Corporals Corner how do you think it would hold up in thick underbrush conditions?
Corporals Corner any good military ponchos you can recommend as a backup tarp option.
@@bahamajim1998 same here, not to many wooded areas were I plan on going, would like to see how it holds up using 2 pole system
NickS. •• here is my answer
@@recall5811 Not gonna lie, i'm interested in both of their questions and all you did was answer somebody who didn't even tag you who said you don't respond, by not responding to either of the people generally interested in your opinions question. I think Nick has a valid opinion right now, but that's my two cents.
I never thought I'd see the day the Corporal went ultralight instead of canvas and leather. I personally don't care for the Dyneema fabric stuff. It's prone to punctures by everything it touches and it crunches like a chip bag when the wind whips past it. I sold mine and went back to Silpoly/Silnylon as a half-measure. I hope you enjoy Dave's gear though. 😆 S/F
It's much stronger than you think man :)
I know they are high quality, and the weight savings are huge (my tarp is a 12'x10' that weighs around 2 lbs), but for $315, I just can't even begin to justify it.
This is a product that should be enjoyed thoroughly by those who can afford it. A fantastic presentation. A man can dream.😅 Everyone wants a Ferrari, but only a few can afford it. For those who want one, keep grinding. 😎👍
I swear you are the most patient teacher on the net. So careful to show exactly how to do your setups and knots. Gotta say you are awesome. Thank you for your videos.
For that price; I'll train my own spiders to weave me one. /:
So glad I found this channel, no nonsense, great presentation, a ton of personality, quality videos!
I truly appreciate your vids. You show the knots, everything step by step. I appreciate that so much as a non military trained Momma bear trying to prepare. Thank you.
Hammock Gear makes some absolutely AMAZING gear. The attention to detail and craftsmanship that they put into their quilts and tarps is second to none in my opinion. They were my first choice when I was thinking of having a custom minus 10° UQ & matching minus 10° TQ made. Harry took time out of his vacation to answer my emails and helped me design a set of quilts that was exactly what I had envisioned. Both have a 5" tall baffle height to allow the massive amount of down room to loft . They made the Burrow TQ a custom short length, added mini Beastie D rings to the Incubator UQ to allow it to be attached to my hammock along the sides to better keep it in place as well as other custom elements on both quilts. They recently stopped taking requests for custom work so I'm glad I got them when I did! HG does awesome work and I totally recommend them to anyone looking for quilts. If anyone is interested, I have reviews of both quilts, as well as my 40° Econ Burrow in my channel..... Another great vid Cpl. !
Cant beat Hammock gear I have a 0 degree UQ which i have slept a 2 below just fine.
HAMMOCK GEAR?? THANX I WILL DEFINITELY CHECK THEM OUT ASAP!!
Yep!!
My 1st deployment I learned you can’t put a price on comfort... this is definitely something for those that enjoy such things. It’s not unobtanium! People still haven’t grasped the concept that quality and durable materials won’t always be cheap. I get folks can’t justify spending as much on something they’ll barley use BUT there’s a lot of us that will and won’t complain one bit.
I'm so happy you found a tarp that works for you. But at that price( $341) is way out of my comfort zone
Seriously! The kind of tent and sleeping bag I could get for that kind of money would better suit my needs.
The truckers hitch is one of the most useful knots to learn its usefulness in all sorts of applications surprises me to this day
I can see using this on the Appalachian Trail where it would take weeks if not months to travel-- weight being the primary issue. But I'm sold on the 10x10 tarp that excels at a multitude of origami type set ups with the tent configuration as my all time favorite.
Been binge watching your videos.. With some of dave Canterburys... Very informative and useful.. My 3yr old son watches with me so last night it was me making a tarp style shelter with 550 and kitchen chairs in the living room because he wants to go camping.. Its cold and raining so that was the best option for the night happy camping with his dad.. Ive been learning and preparing with survival/bushcraft knowledge my whole life... Now ive begun to pass the torch...Keep up the great work...and the videos. Thank u for ur service!!
.
This looks like a great product if this were to be used on a weekly basis. I could see the benefit to such an item without hesitation. The problem is the price. I could go through 20 good tarps and still be ahead of the game.
8 years that's sounds bomb proof to me!
