    CF TARPS ON THE SCALE...

    Here are two of my cf tarps on the scale. The lighter of the two is the HG CF standard w/o doors, fully rigged with 30 foot continuous ridgeline, 6 foot line on all tieouts and 1/8 inch stretch cord for the pullout lines (you could do without this and save some weight). The heavier of the two is the HG Winter Palace, fully rigged and with cf snakeskins.

    Thats awesome!! Send one my way and I'll check your weight.
    I would rather be in the woods... my dog would rather be in the pool. My wife thinks we are both nuts.

    Wow, CF would cut my tarp weight exactly in HALF! But I just can't do it!

    HG Standard without doors? They don't make such a tarp. Wouldn't that be a Hex tarp?

    I know what the website says - there is no such thing as an HG Standard without doors.

    Yeah, using the standard cf without doors and a dutch hexon 1.6 with whoopie suspension and kevlar straps, I've cut my hammock, suspension and tarp system down to just under 23 ounces. That's hard to beat.
