    From a guy who is wrestling with his own tarp. What was your finished weight? Do you know the brand/ price of the material used?

    Very nice looking.

    What material did you use?

    I just made a pair yesterday. My local gear shop has a roll of 1.0 ripstop 48" wide in the store room. They don't know why they have it and sell it to me for really cheap. I should just buy the whole roll...

    I'm actually just about to make some per the instructions on www.tothewoods.net. Did you use any posted instructions? If so, which ones?