I've been married 2 times and both wife's started leaking before 5 yrs of use! lol
Dave canterbury is the most underrated living legend of all time... even Chuck Norris has heros!
Thanks for sharing this video. That tarp looks really nice. I bet it would be superb for cold weather. It would also be nice for generating some rain-free space, more so than the traditional, diamond-shaped rainfly. This would make it much more bearable to take extended shelter during a downpour.
didn't know roughing it became so shabby sheek. I hiked with a sleeping bag, 1 person canvas tent, couple candles, canteen, some garbage sacks. basic food.
It appears to be a great tarp but I wonder about condensation build up with it all buttoned up in Inclement weather. It would be great to hear your comments after you use it for a while.
It's nice to see some other survivalists taking a cue from thru hikers. Their ultralight gear looks delicate but lasts excess of 1700 mile hikes. Months of repeat use and many of them several thru hikes. I started looking into gear they carry a little over a year ago and they're really blowing my mind
I've UPDATED MY POST. THIS MATERIAL APPEARS FRAGILE. BUT AFTER LOOKING UP THE SPECS, IT'S STRONGER THAN KEVLAR FIBER. AND DYNEEMA IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST FIBERS OUT THERE. I SHOULD'VE NEVER QUESTIONED THE CORPORALS CHOICE, BECAUSE HE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS HAS THE MOST DURABLE PRODUCTS IN HIS ARSENAL.
OUTSTANDING! ONCE AGAIN!
mossymaple Dyneema is being used to replace cables on sailboats!
When I leave a release loop (you called it a slip loop) on a line, I like to put a stick through it and cinch it down. That way if it snags on something, it isn't accidentally released.
Never on a safety line, of course.
Love it, been looking at maybe a zpack setup same type of materials but i'm not a fan of bringing trekking poles and prefer a hammock instead of the ground. Thx for sharing
Oh wowzers.. love that knot! The tarp is none too shabby either! 😁
Edit : very expensive material though, hopefully now it's now becoming a 'thing', it'll get more affordable for the mainstream.
What a cool item! I imagine this takes the tarp setup time down more than a few seconds. And easy too.
Thanks for sharing
Brother that is awesome! Lightest tarp of its size that I've seen!
Omg that's awesome.
Speaking of Dave Canterbury, I purchased 6 of his bushcraft books. Love those books. I love to learn new things. Thanks Dave for the awesome books also. Love the tarp.
I like that the tarp encloses you inside of it rather than having one side open. Nice.
The Corporal missed his calling as a Sears catalogue model. I recently discovered that duct tape only sort of sticks to parchment paper but doesnt lose its stickiness while doing so. I have also discovered that there is a fine line between "edc" bag and "kidnapping hobbyist" kit. I think the difference is the granola bars.
I used a sil-ny treatment on 3 year old Tyvek house wrap. It's been used to cover many things, now into it's 7th year ………..+/-.
Your attention to detail is excellent. I love what I've watched so far. Great channel don't stop your lightning in a bottle.
Hope it lasts a long time and you enjoy it, not my thing at $315 but if you have the money to spend why not enjoy the light weight gear.
Well, great vid. It stows away smaller than a lot of mess kits. Definitely saves space in the ‘ol Alice pack! But what a price tag! You should check out the free soldier tarp. It packs down about as small and even with an aftermarket snake skin, you have enough left over for a couple or 3 fine bottles of aged bourbon!
Just a suggestion 🤔 one old vet to another. It will do all you showed here, you should check it out!
Dedicated fan of your work, watch everything you do - OUTSTANDING!
Julian Dorrell
Thank you! That is definitely more like it!
Just so folks know, dyneema fabric runs about $30-40 per yard and is relatively difficult to sew. So, HammockGear's pricing on this is not all that outrageous. Now whether or not it is worth it to you is a personal decision. If you are a young buck that likes to haul a 60 pound pack including a heavy tarp, go ahead and rock on. I would rather have my 25 pound pack (total including food and water) for a 5-day trip and go that route. That means I will likely have to spend more on good lightweight gear, but that is my choice and one that I choose often. For the record, I dont have one of these tarps, but I have been looking at them a lot lately.
