Great Video. Tarp looks like a beauty, I really like the tie outs being on both top and bottom. What part of construction did you find the most difficult?
Happy Trails

Quick question - would the use of strategically placed grommets add or subtract from the overall weight of the tarp? Are they a help or a hinderance?
Either way - very nice work!

Where's the tarp? Just kidding I love camo!
Do you find the middle sags? When I made my own tarp I found the middle sagging. I have to put incredible tension on the lines to get it taught. I feel like they'll burst and cut someone's head off.

you need to put a catenary cut into the tarp to get tight pitch. In theory you need infinite tension to get a straight tarp straight.

did you say how much it weighs? I must have missed that.
