mods to GG 12x12 tarps

[HamMike]

The only "mod" I did was adding tie-outs at the ridge...



... since it doesn't have them if you want to hang your tarp as a square instead of diamond-shaped.



I am thinking of grabbing another one and cutting it down smaller for summer use, but the stock tarp isn't heavy at all.

Nice job! Did you sew that by hand?

Hehe, um... actually I got my mom to help. We started on opposite ends, by the time I had one side of the sticky-nylon that I used sewn into place, she was finished with the nylon and the loop, so I had her finish my end too.

I'm doing the same thing to the Chinook 12' x 9'6" tarp this weekend. I'm going to do either separate reviews or a "GG vs Chinook: budget tarp shootout" type review for CampTalk.net. It should be up in a few weeks.

Here's the review for the Guide Gear tarp if anyone was waiting...

i added center tie outs to the tarp, im really happy with it, they really open the tarp up, unfortionatly theres a place in my backyard to set up my hammock, and a place in the front to set up the tarp, but nowhere to set up the hammock and tarp together. so as soon as i get a chance ill set them up, but today is mothers day and im off to my grandmas.
Happy Mothers Day, all you moms out there.

Sweet, I like the style and shape. That is what I paln to do out of sil nylon and put my little stove and stove jack in.

Did something similar with the camo gear guide tarp to be used for motorcycle camping so weight was not really an issue but staying dry was, have since moved onto an OES and one of Scotts dreamer tarps so never use this thing much any more
