We have retired this product to focus on our core products. We hope to bring it out of retirement someday.
The Tarp
Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from ~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.
- Taped seams do not require sealing
- DCF fabric won't sag when the temperature drops.
- DCF fabric has very low stretch for great wind shedding.
- Great for partnering with your bivy.
Tie-outs
- Eight perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2).
- Five hang loops are located along the ridge (one at each end and three along the length).
- Each tie-out comes with a loop of UHMWPE cord tied to it. This places wear and tear on the easily replaced loop rather than on the tie-out. It also allows for the easy installation of tensionlocks (not included) using a girth hitch (see "Rigging tab").
Rigging
People have differing preferences when it comes to rigging. For example, some like to use tensioners while others don't. To reduce waste heading to our landfills (from people ditching the [formerly included] rigging in preference of their own), we now offer an optional rigging kit for those who'd like to install our recommended rigging. Please see the rigging tab for instructions on how to install our recommended rigging. If you'd like to take your own approach, feel free to use your own rigging or pick up some components here.
Compatible with:
- Bug Bivy: Y-zip, Chest zip, Ridge zip
- Wind Bivy
- Simple Tub
- Tub-floor
- Bug Canopy
- 1P Bug Shelter
Made in the USA.

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 our 1.8mm UHMWPE core guyline with reflective tracer (0.8oz | 23g)
- 8 Tensionlock guyline tensioners (0.3 oz | 9g)
- 2 Guyline Grommets (0.2 oz | 6g)
Installation:
- Cut your guylines to the lengths shown in the diagram below.
- Install the tensioners at each perimeter tie-out using a girth hitch, as shown below.
- 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. Match the guyline lengths to the proper location as shown in the diagram. 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.

Just ok
These are just simply too large to use as chapstick unless you do both top and bottom at the same time ( no thank you). I threw them away. 3 stars because it appears to be a good product, but they got the packaging all wrong to call it chap stick.

Replaced Vaseline - Far superior product
I received this as a gift a few months ago and it's all I use now. I use it on my lips and on my neck wrinkles.
Do not leave it in a warm environment, like hot car or pants pockets, it will get very soft. If it does get soft, i just dab it on ranther than rolling/wiping on.
Also its best to roll it down when not in use, but not necessary.
I used to be addicted to Vaseline products for my lips and this is far superior in many ways.

Not really good as a lip balm
It is way too melty or liquidy when applying. It's like putting oil on your lips. No staying power. I actually ended using it more as a skin moisturizer like a lotion. It's pretty good for that. I haven't even tried taking it with me in my pocket as I think it'll turn to a liquid like coconut oil down here in sunny hot Florida. .

Best lip balm I have ever used.
By far the best lip balm you will ever buy. When I say I am addicted to Chapstick/lip balm it's an understatement. I don't just have one kind, in one place. I have multiple kinds (you never know what you're feeling or need) in every place! Like my cars chapstick has a chapstick family. I have been trying to pay attention to ingredients lately and realize how many awful chemicals are in most of the products I use. So...here we are, woke up after sleeping with a fan in my face and my lip was dry and cracked straight down the middle. Something so stupid caused so much discomfort I started immediately trying all the different brands, oils, balms, etc. Some burned, some made it worse, some did nothing. Two days of this nonsense and I decided to try this product. It was delivered the next day thank goodness because I was becoming so annoyed with the pain from a small cut. I instantly put the product on and my lip felt so much better. It lasts a very long time so it isn't drying back out and it isn't painful to reapply when needed. It's been less than 24 hours and my lip is almost better. I even slept with the fan on. This balm is amazing, made in the USA, comes in a huge tube unlike the other brands, costs is amazingly low, and it has no nasty smell at all! The only complaint I have would be my concern for my addiction to carry one in my pocket and due to the ingredients it will probably melt some but I will worry about that when I need to. Seriously, this stuff is so amazing I had to write this review. I don't know these people and I sure didn't get it for free. I will be purchasing more from them and sharing what a quality product it is. Just get it.
