Cuben Fiber Tarp by HammockGear

I love it!!!! 6.5 ounces before guylines and such. It does not come with guylines ...so choose and use your favorite.
So lightweight it feels like nothing and it is big. Was kinda thinking that I would not like the translucent aspect but it so cool looking through it at the trees, sky, stars and moon. Like looking through frosted glass. A bit brighter on the inside than my other tarps but for that kinda light weight....I will take that. Throw a shirt or something on top and all is mighty fine.
Cuben is the newest wonder fabric and is expensive. I am an old man and spend my money on lightweight gear to help lighten my pack load.....that plus careful packing.
All secure and lighter in sector seven,
Shug

Thats simply amazing...incredible...what a radio voice!  Also, Hollywood should have  Havana Shug star in a major motion picture! IMHO...

I'm also old and interested in decreasing weight - and I've gotta say it's easier lightening the backpack than lightening myself...

Cuben Fibre: lighter tarp, lighter wallet - nothing to slow you down on the trail.

! yessir, the success of your tarp throw into the hammock at the end, caused a verbal outburst in an otherwise quiet line at the return section at Wal-Mart... thank you for that, sir!

[Detman]

Thank you for showing it in the stuff sack, you're the only one I've seen do that.

I have watched many many tarp video reviews. Most of them on this channel. Shug ... I think you have found the perfect tarp. Something only a dedicated hammock hanger could have designed. Excellent. And he is a ginger!

@shugemery Thanks for the response shug! Im sure you already know this.. but the IJA festival is going to be in Rochester! Hope you'll be performing!

Shug, you are the coolest buddy. You look good in those plastic frame glasses.

[RonGallant]

Any community would be lucky to have you Shug. Somehow, it ended up being the hammock guys. Well, I guess I will have to join. Picking out my first hammock as we chat. Reading your posts on the forums also. Thanks and don't stop.

great review, great musik, cool tarp and fun video as always Shug! a milion thanks for it!!

[bilko]

EXCELLENT as usual!
You had me in stitches but i was careful not to laugh. Not long ago finished a dominos pizza with anchovies so laughing could have been fatal.
Love that catch phrase " all clear in sector 7" got to get me one of those phrases.

@shugemery you are quite welcome, my friend call me Herr Professor Dr Professor. BTW: What is the most economical way to go for a ham/tarp set up?

[MDuchek]

Yes Summerfest, though they had to duck out yesterday due to the heat. I'm off with him today though so you never know, maybe we'll end up down there again

I don’t know exactly why I’m watching this, but I love it!

[runningstreammx]

Great review, great product - you always crack me up and your new crafty camera work is really cool. Thank you.

[mat-ventures]

Love the intro music and loved the review, mostly the funny Mexican ! :) Thanks!.... Also, that LUCKY throw man! Wow and congrats!

[CraigRidesBikes]

Shug, I'd watch your videos even if I didn't give a morning constitutional about hiking gear. Keep 'em coming.

When you have all the doors open, have you considered folding them to the inside and attaching them to each other? That way, if it's raining and you want to close them, the inside of the doors won't be wet.
