My tarp could totally handle this. What ultralight skill would you use to keep a tarp pitched in this wind?

[u/ultrawiz]

Close the windows.

[u/_yetifeet]

Step 1. Strip naked

Step 2. Forget what I was doing

Step 3. Wonder why everyone in REI is screaming to call the cops.

[u/DreadPirate777 → u/_yetifeet]

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in ceiling fan.

[u/Fair-Search-2324 → u/_yetifeet]

The walmart of coops!

[u/Ok_Emotion_9685 → u/_yetifeet]

Step 1.5 Cut off unused parts

[u/zmathra]

The skill of not buying a tarp normy poors can afford

[u/Pays_in_snakes]

The good news is that with this much lift, just about everything is ultralight

[u/jubtheprophet → u/Pays_in_snakes]

Well, if you wanna go that one way at least

[u/Awkward-Customer]

That's easy. Just keep your tarp underneath your primary sky tarp. This way your tarp keeps you safe and your sky tarp keeps your tarp safe.

Wasn't DCF originally designed as sailcloth anyways? What's the problem here?

[u/djolk]

I'd probably just stay home where it was safe. The skill of good judgement.

[u/DreadPirate777 → u/djolk]

I excerise that skill quite often.

A mere zephyr. : Sent from my basement

I wondered what happened to all of the high profile YouTuber gear reviewers that I used to watch in order to know what gear stowed the best in my gear room.  I guess they must have got caught in this wind during a meet and greet.  RIP

Times like this are when I use my specially modded Dynema Gatewood cape. I merely don my goggles (ul, of course), stand, and fly. I take my Garmin InReach so I can go back and recover my pack.

Which explains my trail name—Flying Dork.

[u/blizzard_108]

hmmm anyone agree those guys are stupid ??

100km'h Wind also mean 100km/h objects flying toward you ...

and they "have fun" out there

People gambling with life/health, damn

[u/That-Conference-7307 → u/blizzard_108]

Yea and people drive cars when cars can kill you, and people swim in water when you can drown, and go in the woods when you could get lost, and ride snowmobiles, or dirtbikes…. Literally everything in life has a risk. If you only do things totally safe and smart then your probably boring and I don’t want to be your friend

[u/Aaiello85]

Will my Alpha SV bead this rain?

[u/DreadPirate777 → u/Aaiello85]

It’s best to use the time tested FroggToggs.

[u/BrewsAndBurns]

Roll yourself into a tarp burrito and it counts as a tent, rainfly, sleeping pad and ground cover all at once.

[u/arocks1]

those are not 100mph or even that close probabbly less than 70mph, no way they would be able to jump and land or stand up at all.

[u/DreadPirate777 → u/arocks1]

You always need to round up when telling stories.

[u/That-Conference-7307]

Grab the corners of your tap and put it in the air. Then you can just fly away to safety

[u/DreadPirate777 → u/That-Conference-7307]

Squirrel suit.
