    DIY Catenary-Cut Hex tarp

    Here is my first DIY hex tarp with 3" Catenary-cut sides. I had a lot of fun making this tarp. That is until my thread injector decided to take a giant poo. After much cursing, I realized that a belt broke, and replaced it. I will eventually add side pull-outs.

    I would like to thank Fronkey, with out his How to make a Hammock Tarp video. I would had a hard time figuring out how to do the Cat-Cut.

    70d Coated Ripstop (Carbon Black)
    Gross Grain (1")
    D-Ring: Beastee Dee (1")
    PMI 3mm Utility Cord for ridge line and tie-outs (50' Black)
    Gear Aid Silnet Silicone Seam Sealer (1.5oz)
    Tarp Making Instruction by DIY with Fronkey.

    Good stuff. There is something satisfying about making your own gear.
