Bear Bones 'Shower Curtain'.
Cuben 'Shower Curtain' hot off the sewing machine. Okay, so it doesn't turn a tarp into a tent but at 20g the amount of additional protection it offers is very surprising. Hopefully this will become a production item in both cuben and sil'.
My initial plans to call it a 'beef curtain' were thwarted

Re: Bear Bones 'Shower Curtain'.
Great idea,I'd be interested in of these to go with the Tarp pole,
Any idea on cost yet ? I actually thought you meant a shower curtain
On first glance as I've been looking at one of them as a lightweight

Side angle is a good point, it may just be a sliver, maybe rear three quarter shot?
I can't picture how much it's angled and how it fits the set ups you've got in the pics (though I know you can change the set up!)

Just made a 'Shower Curtain' for Adam from 15g/m cuben. It's slightly shorter than this one but a little wider. With 2mm adjustable shockcord tie-outs it tips the scales @ 15g.

Re: Bear Bones 'Shower Curtain'.
I might be interested in one of these curtains but I can’t find any showers on the site. What showers are you guys using and how do you carry the shower gel?

Some would say this whole place is an absolute shower, as per Terry-Thomas (Google... )Smcknighty wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 2:13 pm I might be interested in one of these curtains but I can’t find any showers on the site. What showers are you guys using and how do you carry the shower gel?
I reckon the cuben curtains are collectors items now that Stu has switched to spinnaker. Have got one of each and they're very useful. How many cuben ones did you make in the end Stu? Collectors item or not?
