    Nice pictures! I especially like the way the lines of the Ogee blend in with the trees.

    Thanks Pbear. I learnt me a few things this weekend.

    #1. Sand dunes make lousy anchor point for stakes. Had to incorporate a few logs for anchors, especially in windy zones atop the hills.

    #2. Flies bite hard. The flies were absolutely terrible in the woods near the dunes. Bug spray had little effect.

    #3. Stealthy tarps are hard to find. My tarp disappeared at 50 feet. LITERALLY! I knew it was there, but even I couldn't see it. It was kinda funny. And kinda "hey dummy, you gonna loose your rig, if you don't know exactly where you left it?" Might have to gps my locations.?

    #4. Hiking in breezy 85 degree weather was good, hiking below the hills was a sweat box.

    I'm sure 90% of everyone here knows this, but I don't. Does the digital camo pattern come in silnylon and/or 1.9oz ripstop? I thought I remember you mentioning that tarp being made out of a PU coated material?

    BTW, I like your new tarp design. It's simplistically clean. You obviously put a lot of thought and consideration into it. Very well done.
