  • Excellent, Solid piece of kit
Color: Woodland Camo Size: 10 x 10 ft
Really well made. Not too heavy. Very water resistant and strong, tons of tie down options. Makes so many situations much more comfortable. From simple shade in the middle of a field. You can get out of the elements effectively with this and really get creative with the shelter and tie downs. Rain, Snow, Sun or Wind, Just a great solution. The camo helps conceal my hammock so I don't draw attention which I really like . Especially if I'm alone. I don't want people seeing my sleeping or camping. ... show more

  • Excellent Tarp
Color: True Terrain Camo Size: 10 x 7 ft
One of the best tarps I've ever owned. It did an amazing job as a shelter to keep rain and wind out of everything. Very sturdy with plenty of tie off points to keep it secure. Light enough to backpack with and the camo pattern blends right in to the woods.

  • Like no other tarp!
Color: Woodland Camo Size: 15 x15 ft
I’ve now used this for 4 years during fall and early winter camping, and there is no tarp like it anywhere! My tent was getting old and the rain fly has holes, so I bought this to cover the tent and create some outdoor covered space using poles and elastic guy- lines. It’s still in pristine condition even after enduring weeks of 30+ mph winds, rain and snow, as well as high elevation sun. It’s a nice medium heavy weight, does not tear and the seams are still solid. And even after all this time it still easily folds up and fits into the small storage bag it came in. I wouldn’t buy any other tarp. ... show more

  • Versatile Tarp
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 10 ft
This is a high quality tarp with many setup options. The loops are plentiful and provide durable attachment points. We like the tarp and see it as useful in many situations while camping.

  • Tarp
Color: Olive Drab Size: 10 x 10 ft
This product has strong feel to it and the loops built into the edges are reinforced with an edging material that yields a superior durability for tarps that experience strong, consistent winds.

  • A ‘must bring’ to the field
Color: Woodland Camo Size: 10 x 10 ft
I’m in the Army Infantry and this has been my go-to protection through snow, hail, wind, rain and thunder storms for the past 2.5 years. The multitude of tie downs points, the elasticity of the tent, and quality build have lasted me this long. Sadly I now need to buy a replacement since mine is finally getting holes, but in all honesty I’m surprised it lasted this long. For reference, I broke through my issued tarp 2 rotations in. I also often use semi-sharp sticks to prop up the center…. Tough tarp for its size. I highly suggest buying one of these but it has one main drawback (which is common): it starts to sag after it’s been rained on a lot, regardless of how it was set up. I highly suggest getting quick release buckles in order to hasten your set up and take down… I had this tent and my sleep system completely broken down and packed away/completely set up in about 5 minutes with those buckles. The tie down points also let me easily connect other tarps in a way I can’t do with other tarps. I love that. They also allow me to pull this tarp to fit awkward sized spaces, which I often find myself setting up a hooch in. The woodland camo is ideal for semi-concealed locations. Placing just a couple branches around the tarp with it set up at a height of about 2-3ft makes it hard to detect if done right. Seeing as how weight is a factor when I go to the field, I have to rate this a 4 since it tends to hold the water weight. Again, not uncommon. I highly suggest this to anybody who’s looking for a quality tarp that’ll last through any element they encounter. ... show more
