Well I've been putting myself through a MYOG sweatshop while I've had this week off before summer school starts on monday. First the Ion mods, the tarptent floor, and now the 5yds to SUL tarp. I'll cut out the fabric tonight for the Bivy… I'll post the exact weight after seam sealing, presealing and pregrossgrain was between 6.4 and 6.5oz. The stuff sack is 0.15oz.
here's the tarp pictures.

Jun 16, 2009 at 5:14 pm #1508641Having just done my own first tarp, I'm curious how you reinforced the tieout points on the spinntex prior to adding the grosgrain? Working on revisiting mine.
Overall looks great. Very nice stuff.
Eric.

I've been swamped with homework for General Chemistry and Evolutionary/Ecology Biology and the materials have just been building up over the last couple months… Now I have till Thursday night to get this and the bivy done, but if the weather cooperates I might just get a painters drop cloth, and wait on finishing the bivy, since I kind of feel lazy and don't feel like doing that many feet of zipper at the moment.
