So going to make a tarp for bikepacking and hiking
. Hammock and bivy setup for mountain nights. Thinking 10x12 for an all around tarp.

Thinking something like this with a few other spots to string it up and add a few setup options.

I have a small cat-cut in the middle of the ridge line.

Check out rayjardine.com He's made some fantastic tarps that are pretty simple to put together and pretty strong. He also sells materials and thread though his prices are a bit high in my opinion. I scored some polyester thread for outdoor projects from walmart that I like for sewing bags and tarps.
