and we have a new cottage vendor worthy of our admiration for great service and quality products!

I should get my tarp (with doors and tie outs) tomorrow. I also had him make me a set of whoopies. I'll let you know how it is. He sent me updates as it progress, with pictures. He got a little behind because of some lame excuse...camping with his family or something like that...lol. The cost was less than my hennessy hex that I currently use. What color did you get?

I went with the Khaki. We also did the the tarp with doors and added panel pulls. I am expecting the tarp early this week. The pics during construction of the tarp were really fun plus it gave you a little insight in the quality and things were looking great. Post some pics of yours when you get it up. I will do the same when I can. Thanks again for the post. I have enjoyed working with him and am looking into doing a quilt with him next.

Did either of you guys get your tarps from him? I saw your post and went to order from him but PayPal is having issues. Seems like he's on his game as far as I can tell. Fair prices, too.

I am expecting my tarp tomorrow or monday. i haven't heard from Dhagan. The prices are nice and his communication throughout the build has been second too none, i have received emails with pics almost daily during the build. Awesome experience!

I'm working with him as well. He really seems to enjoy the work and offers a fair price for what seems like a quality product. I wish he would set up a user friendly website.
