Rocking the ILBE military rucksask i see My man! Great video buddy. I am currently making my own tarp from normal polyester lining and will finish it with the same impregnation process you are using but for the whole thing. 1 part silicone 3 parts mineral spirits (odorless). Stay safe
I did something similar. Used poly cotton queen flat sheet and silicone saturated it. I use large plastic beads for buttons. It doubles as a cloak-puncho if I need a waterproof poncho. Round beads for buttons. Much less effort to get going. It's not ultralight but I carry few items anyway.
We watched a few of your other videos yesterday, we enjoyed them enough we have subbed you sir. I tough we had subbed yesterday but for some reason it was showing we weren't, but it is corrected today,. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a blessed week my friend. Thanks again and have a blessed weekend my friend. Dale
Except when you're sewing that large material like that if you put them on paint rollers or it gets a real rollers for like wood or metal shop stuff for sawing a board works really well but you can DIY your own paint rollers by putting a long cardboard tube over the paint rollers on chin and then using paint sticks in buckets to hold it up and you roll material from one roller to the next roller sewing in between
+Marshall Jones-Paragon Fury So far, they are holding up fine. I haven't had any problems. I haven't been in crazy wind with it, but I have been in some decent wind. I haven't had any slippage. I am using 2mm cord.
that cutting guide is magic!
Great video, it's nice to see how each part is sewn.
A little more detail on making the rolled seam would be nice.
You've done a great job, thanks!
Thank you for the video! I learned a ton in preparation for my project.

Great video man, your little one grabbing stuff off of your table made me laugh.
Best part..adobo. Watched the whole video hoping for a reprise.
Great video mate. Many thanks from Wales, UK.
How did this tarp hold up
I assume you made a stuff sack or dry bag for it also
Thank you so much for sharing this! Sincerely appreciate it!
Out standing video ... thank you!

Hey, what machine youre using?
great job bro...thanks for posting.this helped a bunch
Nicely done.
If you had to re-do this, would make this with a catenary ridgeline instead ? How's it been holding up since you made it?
Thank you friend!
Looks pretty good! What is the final weight of the tarp? And which kind of silpoly was it? I am guessing the Momentum? Thanks.☺

you need a set of rollers in the fornt like the ones to roll out steel to hold your sheets
Thanks for this! Very helpful. :)
How much did it end up weighing?
How long was youyr Zing It ridgeline?
Hi cheers for the video, very tempted curious as to what kind of size this packs down to in the end?
Just the tarp is probably about the size of a liter of water.
Any idea how much the tarp weighs?
I am kind of curious as to what part of the country you live in? You have what sounds awful lot like a Rez accent.
I have lived all over the west. Iowa, Utah, Southern California, Texas, and Washington. It is a true mix.
Very well done
how well do those line locks hold on the guy out points? and what size cord are you using with it?

awesome thanksi'll need to look into them thanks :D
How has it been holding up ?
And what about rain, is it waterproof ?
Curious also
How many yards is that?
Inspiring 👍
Great vid - thanks.
Half and half ratio on the sil mineral spirits?
I don’t think it’s that critical - just dilute until thickness is as desired.
