Must be new shelter day.

Specs: 7.5'x9' DCF Tarp, 5.8 oz, 12 tie outs, $279.

Plays nice with Borah bivies, first batch ships in <2 days.

$20 cheaper, 0.7 oz heavier than a zPacks 7x9

If you’re not familiar, Borah Gear is a quality one-man shop known for their bivies and tarps. Everything is designed and made by John in Montana. I hiked the CDT with a Borah Gear bivy and $59 silpoly solo tarp and can recommend them as well-made and excellent values.
