    Squidbilly hex tarp pitched for the first time in Sweden

    Finally a had the time to give my new tarp made by Squidbilly a proper test pitching.

    It's an 11 foot brown silargon hex tarp. D-rings on the ridgeline tie-outs and triangles on the corners and side panel pull-outs.
    It's seam-sealed and came with a matching
    double ended stuff sack / bishop bag.

    I've named it Admiral Ackbar, because I'm a nerd with a soft spot for far fetched references. Can you spot the two

    I'm very happy with how easy it was to pitch taut and nice. I'm far from an expert on seams and tarps but in my humble opinion the overall quality is excellent.

    Thanks to Squidbilly and let's not forget 2ply for the referral, I have many months of happy hanging ahead of me this year.

    Great looking tarp. When I sent you the PM about Squidbilly's great tarp making skills it didn't dawn on me until later that you were in Sweden! I'm glad everything work out well for you.
    Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!
