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).

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

  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.

Solid Affordable Duvet Insert Comforter
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is a great affordable all-season duvet insert comforter. There are multiple tie downs to attach to the duvet cover, not just the 4 corners. It is soft and washes well. It's plenty warm in the cold but might be too much during the hotter months. I live in San Diego where the average yearly temperature is at least 70 degrees. During the majority of the year this comforter ended up being too warm for me. I've used it for nearly 2 years but just replaced it with the much thinner Bedsure cooling comforter. If you're a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate, I'd recommend that product. This is still a good comforter, just not for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This comforter is absolutely amazing! It feels like something you'd find in a luxury hotel—soft, lightweight, airy, and incredibly comfortable. It has quickly become one of the best purchases I've made. The quality exceeded my expectations, and it's perfect for staying cozy without feeling too heavy. My kids love it so much that they're constantly trying to steal it from me! If you're looking for a comfortable, high-quality comforter, I highly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed!

Not Bulky, Not Too Warm
Color: White, Size: Twin
This is a great comforter. I have purchased others that were way too bulky. This one is perfect. It is lightweight and seems ideal for warmer temperatures. I am not too hot in the middle of the night. We are heading into Summer but I am sure this will be fine for Summer heat or for Air Conditioners.

Exceptional Comfort and Warmth!
I recently purchased the quilted covers for my king-size bed, and I couldn't be more pleased with the product. This blanket not only fits my wife and me comfortably, but it has also become our go-to choice for exceptionally cold winter nights. What surprised me the most is the incredible warmth provided by such a light blanket. It's one of the lightest blankets I've ever felt, yet it manages to keep us cozy and warm throughout the night. The quality of insulation is truly exceptional. Another highlight of this quilted cover is its ease of maintenance. It's incredibly easy to wash, maintaining its softness and fluffiness after each wash. The softness is akin to lying on a cloud, making it a delightful experience every time we use it. The overall design and craftsmanship of the blanket are top-notch. It's not only functional but also adds a touch of luxury to our bed. The fluffiness and cloud-like softness make it a perfect companion for a good night's sleep. In conclusion, I highly recommend the quilted covers for anyone looking for a combination of comfort, warmth, and ease of care. It has exceeded my expectations in every aspect, and I am more than satisfied with this exceptional product.
