Hexamid/tramplite style dcf tarp. Overall happy with it, too snowy outside to do a real test pitch so a bit difficult to assess how tight it will pitch though. Plan is for it to be my decent weather tarp for weekend outings in my local (central Scandinavian) mountains. Weighs 138 grams without front line, waiting to cut that one until I can do a real test pitch.
I made myself some 'mushrooms' to fit atop a pair of carbon fibre poles to spread the load. Rather than the 8mm tip of the pole holding up my trekking pole tent (Lanshan 2) there's now a 25mm wide 'mushroom'
These are 3D Printed in PLA so are rigid. They add 3mm to the height of the pole. Weight on my scales is 1g, but the slicing software says they use 3g of plastic - either way, they're light.
8mm = 0.5cm2
25mm = 4.9cm2
A tenfold increase in surface area, I'm happy with that.
The 'Thing' to print.

That's already 1/4 of a pack of seaweed you can bring along without feeling guilty.View attachment 16258
More weight trimmed from the Prophet today, feels much better without that 1.59g weighing me down

I’l transfer the pattern to the yellow corrugated plastic it’s sat on tomorrow but i’l have to use Velcro as the spikes on kam snaps aren’t long enough
