Ultralight Tarp/Tent

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

Gutermann MARA 70 Thread

Dragon Tension Lock

Some extra webbing I had from previous projects

1 trekking pole

7 tent stakes

Laying out the material and making the initial cuts
door piece
first “pitch” in the living room
first outdoor pitch
bug netting from the inside