No doubt this is a nice product, but come on.....300 bucks? For a tarp? This gear gig has just gotten ridiculous.
YOBO hammock stand, 375$ and up.😂
The material is patented unfortunately which is why it's so expensive.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos! I enjoy your squared-away presentation, and always learn something new. Your channel is one of my favorites!
LOL, I knew when I saw this someone would look up the price and freak out. Cubin fiber has been around for a long time and used a LOT in ultra lite backpacking. I have some gear made out of it, expensive, light. When I could do lots of miles I carried the light stuff. Car camping and just day hike stuff, I carry the heavier cheaper stuff.
"looking at it like hell no." "after using it like hell yes. That was great. Awesome video thanks for sharing.
Tarps of this design are more spacious when the side panels are guy lined up and out. The result is an expanded interior with more space between you and the potentially wet tarp. It also improves air flow and tends to reduce humidity inside the tarp.
Okay now this is something I really really want. Shelter and bed at under a pound?! Possible game changer. I could hike to treeline and set up camp then wake up early and go hike some 14ers. I could travel much lighter and with my favorite peak bagger bag. Sweet.
Ouch...... the cost has priced me out of the market. I Know you pay for quality, but I'll stick with my DD.... Thank you for sharing.
Make sure you don't leave it pitched in the sun. I've had mine for about 6 years and it's delaminating. My HG tarp is still the first tarp I reach for. I fixed the delaminations by using patches to cover the entire area that separated.
Nice review Corporeal. I researched options for hammock tarps a fair bit and this has been my dream tarp for a while. I plan to upgrade to it eventually. A lot of commenters poopooing your review. Ignore them, you did a good job and are sharing your knowledge for free. This is a top of the line tarp, with top of the line materials, the raw materials are expensive and it requires more labor than other tarps. It’s ultra wide, and provides the best 360 degrees storm coverage. That’s why it’s as expensive as it is. But it is worth it. It’s not for everyone, it for those that can afford the best and want the best. People who love the outdoors and do long distances or those who have bad knees or backs etc will buy these ultralight products because it’s worth the weight savings to them.
Also, not a big deal but I believe they are called Hammock Gear, or HG for short, not HG Hammocks.
Thanks for sharing.
That is a great product, but for $350 for a tarp is ridiculous, would rather carry a blue tarp from Harbor Freight.
For 350 bucks I can put up with a lot of discomfort, even the extra weight of a heavier tarp.
@@phillipparker8947 its worth it if you're a thru hiker that literally cuts their toothbrush in half to save a few GRAMS of weight. $350 is actually pretty cheap for dyneema, but yeah its certainly not something id expect the average once every 5 years camper to buy.
@@phillipparker8947 I agree, To be honest I would rather use a $25.00 Amazon Tarp, The additional weight isn’t a problem but I am not a Thru Hiker.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem Only an idiot is that concerned with weight.
My Aqua Quest Safari 10X10 weighs 1.6lbs versus 7.8oz, a savings of 9.2oz. That's amazing. However, the cost factor is quite prohibitive for the common man's wallet. That's $215 more to save 9.2oz.. I realize you get what you pay for...you just go through your pros and cons list and on occasion you have to bite the bullet. As I get deeper into my overlander vehicle conversion I'm running into a "wall" of exorbitant prices. I have an entire Composition book full of pros and cons lists. Great review Corporal Kelley!
Looks just like my Warbonnet SuperFly, identical actually, just different material and way more $$. Thanks for the video.
Thanks bro I have just been getting started building my pack and I jump from video to video of yours finding everything I need to know
Read my mind, super shelter. We’ll see how it holds up. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Awesome video!
It really helps seeing you set up the tarp, as well as explaining the features of the product as you go in the video. Thank you for the excellent video and ideas for a new tarp in the future.
Hey did you hear why the cow won an award? He was outstanding in his field.
cows are girls
@@lewisparkinson8874 A bull is still a cow.
@Gwynevere Gildemaster Lewis Parkinson was trying to nitpick my use of the word "cow" with "his". By saying that cows are girls. He is incorrect, a male cow, a bull, is also a cow.
@@randyhaight7202 cows and bulls are bovine or cattle. The cow is the female if such and bulls are the males.
