Setup with no trees and no rope, 3 minutes

Jungle Rain

I am a first-time tarp owner so maybe I'm being a bit free with my stars but I've had some great night sleeps until my 10x13 guide. I had it setup like an A frame for 3 days of intense Vancouver Island rain (47mm overnight) and I was cozy and dry. It sounded like bullets. This size can easily be setup as a tent for 2 as well. I would highly recommend.

Product showed up in good order and on time

Product showed up in good order and on time, no problems at all with that. First time out with the tarp in freezing rain, turning to hail and the tarp held up good. I did end up using shock cord in the eye loops to extend the life of them, never the less the tarp as a whole is solid. It should last for years so long as I take care. Happy I bought it.

Quality to keep you dry

I love this tarp. It has been with me on multiple back pack trips. It packs down into a bag about the size of two large fists which is amazing considering the actual size of the tarp. I use it as the primary shelter to my double parachute hammock and it works fantastically. The loops of the tarp are all in the right places for when it needs to be staked or tied down. Anytime I am under it I have never gotten wet. Not once. It has handle being tied to large dying trees, in strong winds, with thick sharp branches and has not been punctured at all. Since I purchased this tarp I have not, nor will I, go on any camping or back packing without it.

It worked great!

Big and light weight. We carried this on 51 mile hike on the AT. 9 of us slept under it, set up only with a rope down the center, and 4 corners to the ground. It worked great! 9 of us slept in our sleeping bags shoulder to shoulder and had plenty of room. It was easy to fold and fit back in the carrying bag.

I wish it was a little larger

I bought this tarp to use as a make-shift rain fly for my REI BugHut 2 tent. It works but I'd like it a little larger to provide more protection against the rain. I may use it as a rainfly for a hammock and look into getting the next size up.
