I've been playing around at home with a few tarps and bivy's, I sort of build prototype things in Tyvek, but when it comes to construction my meagre sewing skills let me down, so what do you do, head for Google.....
Found a couple of vids, one on the way the industry might be going, and another more in my scope of doing things. Interesting to watch, and another case of where technology, in this case adhesives, are changing things dramatically. I've just ordered a selection of adhesives from these vids and will attempt a few more slightly ambitious projects.

I've had a "Bilgy Tarp Tent Kit" off Quest Outfitters for some time, but haven't gotten around to trying to build it, looks like I might be able to glue instead!
