| Jan 24, 2012 at 23:33 | comment | added | Seanland | @HartleyBrody :D Don't get me wrong if it is not rigged correctly it totally could be louder, usually there is a fair amount of space between my tarp and the tent, as in I can usually stand up comfortably under my tarp. | |

| Jan 24, 2012 at 23:23 | comment | added | Hartley Brody | ...wouldn't there be the sound of the rain on the tarp? | |
