    About to Make My First DIY Tarp, Ideas welcome!!!

    Planning to mostly follow the Fronkey "How to make a Hammock Tarp " video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E7A...D4C5fDLZ28HbSA

    I have 1.1 SILNYLON from RSBTR, 2.2mm zing-it RL, D rings, 4 x 6ft reflective tie out cords, tent spikes, SILNET and tie out grograin reinforcements.

    Any other cool thing I should do?

    I have seen the small reinforcement panels where you can store your tie out cords and may try it.

    Will also make a stuff double end stuff sack and snakeskins.

    Thx
    Kevin

    I love lineloc 3s, however I like my tie outs to just be grosgrain and then have the Linelocs on a loop, and larksheaded to the tie outs so they can easily be replaced or removed if I want to try something else.

    Sounds like you've got everything else sorted. Snakeskins are superb!

    Is there a write up on how to do the reinforcement pockets? I can't quite wrap my head around how it works.

    Not sure, it would be the same as reinforcement patches though. Just roll them into the hem.

    Just seams like it wouldn't make a good reinforcement patch if it wasn't sewn across.
