No. Just folded it in half to get my center tie outs, then in quarters to find the ones between the ends and center

Looks good. Where did you get that much multicam for $70 bucks? ripstopbytheroll.com has it for 17.50/yd. 7 yards is $122.

I'm pretty sure you've found them on eBay already - http://www.ebay.com/itm/MULTICAM-EPS...item339a8c74aa

Harty - SirMarkos did a DIY Sil job to the fabric. He didn't purchase it with the silicone on it already (hence the difference in price)

SirMarkos I appreciate your efforts... I am on the fence about siliconing up some of my favorite camo. It isn't available at all otherwise but the fabric is heavy to begin with.. 2.2oz or so. Just can't decide. I made up everything else (Hammock, TQ and UQ) in the Flecktarn... I would have to wait till spring since I wouldn't be able to airdry it otherwise. Not sure if I want to silicone it up at 20-10F...

Yea I did some googling and found it. I'm new to the DIY and hammock forum world. Still trying to figure it all out!

The material is heavier duty stuff that's for sure but if you'd prefer your tarp be a little sturdier, my entire tarp with guy outs, suspension and stuff sack comes in at just under 2lbs.

Ultralight? Not even. I have a DIY silArgon tarp I did with the same dimensions and it clocks in at only 16oz. But, for what it is, a mil spec fabric made to be extremely durable and tough, it really shines!

Yah, I was thinking it would be for car camping.. base camp stuff.
Did you paint / roll the sil on or what was your technique?

I have other sil tarps but this would .. well you understand.

My wife doesn't.. she thinks bright is best.. like pink
