Sanctuary SilTarp - Ultralight and Waterproof Ripstop Silnylon Rain Shelter Tarp, Guy Line and Stake Kit - Perfect for Hammocks, Camping and Backpacking

OK, My son's Scout Troop hammock camps. While it has taken me roughly 37 nights of hanging and one year of thinking to dial my gear in, this made have just become my favorite bit of kit (after my underquilt cus that thing is crazy awesome!). Really. I used a Hennessy Hex Tarp all year. It worked well, but It was the 70d version and it was heavey. I was looking for something lighter, but didn't want to spend $150 on it. I ordered a different tarp that was 20d. It was light but it was too small for my new Dutchware Half Zipped. I thought, "Why am I giving up the extra dry space for a hex tarp?" I was not saving much weight. That is when I settled on the 12'x10' flat sheet tarp from Paria.I used it this past weekend in the Pacific Northwest. It was 40f, raining and windy. The wind was ripping at 35 mph with gusts to 55 mph. I did NOT have this tarp in that wind. Nothing short of a building will survive wind like that. Our camp site was very protected from the wind. The rain was another story. Wet had a lot of rain.Under this tarp I had tons of room. I was able to hang it high enough to stand up at the ridge. I pulled the corners down low and stuck my walking sticks up in the middle of the sides to give it more flair and make a larger dry foot print. None of my gear was wet. I kept a ground cloth out that I could walk around on in my socks.I live where it rains a lot. I will pack this tarp every trip. The only bad thing I can say is the tie out lines suck. They are cheap and stiff. I replaced them with dyneema refletex. It is much smoother and more supple. The other cords will look great woven in to some cool paracord project.

I set out to find a 12' x 10' silnylon tarp that weighed less than a pound and wouldn't break the bank. Needed it for a fast and light trip to Shining Rock wilderness in Pisgah NC that promised to be rather rainy, my other tarps seemed either too small or too heavy.When I found this guy on Amazon I thought it was too good to be true. I was wrong! When I received the tarp I threw it straight on the scales and to my surprise I found it to weigh 13.5 oz without stakes and rope! The stakes sent are great although the tie out string is a little hard to untie after being soaked and dried. That is a very minor gripe though, this tarp is fantastic!I set it up over my hammock, pulled one side out a little less than head high and tied off to some nearby trees. It provided enough room for two people to sit in chairs underneath and stay completely dry. Would even fit three in a pinch.I can't say enough positive things about this tarp, I highly recommend it. Neither thunderstorms nor wind could permeate it, I felt as safe sleeping under it as I would in my bed at home. The stitching and seam tape are as good as an ENO and the included line locs make adjusting a breeze.Hope this review helps anyone who may be undecided about purchasing. It's a super piece of gear, you won't be disappointed!

The forecast predicted 100% chance of rain all weekend so I set my new tarp up in the backyard. I was surprised how easy it was to set up fairly taut with only a little tweaking on my first try. After weeks of perusing tarp camping and ultralight backpacking sites I was anticipating it being much harder. I set it up in a high and wide A frame style and left it up all weekend. I used a trekking pole at 52" on on end and a small 18" pole (from my Tarptent) on the end into the prevailing winds. I guyed it out pretty wide and put a tent footprint under it so I could check my results throughout the weekend. The winds weren't high but steady rain all weekend. The foot print, which was 50x84 stayed dry all weekend. I'm stoked now to try it on a trip and not the least concerned that it will rain on me.It was nice to get everything included which allowed me to set it up without having to buy anything else. The line tensioners worked, and kept the tarp very taut, but I found them awkward to adjust. Maybe I just put them on wrong but I'm not a fan of them. I have a couple of packs of line locks left over from another project that I'm going to replace them with. The included line is very thin and light but seems quite adequate to hold the tarp and its great that they're reflective. Customer service contacted me to see if I was pleased with the tarp and offered me some suggestions to set up after when expressed some concerns with the poles I have and they worked fine.All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase.

First the good. This is a solid fly. Used it for 11 days at Philmont Scout Ranch and believe it is a good alternative to The standards 3lb Philmont issue tarp. We had som high winds and set up with trekking poles it took the wind with ease. Additionally the lines on it glow like the blazes making it nearly impossible to trip over in the dark with a little illumination in red or white light.Now the bad. It appears that the stitching was missed along the edge (see photo). I did not catch this when I tested it out just after buying it and only noticed it when using it on the trail. The section in question is only about 6 inches long but I am concerned about longevity with use and to be honest it is just disappointing to see such a potentially great product with a great price miss the mark in manufacturing.Too late to return it so I guess I will use it until it fails then move on.

So far so good. Used once in a wild camp. Tarp seems well made and guy ropes are perfect with little cleats to adjust tension. Looking forward to using it in rain with the mesh tent. Very light and packs small

what a beautiful, strong, light and cool design this tent

Brilliant piece of kit as is everything I have bought from this company, with The added bonus that it doesn't come from China.

Bought this for some camping in the UK. Great little kit that I can fit into my rucksacks waterbottle pocket. Seems durable and kept me very dry.

Used it a couple of times and it was great I also have a para inner one man and two persons which are great
