After making a quilt in 2024, and a backpack in 2025, I decided to go for a tarp/tent to complete the big three. My main plan was to recreate my trusty Deschutes, while adding some bug netting and making some changes. I took some approximate measurements of my deschutes, as always though it is hard to get exact measurements of an already finished product.
For this project, I used the following materials:
5yds of 1.1 oz Silpoly
4yds of 0.7 oz MONOLITE™ Ripstop Nylon Mesh
Some extra webbing I had from previous projects
1 trekking pole
7 tent stakes
Changes for next time:
- make the tarp longer
- Figure out a cleaner design for the door area. Maybe a zipper?
