5 Stars Terrific Tarp
Great design&liteweight make this tarp perfect for solo trekkers who need a sturdy&lrg sq ft. The Nite Ize cord clips work great,I even bought an extra set.Just be sure to always keep the tarp well secured to prevent leaks from pooled water,and exessive flapping which can lead to damage and a wet nite in the wilds!
4 Stars Nice tarp for ultralight backpackers; Not so spacious, though
Got this tarp for my 30th birthday and took it out the next weekend to use for an overnighter on the Uwharrie Trail. For a single person overnight, this tarp is awesome. With four stakes, four guy ropes, and no poles, this thing weighs next to nothing and fits anywhere in or on my backpack. I didn’t set it up as pictured; instead, I staked three corners to the ground to form a triangle, and used my trek pole to hold up the fourth corner. This worked well because I oriented the sides staked to the ground so that the open end was out of the wind. There are numerous guy points all over the tarp. Since I had only used one rope for the initial setup, I attached two more along the middle axis of the tarp and then tied them to a tree to give me a little more space inside.
A word to the wise, though: Kelty has some illustrations showing how you can fit a BUNCH of people under this tarp. I tried setting the tarp up several different ways in my back yard, and I think that more than two people might feel a little crowded with any configuration.
