This is a simple sail/power kite/parashute. It works in wind and it is great fun once you get the hang of it.it has great pull and can lift you from the ground if you run from a hill.

It takes 10mins to make the tarp parachute. Materials:two 8ft by6ft tarps,zip ties,string/twine. First step is to line the tarps together to make the tarps 16ft long.combine them both in the center with zipties (make sure the tarp has those metal holes).step 2 as sting on the top and bottom of each side of the tarps.then tie a knot with each ends of each tarp then you're done.
