I am very pleased with my purchase.

This tarp seems durable, and well-made. There are many options for each use, as far as tie, outs, and configurations that make it very adaptable to applications in the wilderness. I am an avid backpacker and hammock sleeper. The coverage, for my hammock is excellent as an added bonus, the tie outs are reflective and easy to see walking around the campsite with just a headlamp. No more tripping over guy lines. I have only use the tarp twice, but I am looking forward to many miles down the trail knowing my shelter will keep me protected

No issues. Guy line attached has nice length. Kept us dry through three storms with heavy rain and wind. I used adjustable Kelty Poles.

Awesome tart

Great tarp for anything. We bought this for an upcoming camping trip to Assateague Island. Set this up in some medium wind gust. Performed like a champ. Easy to set up. We went some extension poles and couldn’t be happier. Good value for the money.

Great Tarpon

I took this tarp on a 6 day moose hunt on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. We had high winds, rain and snow, and even some sunshine. It did a great job of protecting our cook station. Not one leak or tearDavid

Large well-constructed tarp

I use this for frontcountry camping with a hammock, picnic table, etc. It does not come with poles of any sort, but it does include stakes. Specifications are as described. Good quality.
