First hang with a new tarp.

That is simply a gorgeous tarp. Thanks for sharing!

A couple more pix and details.

Porch mode.


Cuben reinforcements with coed pockets..


Pole mod.


Packing size.

Great looking tarp! Do you know how the argon compares to Silnylon as far as durability? Torn between the 2 fabrics on which to use!!

[genixia]

Thanks! No real idea yet, but my experience with the non-sil Argon CS90 underquilt gives me a lot of confidence. I'm obviously going to avoid pitching against rose bushes though.

I realised that I committed a cardinal sin and never posted any weights.

Currently 22oz, including 5 Al gutter nails, suspension, 4 6' tieouts, polemod and speedsack. I have about 40ft of dynaglide on the suspension, I really should get around to trimming that down. My polemod isn't final so that weight could change. I'm going to try to not use the gutter nails for a while and see if I can make the transition to being stakeless. I'd like to use lighter tieouts, but reflective cord is non-negotiable.

Looks good. I'd love to hang under a tarp that big that packs down that small! Great job!

Excellent job, that's a very nice tarp!
For weight comparison: that same tarp in silnylon minus the stakes, dynaglide suspension and polemod weighs about 23ozs.: so the silargon does make a difference in the weight.

Thanks. It packs so so much smaller than my previous tarp, Kelty Noahs Tarp 12, and weighs a lot less too. Big tarp is a requirement for me - I hang 4 seasons and enjoy privacy.

That information is awesome, I was wondering exactly that. Thanks!

Great looking tarp! I'm hoping in the future that silargon will come in other camo flavors! Multicam or ATACS would be my picks!
