MYOG in the wild

I'll start.. sil tarp I made in the Canadian Rockies, my homemade sleeping bag is underneath.

How does that go in high winds? It looks pretty sturdy and aerodynamic.

Thanks guys; I just pulled the line locs and put them back on from the inside.
The tarp is over a windwall on one side so that helped with the gusts, it wasn't really a windy night luckily. It's around 1.8x2.8m, a little small but good enough if you've got a small pack. No tent, would have drawn too much attention to ourselves!

Who's next? Show off what ya got!
