Here, no lack of sil-nylon shelters. First there was a homemade duomid. Followed by a star trail. A shelter that looks beautiful in form, fast straight and has a lot of set-up options, adapted to the circumstances. Yet again came over me last the urge to just give it a try. Another donaghys type of A star trail, I found it a bit big for one person and has his formless spaces that can not be used and provide extra weight. I gave in to create a more classic tarp. A nice article by Joey on Tarpen. I had been once tarp home. Soon realized that I was not made for one of solotarp eg mountain laurel donaghys designs Much too small. Especially in storm position than many I've seen too little height and I'm not the smallest species (192 cm), the length usually a problem confined to lie. You must also have additional mental strength to, say "wild weather" you feel good. I also own a large dose of laziness and do not like to once the sail up, still starting to build with all sorts of material from the area to protect them from the elements. Me extra Or in the middle of the night should orient because the wind direction has changed. Tarp otherwise A duo tarp, it falls or something to barter. Definitely the foot does not all have to be a soloist broadly. See for example donaghys the discussion of the spin twinn on Hiking in Finland to get a performance. The beauty of DIY is that you can make. Tailor a tarp A few years ago I had already agreed with some wire and later a spin off from sailing shelter donaghys but it felt like "too tight" to. He closes with velcro on both the foot and headboard. Velcro, I would like to avoid if possible. But the idea of a flexible approach, depending on the weather appealed to me. Something that you encountered in the modular system of hyper lite mountain gear because I still that little donaghys would have additional protection would be a tarp where you can close without donaghys sacrificing such as is the case with the patrol. In flexibility the foot At the head you will soon wetness This is not so with the feet. Even I had planned to use as the stratiform I or using a loose piece that I could confirm if desired. At the foot end of the system The latter is already too cumbersome and requires additional hardware, and therefore weight.
ultimately seemed a zipper donaghys yet most practical. After a sample of plastic film to the dimensions, I imagine the construction could begin. Factored is that there must be sufficient room to tuck hang inside a tent on (an option that is probably never going to come there anyway) Bought me at Tru Hiker 9-yard shield sil nylon coyote brown. Why brown? Especially the hope that something will be better than "sun yellow."

Headboard The headboard would be, if it ever comes, it can be disassembled. When I used the trail star line locomotives. These have the disadvantage that you do minimum. 3mm rope to use to lose tension. The line locomotives donaghys now I left behind donaghys and would like to make mini line-loc's clamcleat donaghys fluorescent polyester and Dyneema rope. Use this time next ordinary knotting techniques I used to build the same technique as the star trail. The reinforcements in the pegging points I would lamination back with silicone. The seams of my star trail were a combination of laminating and sewing. donaghys Use undiluted silicone on the seams makes the tarp heavier than necessary, donaghys because the bonding but should only serve to connect them before have I used diluted silicone. Sewing (temporarily) the different buildings together A mixture of silicone and white spirit. Downside was that I had to wait before the glue was dry and I could start sewing longer. There is a flat bar with some weight on the seam should be placed to have while drying I am despite the time-consuming donaghys delighted by this way of working because I pretty flat seams intimate contact get where the voltage on the sil-nylon fabric is evenly distributed over the two stitching. You must have a working area of three meters. The tarp should be finished, loose wire ends cut and spliced poem. A storage bag is also missing. Currently donaghys tarp weighs 360 grams (without lines and line-loc's) length tarp (both on the ground and in the ridge): 293 cm storm position and a closed-back is walking on foot set at 73 cm height width to the ground : 112 cm (tarpbreedte is about 184 cm) at the head end of the cane 125cm i
