Tarp and Bivy Set Up

[Benjblt]

New models of the MLD Solomid was just announced:

Looks pretty slick. I'm actually eyeing that new silpoly version that's only about 3 oz heavier than the DCF version. I'm wondering how much that will run.

Depends on where you hunt and camp, but the argali’s have a big foot print. Can’t get them up where space is tight. Something like slingfin tarp has a smaller footprint.

The Owyhee is smaller. I almost picked that one up with my BlackOvis rewards right before they went out of business.

Those look pretty sweet. Thanks for posting that. I forget about mld sometimes. The Solomid pro may be the ticket for me.

looks like a decent 3 season set up. I’m going to bet when they list the price of the DCF version it might change my mind. It’s up on their site now but without pricing

Also just saw argali is making something similar

Yeah. DCF is a little rich for my blood anyways. Especially with only a couple ounces saved. If I’m using a bivy tarp setup it’s early season and I will be running light on other things anyways.

I can understand why it’s so expensive- in the case of the MLD it’s 50% weight savings. But to your point, unless I’m sheep hunting I’m not getting that far down on cutting weight.

I’m curious why the MLD would only be considered 3 season vs the argali being a 4 season, but I guess the only way to figure that out is a late season rifle.

They must have taken it down. I don't see it now.
