Re: tarp on shoestring?

I would say 30 to 50 quid is low budget for a theoretical tyvek 3x3 tarp. maybe? would be even nicer if it didnt have any brand names plastered all over it. Would consider making one if I could find an offcut the right length. I dont have any sewing skills though. have seen stick on tabs with eyelet...

tarp on shoestring?

Does anybody know of anyone who
Makes budget tarps.
I am thinking out of tyvek or uk equivalent material.
Just forming the haziest of notions ay the mo.
Could one make one without sewing?
Some kind of adhesive tabs and edging?
Throw me a rope I'm drowning.

shelter quandry

Hi
Need a shelter for the spring.
I'm sure it will get here at some stage.
What do you reckon, tarp, such as rig7
Or, tent such as ak delta?
Currently have a small two man ten
That is a little heavy.
I am on a budget.

bar bag boogie

Hi all
just a quick question.
I am a recent convert to Mary handlebars. Does anybody here use these and if so, do you you use any kind of dry bag harness?
I am thinking about buying a wildcat mountain lion and was just wondering if there are any issues with this combination?
That is all. :)
