Weather conditions were very rough last weekend in the northeast with winds topping 40mph all night long. After years of impeccable service, my cuben fiber tarp was done in by a branch blown down by the wind.
I slept through it all. I woke up when a friend walked by and asked me if I was okay. I opened my eyes and the branch as 4" from my nose.
The tear is pretty complicated and covers an 11" by 8" area. I'm fairly certain I can slap a $10 zpacks patch on it and it'll be good as new, but of course part of me is a little sad to see this happen in the first place.
