FWIW I see a LOT of their stuff come up on Amazon's lightening deals.
Good to know, thanks!

Got one on order.
Too good of a price to pass up.
I have full Yukon set ups for my kids. I switched out the heavy connections for continuous loops and whoopie slings. I kept the guy lines and pegs as they are fine for how often the kids get out. We just did a cub scouts camp out in 30s temps over night. Kids used under quilts, cheap 30* synthetic bags and they were toasty all night. Kids love tossing the fabric over themselves like a burrito.
I got my tarp in the mail today. Naturally the first thing I did was pitch it in the yard.

Those reflective guy lines sure light up in the camera flash!
I did notice a couple of blemishes in the tarp. They look like some blobbing of the sealant coating. Minor visual impact. I don't know if it will effect the waterproof-ness in the area. Either way, considering the price, it's not worth complaining about.
It also came with 4 stakes, instead of 2.
Not sure I like the stock stuff sack. It's kinda long and skinny. It seems I have to fold and roll it just so, in order to get it to fit right.
Here it is next to my hammock sack.

I've been looking for something to make with the material from my RBTR DIY box. A new stuff sack for this tarp may be just the ticket.
A short, wide sack would be more conducive to to my preferred cramming method. As Shug says, "I'm a crammer"
I do look forward to taking it out for a real hang!
Its good to hear that the reflective guy lines are actually reflective now. The ones I got with mine a couple of years ago did not reflect at all.
I made a new stuff sack as I found the factory one too hard to get the tarp back into. I did cut the logo off the factory sack and sewed it onto the new stuff sack so it acts a handle to grab the sack by.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I missed this woot,...... how much was the tarp going for?
$20+$5 shipping. The grey ones go faster than the black ones. They go on sale at woot.com several times per year so the next sale should be soon.
They are dirt cheap, lightweight, minimal coverage tarps that work great in fair weather or light rain. Mostly use mine on dayhikes for quick shade. I would not want one as my only tarp in a storm. But then my 'mocks range from 10-1/2'x5' to 11-1/2'x6-1/2' and my 6'2" frame is laying on a 45° angle to my suspension. So I need a larger tarp in a storm.
