The Tarp

Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from about 8' at the head to 6' at the foot and is offered in two lengths to better fit your needs. We think this size tarp is the sweet spot for the solo camper.

  • Tapered shape uses space efficiently
  • Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
  • Recycled fabric option
  • Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
  • Lower water retention than silnylon
  • Reflective tie-outs
  • Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.

Tie-outs

Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), and about 14" in on the ridge from each end (2) (18" on the 10' tarp).

There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 14" in from the narrow end (18" on the 10' tarp) to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. We recommend using a fastline clip (included in the optional rigging kit). Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.

Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.


Seam Sealing

You'll need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these instructions (or use our service).

great if you wanna just keep buying more and never actually moisturize
Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this is the least moisturizing lotion I have ever used in my entire life. it goes on so thick and smooth and feels great and smells great but then a couple hours later my skin feels dry and needs more.. and if you put it on at night, when you wake up the next morning, your skin is completely ashy and flaky. It’s absolutely awful.

MUST READ - HONEST REVIEW
I want to share as much as I can about this product - only honest reviews from me. I bought this product because I had been experiencing dry and itchy scalp. This has been going on for several years. I tried many things. And I mean MANY. From increasing my water intake to several over the counter products. I simply couldn't understand what was going on to cause this embarrassing and uncomfortable experience. I'm a very clean person and as embarrassing as it is to say this, I want to be honest... my problem got to the point of developing a scalp odor. Nothing worked. Nothing. Finally, I came across this shampoo. I actually bought several different products for my scalp from Amazon the same day I bought this shampoo. I figured I can't give up! Needless to say, I can't speak for the other products because this one did the trick!! It really did!! No more itchy scalp. No more flakes and dryness. NO MORE EMBARRASSING ODOR!! You don't know how much a person can honestly appreciate this result until you yourself have lived with the humiliation of this problem. Application: I am very generous when applying this shampoo. In the shower, I place plenty in my palm, lather it in my hair for a good minute. I leave it in while I wash and scrub my body. I rinse then repeat. The second time around I only lather, gently scrubbing my scalp and immediately rinse. No waiting. Done. If you've ever felt "soft water", my personal experience has been that after rinsing the shampoo off, my hair feels so soft, as if I had run soft water through it. I will also add the only downfall is that I sometimes do feel a slight residue-like feeling on my hair after it dries. That's pretty much it. But hey, I can totally live with that as oppose to the ladder! It's probably a simple matter of figuring out the proper portion to use. Did I mention my hair is long, all the way down to my hips. Hence the generous portions. Over all, this shampoo deserves an honest 5 star rating from me. Try it! See for yourself. Hopefully your experience will be as great as mine, if not better!
