How to use

Choose anchor points such as trees, trekking poles or stakes and orient the tarp to provide maximum coverage for sleeping or cooking areas. For hammock use, center the tarp lengthwise above the hammock and tension the ridgeline to create a taut surface that sheds water. When used as a ground cover, spread the tarp flat and stake the corners to reduce movement. Adjust tension at the attachment points to maintain a stable pitch and prevent pooling of water.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tarp fabric and attachment points before each trip. Use appropriate knots or hardware for secure attachment and avoid sharp contact with abrasive surfaces. Allow the tarp to dry fully before storage to prevent mildew. For extended protection in high-wind conditions, combine the tarp with additional guylines or structural supports.
