What a pleasant surprise to find my Backwoods Daydreamer Winter Dream tarp in the mailbox today. And like a kid on Christmas day, I just had to open it up and give it a quick pitch. The quality of seams and workmanship is excellent! All tie out points are well reinforced. I had additional side tie outs installed and they are well reinforced as well. I really like how Scott used a piece of shock cord with snap hooks on the ends to hold the end wings up and out of the way when not in use. Nice touch! There are also some snap hooks included to fasten the end wings together but they are not shown in my pictures. I installed (4) of Opie's new guy lines with the new silicone elastic and at 15 degrees, it was working fine. Those guy lines make for a real quick stake out. Weight with Opie's guy lines in the stuff sack (no ridgeline) is 1# 8oz. Overall I am extremely pleased with both the BWD and Opie's guy lines. This will be a great tarp for winter months and foul weather. Can't wait to try it on the hang I'm doing Feb 7 -10.
