### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Waterproof
*by G***E on December 3, 2024*

Bought this tarp for backpacking in the Olympic National Forest here in Washington state. It’s a 10x10 and is very sturdy, light weight, and made very well. After 20 plus uses in this wet climate, I can tell you it lives up to its reputation of being the best waterproof tarp in the industry. I will continue to use this tarp for many years to come and will post more photos and videos soon.George A

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy Quality
*by A***T on November 6, 2020*

True ... it's a bit heavier than a light-weight BASHA. That's not a bad thing. This is double layered, larger and made with some seriously 'weapon's grade' durability !Easily, one of be best pieces of equipment I own. Again, it's a bit heavy (by a few ounces) so if you're a hiker and carrying it for miles, opt for a British SAS BASHA instead. If, however, you're a BushCrafter, Rough Camper or dealing with Rain, Snow (as we do in Minnesota), this is wonderful. It's sewn together very well, seam-sealed and there's a better chance of your para-cord breaking that the tie-on's, fabric and stitching on this tarp.It's a bit expensive too ... but you get way more bang-for-the-buck with this than you will with cheaper alternatives. That extra $15-20 is darn worth it._______I don't offer my thoughts on purchases very often or at all. I will simply be honest and let you know that this was not a disappointment. It's held-up through some fairly serious BushCrafting, Canoe Trips (Summer/Winter) and it's still rock-solid.Well worth a look-see. My name is 'Alan' and I approve this message.@Potential Buyers: There are no inside loops along the ridge-line like there are on a British BASHA. You can obviously add your own ... but the ridge-line provided by the maker is sturdy, seam-sealed ... so that might be tough one to do on your own (Seam-seal accordingly).@The Manufacturers: Well done. Maybe add some factory-provided loops on the inside along the ridge-line?Yes ... I would purchase this again ... but the darn thing's built to last a life-time so why ?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, Solid piece of kit
*by S***V on April 15, 2024*

Really well made. Not too heavy. Very water resistant and strong, tons of tie down options. Makes so many situations much more comfortable. From simple shade in the middle of a field. You can get out of the elements effectively with this and really get creative with the shelter and tie downs. Rain, Snow, Sun or Wind, Just a great solution. The camo helps conceal my hammock so I don't draw attention which I really like . Especially if I'm alone. I don't want people seeing my sleeping or camping.
