"Sweet Home Ala-borah. Sing it with me….."

NO, make it stop, please make it stop! (i live in VA and hear that song way too much)

And yeah, old Neil had a point (just saying..)

Just thought of this one as well.

The Borah Darwin for its ability to adapt and evolve

This made me instantly think of metamorphosis, which I see has been documented by others. It also made me think of surrealism, which led me to ponder of Salvidor Dali. And…. well fractal geometry! Can't make a tarp without geometry!

For the above reasons I like:

Mandala
Dali
Surreal
Fractal
Geo Duo
Geo-lite
Morph-lite
Omni-Morph Duo
Cocoon
Traverse
Shadow
Cyborg
Illusion
Mirage
Drifter
Blizzard
Snowcap
Haze
Vendetta
Rebuke
Monsoon
Nightshade
Rift
Cloak
Nightcloak

I used to play a card game called "Magic the Gathering" and there was a particular card that let the controller copy another card of an opposing players possession. This tarp also can mimmick other shelters/tarps with its different configurations. This card was called "Vesuvan Doppleganger."

Hence this name:

The Doppleganger (which literally means "living double")

I'm a nerd… I know. :)

I think Dale nailed it with "Borahgami".

With all those lean-to configurations, you could just go with the "Lean".

Metamorph
Mesomorph
Polymorph
Transmuter
Shifter
Druid
Chameleon
Changling
Rakshasa (For the Buddhist mythology buffs)
Mist
Vapor
Delta
Omega
Alpha

Again, with or without the UL variety in the name.

I think I'm done going through my mental list because i now have a serious migraine…haha
I sincerely hope you guys at Borah Gear find a fitting name-we at BPL appreciate the innovation.

-The Borah Snorah-

'For a good nights rest.'

or -The Borah Snorah Somorah-

'When you feel like hitting the snooze button'

or just -The Borah Somorah-

Because there are so many possible pitches.

Others:

-The Pro-tean- (adj. 1. Readily taking on varied shapes, forms, or meanings. 2. Exhibiting considerable variety or diversity)

-The D-Lite- (Delta Lite)

"Barnacle", for it's ability to contort and cling to all sorts of surfaces.

The Borah Arbor

or Ar-borah

I just made myself giggle.

… or the Harbor or Harborage.

Hey Jack,
Why did you put the door flaps on opposite sides of the tarp ridge line?
If they were on the same side it could be pitched as a lean to with two wings to close the sides.
That would offer great protection from the elements and be great in front of a fire.
If bad weather brewed, the front could then be simply lowered.
As it is, it would have to be completely re-pitched.

Otherwise, it almost reminds me of a mini-version of the Calvin Rutstrum convertible A tent.

it's hard to remember what's already been suggested but how about…

Borah Magic
Shakespeare (you know, "to be or not to be", oh how will we set it up today)
The Hamlet (No not Shakespeare's but the small village)
