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).

Optional Rigging Kit:

Rigging
An optional rigging kit is available for those who wish to set up their tarp per our recommendations.

The kit comes with the following items:

  • 30 ft of 1.8mm UHMWPE core guyline with reflective tracer
  • 7 x 10mm Tensionlock guyline tensioners
  • 1 x Fastline clip
  • 2 x Guyline Grommets
Installation:
  1. Cut your guylines to the lengths shown below.
    • Front corners: 40" x 2
    • Rear corners: 30" x 2
    • Front apex: 96" x 1
    • Rear apex: 80" x 1
    • Midpoints: 20" x 2
  2. Install the tensioners using a girth hitch (see images below). Install at all perimeter tie-outs except the rear apex
  3. Clip the fastline clip to the rear apex.
  4. Install guylines into the tensioners:
    • Tie a loop in one end of each guyline. We prefer to use a bowline knot.
    • Thread the guylines through the tensioners as shown in the photos below. For the two guylines that attach to the ridgeline, slip a grommet onto the guyline prior to threading it through the tensioner.
    • Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.
