For survival purposes I like the idea of a tarp. One reason is that it is very flexible in how it can be deployed, it can be flat, a fly, an “A” frame, a Forester, a Whelen, a lean to, a door, a wrap, or a poncho. A tent can only be a tent really. By using a tarp you can easily adapt it to whatever situation you are in, and whatever your environment. These tarps are square which allows many diagonal configurations and full protection in a smaller size tarp.
NEW Super UL fabric for tarps is 34% lighter, still strong with nylon 6 ripstop. Silicone impregnated both sides.
The tarp is square to allow for all the many diagonal pitch options. Plenty of tie out tabs all around for tie outs. Three sizes the PST, PSTM, and PSTL (large). Includes 5-20 foot hanks 550 cord, 6 sturdy 6" ABS tent stakes, shock cords, multi-purpose stake bag, carry bag of matching material , optional Cordura packcloth bag with MOLLE attachment compatibility.
Price: $149.94
Extra tent stake bags $5.47
