tarps

Hello, I have been thinking about Dyneema for hammocks, problem is that I havn't used it much before and would like some other opinions aswell.

Whats the best way to use a mozzie net with a bivvy bag or A-frame pitched tarp. I've never even seen mosquito netting so I don't know how it is supposed to attach.

Hi folks, Quite a while ago I did a tutorial on how to set up and take down a tarp and hammock, originally at the request of Ronnie Sunshines. The sequence ended up being rather more in depth than they anticipated. In a couple of recent threads I used some of the images from the sequence to...

Hello, I have a small 1-2 inch scag on a polycoton tarp, it is not holed but looks a lot thinner than the rest of the material due to a thread draging. What repair can you suggest? Patch or use some sort of sealant? Thanks

Im after a new tarp, 2 actually. I have both the aussie tarps (camo and the heavier green versions) and i used to have a British Army basha (my Dad now uses that as an awning on the Defender). What other choices are out there and how do they compare to the ones above in terms of build quality...

Hi, I think this has been asked on here many times before but using search doesnt seem to bring up answers I am looking for. I need something of a shelter. So when I am out in the woods and it starts hammering it down with rain I can have something a bit better than tree cover. I would be...

Quick question to garner some advice. Which is a better tarp to get, a Fox Basha, or a WebTex. I know they are different sizes and i'm leaning towards the Fox, as it is bigger. But I am wondering about fixing points and which one is more versatile? gratefully accept any opinions

Hi I have a couple of tarps i bought off ebay some time ago, quite heavy, but highly waterproof. Anyway they are too short really for my DD hammock and want to make a new tarp or 2. And yes I will be making it myself before anyone asks. Dont want to get in trouble. No I wont be posting photos...

Hi folks, thought I'd share this with you. It's really nothing fancy, but a 5 metre square builders tarp from Bradshaws and the two halves of my canoe pole with spikes fitted to locate through eyelets. Some bungy cord made into peg loops to take the shock from wind buffeting and some cord...

Hi, I've just bought one of the hammocks from the group buy and I've also got a Hennessy fly (the odd shaped one). Can anyone tell me how you're supposed to setup this type of fly? Cheers Richard

Herro all! This summer I will be going on a week long trip, and was thinking about maybe using a hammock on the trip, but am not sure if it will be right for me. I will be going on a 2 day trip, in the same area, just to get everything sorted out and I will be able to see if there will be...
