Tarp wars; Attack of the Monk Clones

[Teepee]

After seeing Bare Thrills Silnylon Monk tarp clone thread,http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119147&highlight=monk+tarp

I wanted one for a long distance walk later in the year, so got busy making one .

This one is a little shorter than the one above at 2.8m.



225g with the stuff sack


Monk mode





Dayglo yellow Polyester webbing tie-outs with a reflective band for easier pitching in the dark.
1.1 oz Silnylon ripstop Nylon(woven from greased Eels)
Gutterman Mara thread, all double stitched.
200gsm coated Oxford for the tie-out reinforcements.


Thanks for looking.

Nice work Pete

What's the walk you're planning?

 

[Teepee]

Thanks Rich mate

Either this one will ride of the my other one made from PU. Its the same weight but packs smaller.

That's nowt to complain of weight wise and I know we like the OD but it's dull to wake up under, it's never really the real colour of the light, I think that grey's a good change, tbh.
Hope you've made a matching sized no see um for inside though; especially if you're going to do that walk :yikes:

I'm fully expecting hideously suicidal quantities of midges, it can only get better than that.

Yep, a nice bit of midge netting from Pro-fabrics is on the project table. I'm actually hoping to monster through it with head nets, Wilmas and my beloved Autan but that's about as likely as finding a tree to tie my hammock to in Fisherfield forest.

I've just bought the SMD Serenity net in the classifieds, not sure it'll work in the Trailstar but should work a treat in the DuoMid. That along with Wilmas, Avon SSS and a Beaton jacket I should be good to go, maybe some thin running/liner gloves too.

I've got this one too, but it's going to need some work on the net ..
