Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Crusader tarp / tipi

You are welcome wham. Not to step on your thread, but I have done a ton of work on snow loads. FWIW steeper angles / strong poles / slick fabric and a place for snow to accumulate go a long ways, but it sounds like you have your own ways. Lots of ways to accomplish things

i just really like the way a tent looks when it is covered in snow... and when it can support a ton of snow then you know that you have a tent that is worth it's salt. my center poles will support a lot of weight and i have literally been under enough snow that the pole was deflected more than 8 inches from center.

if the pole fails, it is easy to fix but none of my high end canopies have ever come apart under snow.

the crusader tarp is going onto retail shelves hopefully by hunting season and i will offer it in 2 camo patterns and 2 solid colors. there will be a full demo vid at the display and i will see you guys at the shows this year or early next

the crusader tarp in proper colors

Almost hate to say it, but I dig the colors!

It looks a lot like an old Mountain Smith tipi I had, color wise. Pretty sharp actually.

i can build it any color or camo... the design itself is pure. geometry in motion and sets up in ways i haven't even tried to figure out yet.

That's a really nice design. Well done!

Thanks 4ager

As an Englishman, thats the best Ive seen so far!! Well done

Thanks.... hard to go wrong with the cross

if you are in cody, wyo. on the 1st and 2nd of May, i will be at the cody outdoors show....it coincides with the park opening....FYI and you can see the crap i'm turning out....

What's this shelter weigh, and how would 2 dudes with gear fit in it? I really like the look of that.

i can build them out of 30 d. silnylon at 1.5 lbs.... all the way up to 500 d. cordura at 4.5 lbs....
it is a very good 2 man shelter with a stove even.

cuben would come in at less than a lb.

weights are for the canopy only in a bag.
