Tarps modified for a Kifaru type stove

[Turk]

Okay, all the parts and pieces are finally here.
My brand new camera has mysteriously died on me, so I am unable
to take any pics at the moment... but thank god for extended
in store warranties. I'll toss it back at them and get a replacement
if necessary. Just won't turn on at all. (sony DSC-S650)

Anyways, I have a real nylon working tarp set up today.
I decided to go with the Kelty Noah 16 tarp for a number of reasons.
Several people felt that 1.1oz ripstop would not survive the thick
brush and scraping branches that I normally hike in. I wanted a cat-cut
tarp, but the DIY skills required to make a true cat-cut are not beginner
friendly. And lastly, the Kelty Noah tarps are just plain DIRT CHEAP.
I don't think Icould have bought the materials at wholesale for the finished
price of this tarp.

I am in the midst of pinning up all my modifications to make this tarp into my
finished multihammock heated shelter. The ti-goat jack is going in, velcro end
closures and extra guy-outs this weekend.

VERY excited to get it pitched again and start using the stove inside it.
In hindsight.... the thing is frigin huge. I know I was expecting it to be big...
but the reality of it always catches you. This tarp will give me the perfect
dining shelter and heated social area for group camping this winter. I can
easily accomodate my wife and daughter inside with all our hammocks touching....
or house one hammock, ti-goat stove and have loads of room for 2 people to
go-to-ground on either side with all gear, and a large wood pile, while maintaining
safe distance from the hot stove.

Turk (and all those with Sony cameras) there has been a class-action suit relating to failures of many Sony cameras. The screens go out if I remember correctly.

Turk, I am dying to see a floor plan. I am still trying to figure an elk camp bunker design....maybe something like this could work for me...How much head room, how well of a seal at the edge to keep out wind.... I pray your camera get's fixed soon!
