    Size Matters(n)

    I've been playing around with a pair of bipods with an Amsteel ridgeline between them for treeless hangs. I made the rl long enough for my 12x12 Guide gear tarp, thinking that would handle most everything.

    Surprise! My BWDD WD2, with an advertised rl length of 11', was too long.

    I just measured the GG tarp, and it's actually ~10'6"...I understand the difference between nominal sizes and finished sizes, but 18"????

    Caveat emptor.....

    Okay, I feel a little silly. Just did some checking.

    The GG tarp is not advertised as cat cut, but it is...almost 12' on the hem.

    Hawk, are those CampMor tarps of yours cat cut, too?

    Nope ... but that's not a problem to me ... I like the rectangular cut better actually. Like as much fabric covering my old butt in a rain storm as I can get!
