    My First Tarp

    After making a couple hammocks i decided i needed a tarp to cover. Thanks to Corncob for passing a good deal along on some fabric i made 2 tarps and a HH style hammock. The first one is a cat cut tarp 132"x120" the other one is a Asym tarp 132"x105" plans from DIY Gear Supply. All i can say is they turned out great and will keep me dry. I had them out in the rain yesterday. I will have to get a pic of the a Asym in a day or so.

    I like it! Wild patterns might just be the next trend in hammock camping.

    Maybe take a page from the Dirty Girl gater fabric catalog.

    Did you use your own plans or did you get plans from somewhere? Looks good!
