Hey Shug! I just recieved my Warbonnet XLC in ocean blue dreamtex! Ordered over memorial day so saved a few bucks and with that got a matching winter topcover, mountain fly tarp, and 100ft guyline! Just hooked it up here in South Dakota and let me tell you what! I am so happy i found your YT channel!!! You talked me into trying this whole hammock thing out and im so glad i spent the 450 with warbonnet! Great quality product. If they would answer the phone i would tell them too.

The biggest advantage of the mini fly is good end coverage from a small tarp with only an 11' ridge line. Comes in handy when the available tree options are closer than ideal.
@MstrRo6 жыл бұрын
As always, well done, Shug. Where those tarp pole kit poles cross the ridge-line, you might want to add a dab of Silicone on the ridge-line. I had an 11 x 9 polyester tarp, and although it did not stretch much when wet, it still adsorbed 16 oz of water. I think Polyester's greatest strength is for those that base camp as they resist sun degradation better than Nylon. Nylon is also more forgiving because it does stretch. Enjoy your new tarp toys.

I have the minifly in the silpoly and Bushwhack camouflage. I replaced a cuben fiber tarp with it for one reason... The end peaks they have on the mini fly. That was a great idea because they help to stop any driving rain from coming in at either end. Also the Warbonnet Blackbird in the 70 D double bottom hammock is idea for buggy areas. I camp in Florida and mosquitoes are a problem most of the time. They will bite threw a single bottom hammock to get to any body part that's touching the material. Camping in the blackbird I have never been bitten.

In regards to the use of the "tarp poles", it will be interesting if someone has a different way to attach them. I made two poles for my WB Cloudburst tarp, I use with their bridge hammock. I attached them similar to the way you do and for what it is worth they have stayed put every time. I have had about 10 trips with them so far and even in pretty windy conditions they have "stayed put". Thanks for the preview of the new tarps.

Not sure if anyone else has said it below, but I made my own Superfly out of silpoly because I personally prefer the material. It doesn't stretch as bad (if at all) with moisture like silnylon does in my experience. I have the Warbonnet Ground Tarp also made out of silpoly, feels thinner than my 1.1oz silpoly DIY Superfly, but it also could be the feeling that the camo pattern leaves on the material. Considering the Thunderfly for my summer/fall adventures and keep my DIY Superfly for winter and foul weather.

My experience with WB is they seam seal the tarp ridgeline but you need to seal the panel pull-outs yourself. You showed some seam seal with the mini-fly - that doesn’t have pull-outs. Is that back up if you need to refresh the ridgeline or does the mini-fly ridgeline need to be seam sealed out of the box?

Sorry about the dumb questions here but I've looked and can't find the answers. New to Hammock camping and I've only set up my thunderfly once. Upon setting up my tarp I noticed that it has 4 stainless split rings attached along the tarp ridge-seam. The ring on each end is obviously for a split ridgeline OR for a tato or nama claw connector to make the tarp taught. BUT... It ALSO has two split rings on the underside of the tarp closer to the center. Do you know what these two split rings are for? If I run my continuous ridgeline through all 4 rings, my CRL HAS to but under the tarp. If I want my CRL to run over my tarp, the two middle rings can't be used with the ridgeline. Also, does the ridge-seam of these Tarps need to be seam sealed?

The split rings are for the tarp ridgeline tie outs. Not sure about the inside rings. Mine does not have them. Just onit them for a CRL and use the ends. They say you don't need to seam seal ridgeline but I always do anyways.

@@shugemery Thank you for the reply! I really appreciate the videos you make. So I decided to email Warbonnet directly and ask THEM. Lol. I finally got a response this morning. Apparently the rings I'm referring to are only on the 13' Thunderfly (which I have) and they are for hanging the ridgerunner bug netting from. This seems very convenient but I had dismissed this as a possibility because I figured doing this would end up pulling my tarp down closer to my Hammock. I can't wait to try it out and see. Thank you again for the help!

Hey Shug. Do you know if you could close the doors of a 12' Superfly or Thunderfly using a Ridgerunner? Or does it have to be a 13' model?

You may not be able to close them all the way. All my tarps are 11' so I could not say for sure.

Hey Shug, what’s your opinion on using small Amsteel for tarp tie outs? I’m contemplating 1/16” UCRs or whoopie slings. Whatcha think?
@shugemery5 жыл бұрын
They can be hard to loosen up if too tight. A bit overkill in my opinion. I tried a whoopie on a ridgeline once and did not take to it.

Dyneema is very expensive so if saving a few ounces is important then maybe that would suit you. I like my Thunderfly. I got silpoly.

Why not have a spreader bar in the inside, as a hoop, with much lighter pole material? Would be easy to have two pockets for the end of the hoops to nestle in, would be more effective and easier to use. Guess Brandon would have to address that.

Th inside sheds snow better for sure but in 3 season I don't see the need. The ones that go on top do real good. But either way works.

My cuben tarps don't take on water but I am not always crazy about the translucency of cuben material. The silnylon tops I own do absorb water and get heavier in rains. Looking forward to trying this silly to split the difference....especially when backpacking in rain.

I have a question on tarp materials. Do you know if the Sil Nylon Tarps are more durable than the Dyneema Cuben Fiber Tarps? Just wondering how "bomb" proof the Dyneema Cuben fiber material is. And which takes less maintenance when it comes to seem sealing and keeping waterproof.
@shugemery6 жыл бұрын
Cuben needs no seam sealing, does nor absorb water, is expensive, is translucent, hard to tear on the pull but easy to poke a hole in. Can be patched with duct tape. Sil nylon is tough. Absorbs water, cheaper, cannot be repaired with duct tape.
