Sep 17, 2013 at 11:57 am #2025482If you make a cuben version, you can expand on Wm Chilton's idea and make it the (wait for it…)
Rubic CubenSince you consider it a mere tarp instead of a tent, you could call it (groan…)
Borah Mere (great for protecting hobbits).For a hint of Polynesia, maybe "Borah Bora[h]".
Since it weighs only 13.3 oz, perhaps it's the "Borah Less".
(I better stop there…that's probably enough PUNishment.)

Sep 17, 2013 at 1:09 pm #2025505I first saw this in the Emigrant Wilderness and a lot of companies call their gear after peaks, passes, or areas of land so why not the:
Emigrant Tarp/Shelter
or a few others that come to mind are:
Tempest
Janus, after the Roman god of change
Nyx or Nox after the god of the night
Dragoman, means guide
Et Hoc Genus Omne, means Et cetera because there are so many ways to set it up.
Torpid, feelings of laziness because your under such a great tarp
There were some other great one mentioned already too. I'm excited to see this made available to the public.
Thanks,
