Just got back from a quick single day/night hang with a few ohio friends. It was also my HG 4 season cuben tarps first voyage. The tarp worked amazing and I'm very happy with it. I did have some issues setting up with my standard system that will have to be worked out when I get my new line for it, but that was my fault, nothing to do with the tarp. I was very happy to see that I can set it up with the doors pitch closed with as little as 4 stakes. Example, door line goes to opposite side side tie out stake.
The main reason I'm posting this is due to the conditions my tarp went through, and not only mine, 3 out of the 4 of us were using the HG 4 season cuben. The winds were horrific most the day and night. The forecast reported 25-35mph winds with 50mph gust! Talk about a scary hang, haha. I'm happy to say all 3 of our HG tarps held up great through it all with out any issues. Bannerstone and I were both using tensioners, though I didn't on my doors or panel pull outs. Lukesteg didn't use tensioners and his tarp held up great.
I'm not saying you should be in those conditions without tensioners, haha, just saying it worked fine. The tensioners are worth their weight to protect you investment.
Thanks Adam, Jenn, and the HG crew! You're awesome!
