Just received my SLD 12' Trail Haven Tarp. Thank you SLD!
Has anyone mentioned that Jared does awesome work?
Royal Blue and Orange to match my Trail Lair Hammock.
Added an internal pole mod, to see how I like it. I have external pole mods on other tarps, and was curious to compare.
Super lightweight and packable.
Standard Setup.
Details. Always Great.
Poles.
Modded Setup.
As usual, craftsmanship is top notch. Jared makes sure everything is done right and goes out of his way to make each item unique. Just check out the pole bag! All colors and materials matched or complimentary. Tarp came seam sealed. There are pole pockets at the tie outs, and ribbon ties to locate the poles at the ridgeline.
I'll have to wait until I get this out for an overnight to evaluate the internal pole mod. I think it will be fine for providing extra space and shade. The immediate difference I notice from the external mod is the poles are located closer to the ends. This setup is probably the lightest with the poles as short as possible, yet still functional. I'm just curious how well it will handle rain. If I had to do again, I might go for longer poles, and move the ribbon ties about a foot closer to middle on each side, but I predict the current setup will be fine.
Very happy with my Trail Haven. Will update next week when I take it for an overnight.
