I'm not a TarpTent virgin anymore!

“ribbed”

“LOL @ hyway

CD, the silnylon TarpTent floors are very slick and if you pitch on a slope, you will slide down, a lot.

One way of helping to keep you from not slipping is to take some sil seam sealer and paint some strips or dots of it across the inside floor.
The sil strips will provide much needed floor friction.”

“Used silicone sealant works good..but it makes the floor look kinda wierd.”

“Oh yea CD, congrads on the new Contrail!
I looked at oldog's new Contrail during the Deam trip and it looks very nice and super light! I think you will love it.”

“LOL @ hyway.

Oh yeah, I have heard that they can be kind of slippery. I don't want to wake up in the ravine afterall.”

“Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night all scrunched up at the bottom of the tent. This reminds me, I'm about 3 years overdue adding those stripes to my Tarptent...”

“My tarptent is ribbed for my sleeping pleasure.”

“LOL”

“Yeah but the first time someone looks in it...there are these glossy lines etc all over the floor....looks like you really had a GOOD TIME in there.”

“The silnylon is also ultra thin. It really gives me that natural outdoor feeling. It's almost as if I'm not using a tent at all.”

“but does it protect you from those little crawley things?”

“I have the Double Rainbow...welcome to Shire Sluts Circle...my tent floor is striped...and I look forward to introducing it to my new, soon to arrive, Exped Downmat 7 pad which I got with my REI dividend and the 20% off coupon...it's a good day!”

“Yes hyway”

“HPM - Just make sure if you don't use a tent that you can pull out of your bag in time... for breakfast.”

“LOL I used my rainshadow 2 in N Georgia..it was great. The problem with sliding was solved by having to wake up every couple of hours to do the caterpillar crawl up the tent floor...no problem with that now. (LOL)

Honestly I love the room, the ease of set up, and you feel 'covered" enough for critters but not LOCKED in.”

“does this thing fold up into a flat packet that you can put in your wallet”

“I have the Squall with the floor and mesh on the side. Nice tent and very light weight. Plenty of room for 2 or 1 with gear”

“LOL..no they tend to disappear and reappear at the new site....”

“My tarptent covers my gear quite well.
Not too big, not too small.
I'd call it a perfect fit.”

“Sounds like you're describing your condom.”

“dude, thats a bit direct, don't you think?”

“You can't get anything past that Nimblefoot character.”

“LMAO>>>>@ dirty old men..................

“Yeah!
Pigs!”

“We couldn't possibly have sexual innuendo on this site? Nah, no way.”

“I have the Sex Moons Designs Lunar Solo Tarp Tent and love it.”

“the sex moons?

“All those non TarpTenters are just jealous of our volume.”

“And flexibility.”

“I prefer my bivy.”

“Bivy's can fit in tighter crevices...”

“I go uncontained. I prefer the wide open spaces. If its wet I just get soaked, if the creepy crawlies are around I just scratch alot.”

Ive tried the uncontained thing....works ok in the west....

but where walnuts grow, not so well!”

“The Sipsey centipedes made me get a floored TarpTent, LOL.”

“Oh come and enjoy NW Wisconsin in July, hyway...become one with the mosquito...better yet, go up to Lake Superior in June and become one with the blackfly...”

“Umm, I like tents year round. My previous comment was an intent at sexual innuendo”

“ooh, hyway I missed that and it was a good one...I must be tired...off to bed...”

“she said in her best siren voice as she slithered into her tarptent, motioning with a seductive crook of her finger to the now terrified Hyway.”

“I like where this thread is going”

“SAD thing is OWNER...H.S.NOT TO ANSWER FOR TWO WEEKS for a bunch...not like him and hope OK?”

“Tent make man weak, Tarp make man less weak, no tent no tarp make squaw back wet.”

“Thanks, nimblefoot, now I have coffee and bits of my breakfast all over my keyboard...I do love a good full out belly laugh in the morning....

Henry is probably just off doing business stuff as usual...don't worry...somewhere, on some forum, he probably wrote about it...he posts a lot on practicalbackpacking.com....”

“At least you didn't spew up your breakfast at the thought of nimble's suggestion. That, at the least, saves a crumb of my dignity.”

“Yep, nothing like pitching a tent in the great outdoors...without a shelter.....


”

“well, he is pitching a tent”

“morning wood!”

“WTF is cold blathering about?

Work with us here, English man, English.