One might see a group/herd of bovine/cattle and call them all cows regardless of gender. Proper usage of the identifying terms bulls are not cows.
$315 for a TARP.
Outta my league Brother.
Although, its snowing li kg e Hell her in New Jersey. Looks like it would've come in handy on a day/night adventure today.
I hate being BROKE.
I really love that "snake skin" feature, truelly out of the box.
Big applause for the R&D team! 👏
Outstanding, Marine. Hoorah! I like how you are able to make doors on each side, it beats the old shelter half I used in the Army.
I am always interested in the development of materials for the bushcraft/hiking/camping folk. Being associated with Synthetic slings for years, they come and go. Cubin fibers seem interesting. The first is that outrageous price. Comparable to that Cubin Ultralight Whiz Bag Fandango shelter. A couple more pounds and a hellava lot less money, enter the Super Shelter and its mods. For the gram weenies the cubin would be the way to go.
Anyway maybe Dupont is coming out with another fabric to beat the Cubin. Who knows. I guess if your pounding 50 mile days, the Cubin would be your pick.
Thanks again amigo for another good one
Peace from Texas
I thought Superman was dead. You learn something every day. Nice tarp.
I like the idea of it, but a bit out of my price range at this time. Thanks for the info on it.
Everyone talking big about how it is expensive, but it could outlive many tarps, is darn tough and is super light. In the end it all comes down to choice, take a couple more ounces or not.
Thanks for the detailed truckers hitch. Good job.
Another amazing video to watch thank you for you doing what you do you're amazing keep up the good work.
The worst part about dyneema is the cost ... not very common man. However, as dyneema is becoming more and more popular, the prices are coming down. In a few years it may end up being a common man item just like space blankets did in the '80's and '90's. Thanks for the review.
if you want the best then you will pay for it. Thanks for watching
Common man isn't always about price, it's about spending the least amount over years. Not one purchase. Even if you have to spend $300 today, instead of $50 8 times for 6 years of use. Hypothetical numbers but hope you get the idea.
Amazing....learnt a lot and now we know the secret of the knot really well. Look forward to more videos.
When everything is outstanding then nothing is outstanding.
opinions vary
Brilliant tarp! Well made, great idea. And as usual, another great instructional video aid from the Corporal's Corner. They should be using this type of content in schools! Respect and Salute. ♥
Top drawer training delivery once again. TY Corporals Corner, and nice dyneema tarp too
Great video ty ! How is condensation in the setup when the ends are tied closed ? I have done that with an 8x10 silnylon tarp and the condensation was pretty bad. I have been using homemade what I call sausage sacks for my hammock and tarp for years and I've done several videos on my setup including using mule tape and munter hitches for suspension. I really like the dyneema tarp and the weight savings but the price point........ Thank you for sharing !
everything is a give and a take man and it depends on the time of the year
You wont admit it, but by the way you come up with tarp ideas. You do Origami late at night with a flashlight under the bed sheets. Outstanding! Crawling into the hammock Im thinking of the song "Silhouettes" by the Rays watching this demo.
I wondered if anyone mad a tarp,that had end flaps when set up in tent config.Outstanding!
I dont have this tarp, but I've really been thinking about getting one. Thanks for the break down. I use HG quilts and they are very nice... they are a very good company and their work is of excellent quality.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but a “structural ridge line” for your hammock might be worth looking into. Great vid as always!!!
Thanks Corporal enjoy your Sunday good sir
I'm so glad to see this review. I've had a hammock gear tarp (without doors) for years, as well as a tent made of the same material. I absolutely love it. They are some of my favorite pieces of gear. Great job brother.
Neat piece of gear but I don't know about $315 neat. Maybe if you really need something ultralight but personally I'd want something more durable, bit more opaque, and of course, cheaper. Even if it does add weight. Good video though, thank you!
there are different colors and different styles as well as cheaper manufactures. Thanks for watching
The 'cost' of quality can't be overstated, just as the 'cost' of bad quality can't be understated. Afterall in the service one's rifle is made by the lowest bidder and lives depend on it. So the same for the hard charging hikers, etc. Over the years the expense is averaged out and it becomes less expensive by the year or number of camping days. In short, a better value in the long term.
