I think the Alpkit Rig tarps have been on their site for ages, although from what I can recall they were out of stock for quite some time. Not sure why I never paid them much attention, as it's a bit smaller and lighter than the DD and looks like it has a good selection of attachment points. Mind you, I'm not the biggest fan of tarps to date... its bivvy bag or tent for me ;)

We'll convert you :)

I prefer a tent as well. We bivvied on Ben crom one night with salvaged tarps. It was brutal night it rained all night it was horrible. As always it was made easier with a bottle of tonic. ;D
