CCS tarp virgin until this summer! Two trips so far. Photo on left is on Winchell from an August trip, and one on right is on Finger on a trip from hell earlier in June. Spent the whole day in a brutal head wind and downpour, and was feeling pretty good when I got the tarp set up into the wind! Love the tarp, only now I need a bigger one...

I almost got a green & yellow tarp from CCS, but didn't want to be mistaken for a Packers fan so I opted for green and white.

This is ccs 10x10 that I rented. It worked great. So easy to use with all the tie outs. A 10x14 1.1 oz is on my wish list.

I picked up a 16 a few yrs ago because it was on sale for 50 bucks. Good base camper, sets up a million different ways. Some places are small for it, but I roll or tuck the excess...never a problem.
i like it. Not a minimalist, so.........great!

What is that over the tent? Does it have some framing in it?"
jcavenagh: This is a standard CCS tarp - we just folded up one of the corners on the inside of the tarp.

On Omega July 4th batoned down for severe weather.
Big note the bungee cord trick for tieing off tarp worked perfect.
No ripped tarp we stayed dry except for the rope letting loose on the
canoe and having to tackle it before the it blew away.

Like s500yards, I used my tarp as my shelter while hiking the border route trail this past spring. I should have tucked in the back corners but I was too cold. :)

Forgot to mention that we use a telescoping aluminum pole to support the center.
sleepnbag, I noticed that it looks like you use one of those as well. Bought ours at Hoigaard's years ago, (I used to work there in the camping dept) We love the pole and saves the trees.

OK, so I just have to show you our tarp after we made some adjustments to it so we could have a screen tent when we visited Ima(mosquito) Lake last summer!

quote mr.barley: "I guess I wasn't thinking of them being Packer colors. I was just thinking how nice they look in the woods."
Initially I didn't either. I was thinking green & yellow too, as they're nice colors. Then one day I was out at the forest preserve, on mile twelve of a twelve mile run. I pass a couple people walking dogs, and one of them says, "Boo, Packers!". I thought, what the hell was that for,...then notived I was wearing green shorts with a yellow shirt. I hate to say that an idiot like that influenced my color decision, but maybe just a little,....

15x15
It's the 1.9oz not the ligher 1.1oz(Not sure if the 1.1 was availibe when I purchased it 10+ years ago??) At some point I'd like to get the 1.1 but, it is not at the top of my wish list quite yet.

YES! YES! YES!.... Jan is right about "the nice warm glow!".... I have a Lean1 Plus in yellow and couldn't agree more. I now have a yellow CCS Tundra Tarp on my "Wish List" for just this reason!

Fitgers1 post got me to thinking; we haven't done this for a while and with all the new members, and all the new trips this year, maybe we can see some new set-ups.

Moss Outfitter Wing. Sadly, Moss is no longer in the personal outdoor use tent and tarp business. Super huge with many possible configurations and built tough! The only drawback, it weighs a ton!
Picture from September 2010 on Ogish. Couldn't find a shot without people in it, doh!

What an ugly tarp. Did they run out of a color and had to mix?

My new Noah's tarp on its first trip to the Bdub. Nope, I don't put the tent under the tarp. Just did it this time as it was raining during set-up and it just worked fine the rest of the trip. Might do it again.

Nope, I picked the colors out myself (with the help of an Italian Designer.)
And for the record. I am not a Packers fan...or a fan of any sport for that matter. (Unless camping is a sport)

Warbonnet Superfly. The best feature besides being sil nylon is that it has two removable panels for both ends in case of really nasty weather. You can see them on the far end. They can also be positioned to close it off entirely.

This one is in honor of my online tarp mentor, butthead! Excuse the cheap blue tarp but it was all I had!
It was my first time stringing up a tarp and I used two key tips... utilize a ridge line and Dealee Bobs on the corners to keep the grommets from ripping out.
Cheap tarp road out a stormy night on the Gunflint this past week due to the rigging tips gleaned here. Great to have a dry place to hang out during the showers. CCS tarp is now on my wish list.
