Lightening up.
Wanted to cut some weight in my pack by stop carrying a tent. But hiking in the PNW without one is a great way to spend a wet night.
Enter the Flat Tarp. Weighs a pound (2.5 lbs less than my tent), and keeps me dry in all but the worst storms.
Doesn’t take up much space in my pack either. Love it.
Bomber tarp
Well made! Very happy with purchase.
Bomber!
I spent 8 weeks bushwhacking and backpacking throughout Alaska. This thing held up valiantly and kept us dry throughout the entire process. The guy lines work fantastically, making it super easy to set up on the fly and within a matter of minutes. Considering the weight, I may replace my tent with a tarp system!
Sweet
Very nice tarp!! Looking forward to getting lots of miles out of it!!!
Awesome tarp!
This is a great tarp and for the versatility of a shelter like this you can't beat the price! Its light enough for me to bring it even if im sharing a tent with my wife and versatile enough to use for a hammock tarp or a ground shelter. All the different tie out points make this a gem!