Been using my HG Dyneema tarp for about a year now. Absolutely highly recommend. Try getting the continuous ridgeline and 4 tarp flies from Dutchwear...What a FANTASTIC combo. Love you guys, keep up the great content.
The 2 side pull outs are nice too, if you wanted to stake them out it gives extra head room.
Lol, I can see why you thought it was a trash bag before using it. I am extremely impressed with the quality that can be seen on the video, might order me one. Fantastic video Corporal!
I've been using a full zpacks setup for the last few years for my tarps tents and backpacks. Five years of guiding canoe trips it's outlasted and out performed my traditional gear.
Great video and really nice piece of kit. Too rich for my blood but ive seen it in use a few times and always hear the same... Its a great product.
me: spiderman said what?
corporal: 2:30
OUTSTANDING Video as always CPL. I prefer the camo version of it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can always count on you to keep me in the know. I am still having problems trying to get out of the noise discipline mode my Top beat into us on LRRP's. Your South Georgia SGT enjoys & appreciates your hard work. Semper Fi RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
Wow! That is one killer tarp and I like the fact that they include a snake skin with it. That is a must have!
The primary benefit of a tarp is it allows you shelter without isolating from your surroundings like a tent does.
If you like hiking up and over 11000 foot mountains like I do for a number of years you will likely work your way up to Dyneema. I heard it was originally used for racing yacht sails.
@Ben Finny I didn't get this tarp although its easier on the budget than my zpack duplex which has a bug net and floor.
Cool fly/tarp. Seem's that most of the comments are about the price of a fly/tarp. I can understand the comments. It seems extravagant to buy this and use it a few times .. A poncho works. Good content Thanks
Most awesome tarp I had never heard of! Now I am knowing!!
I like the "Snakeskin" feature. It looks like it would keep it from becoming a kite while setting it up. Thanks, Be Good, Be Safe.
The snakeskin feature makes the price point worth it. Easy set up, easy break down and easy storage. I might get this just for sleeping on the ground.
Long time hammock camper here. Just a tip for those who haven’t used a tarp like this: if using with a hammock there’s rarely a need to stake so low. Just hang your hammock and tarp at your normal heights. The hammock will be safely tucked up under the tarp. The doors simply block the openings on either end of a regular setup.
Sure does beat the hell out of the regular old 10x12 Walmart tarps I use...but $250? Is it really worth that price tag?
Looks like a great product, Corporal! Also I'm definitely picking up that hoody/shirt you're wearing. The only good thing about cool weather is the clothes, lol.
Trucker's hitch...totally worth the price of admission alone!
Nice review I'm still out on what I want they are all pricey for what they are ,I was looking at the warbonnet superfly which was around 270. After customizing .thought man I can get cubin fiber for that Jack it was a little higher looked at material 18$ for a half yd I needed 8 so they really only have a little over 100$ in labor .very worth it for quality professional work
Wouldn't mind one but hardly a necessity and for $315 (+ shipping) my inner debate ended quickly.
Corporal! Welcome to the world of UL.!! Nice setup.....Chag Sameach!!!
This really looks interesting. Wonder about puncture resistance and a bit concerned about the see-through nature of the fabric. Would love to try it, but to be honest, since my long-distance trekking and camping days are now pretty much over, $315 for a tarp could be perceived as grounds for divorce.
Steven Hobbs from what I’ve read whilst they have great tensile strength they don’t have super great puncture resistance (depends on the thickness of DCF), nor do they have great abrasion resistance. But it’s highly waterproof and very light.
It looked like a really great product, right up until I saw the $300+ price. Wow. Sadly, way out of my league. But I'm sure there will be plenty of champagne campers eager to scoop them up, while the rest of us ordinary folks stick with our space blankets and Harbor Freight tarps. Sigh.
Hammock Gear is a great company right out of central Ohio that makes quality gear. I own a 30 degree top quilt and it rocks! Great pricing too.
Brother either you have deep pockets or you’re getting free review equipment. Almost $700 between your hoodie and tarp.
thanks so much to the patrons. wish so bad I had some cash for the corporal
3:43 little tip, put one more wrap through that loop to make it a self tightening truckers hitch, saves you from having to hold it tight and hitch it up. Thanks for the video!
