I noticed you are only using a tarp pretty much as a back stop. Have you considered a piece of rubber roofing membrane?? Just a thought, its what I have been using and it works well!!

@Spud Destruction: I haven't used Youtube in the past few years. They drove me away when they banned the use of music in videos, and they kept me away by the recent change requiring a valid phone number to set up an account, thus making even a modest amount of anonymity totally impossible. It may be something of an oddity in modern society, but I don't like the general public seeing my work and being able to trace it back to me.

hahaha i hear you DYI. And regarding mattyzip my real backstop is a thick ass concrete block wall, but i don't think it's filled with concrete, just the blocks are there. Only one way to find out

Good luck skipping it when you're accessing the site through a TOR node

How would you like it if one of your friends gave you a heavy backpack to "hold on to", told you to stand still, and ran away as fast as he could?

The youtube userbase alone was almost enough for me to leave, but after they started the account linkage/phone verification stuff, I saw no point in going along with it. I'll use vimeo until that community gets crapped up, move on, repeat.
DYI, that would be fun to try with random people at a bus stop or something. I mean, it's not illegal to ask someone to watch your backpack full of bricks, right?
