FREE SOLDIER Camping Tarp Waterproof Portable Multifunctional Outdoor Camping Traveling Awning Backpacking Shelter Rain Tarp (Brown 10×13ft)

Very well made with tons of tie-down points. Material feels adequately thick without being heavy. Questionable about being totally waterproof because none of these tarps rarely are waterproof. Will edit the review if I find it leaks. Stakes are very lightweight but seem sturdy enough but rough pounding will bend them if you're not careful. Only included 4 but there should be at least 6 included. Paracord and stuff sack are a nice added touch. Good that the tie-down points are reinforced.

Best hiking tarp I’ve ever purchased. The material, craftsmanship, and functionality make this a winner. Can be used as a tent, a ground cloth, or rain fly for backpacking, camping, or just having an event that needs a sunshade.

I purchased this for bush craft and for tarping over my tent or hammock. I have also purchased the Gold Armor and have been pleased. Simply if you spend more money to get this free soldier you get a better quality tarp. I use this one for myself and purchased a few others for my scouts from Gold Armor. I recommend the Free Soldier if you need something more rugged

I never left home without and used a tarp shelter made from silnylon for 10 years in the backcountry and alpine of Alaska. They are more versatile, lighter and small in a pack than a tent but albeit not as good as a full tent in a blow setup as advertised. I used mine to cover a bolt hole in the snow, or a trench, snow pit cook shelter, even to wrap around us in the rain resting. The one I carried for over 10 years was made from silnylon and weighed 1 pound and the same size as the Free Soldier with a stuff ask half the size. I was looking to replace my old silnylon shelter and found this one, the price was not bad. Its quite heavy duty / heavy fabric with lots of webbing for versatility in use but all these do add weight and require a larger stuff sack. But for the price, hard to beat for the use. Rain good to go, snow good to go, wind is another story. The edges have to be staked tight and secured of the wind will blow under the edges creating a parachute and chilling inside I have shoveled snow around the edges, rocks, limbs to secure down the edges in a wind. Another option is to clip to a high point like a tree limb, ice screw, piton, cam, etc. with a carabiner that allows it to hang, get inside, sit of the edges, good shelter out of the weather. Or use a ski / trekking pole to apex the tent. My one compliant, not enough stakes. I bought 2 more; the 4 supplied to stake out the 4 corners, but requires another stake to secure the entry flap / door on its self to seal it up, 2 are better to cross the fabric so its tighter. Of course, rocks, snow blocks and such can be used for the same thing its just in my opinion, 6 should be included. Along with P cord and slider locks. The slider locks on the P cord work, they slide with ease yet lock up tight. Close friends, this will hold 3 and even 4 for very close friends. Well worth the price.

I took the photo to show the physical size difference between a low cost but adequate 10x10 tarp, that leaks through the center seam. The Free Soldier tarp (10x13) is made of a heavier but a much more durable fabric. The seams are taped and the corner and all other attachment points are solidly sewed on. The tarp comes with 4 long cords and 4 slip line gizmos to tighten up the guy lines. I am looking forward to the additional 3 feet of coverage this tarp provides over my existing tarp (10×10). I especially like the more natural brown color that is less visible in the wild. I purchased this for better coverage for hammock camping. EDIT: 5/23/2025 I set up the new tarp over the weekend. The fabric appears to be very durable and definitely waterproof with a taped center seam for waterproofing. The corner tabs seemed sufficient with plenty of tie offs for extra support. No crinkle sounds if windy. Brown color blends in with nature.

Excellent investment for hammock ( if allowed where your doing this ) even my wheelchair comfortably fit under it with me. 🤔 Can connect to the tree stamps. Used in the rain , impressed . 🤔Compact, vertical, even for shade on a hot day

This FREE SOLDIER waterproof tarp has been an essential part of my camping gear. The multifunctional design means I can set it up as a rain shelter, sun shade, ground cover, or windbreak depending on what I need. The versatility alone makes it worth having. The waterproof coating actually works—I've been through some serious downpours and stayed completely dry underneath. No leaking or seeping even in heavy rain. The material is tough and durable, holding up well to rough use and being staked out in windy conditions. The size is generous enough to provide real coverage but packs down compact enough for easy transport. The reinforced grommets are solid and haven't shown any signs of tearing out, even with tension from guy lines in wind. Setup is quick and straightforward with multiple configuration options. The portability is excellent—it folds up small and doesn't add much weight to my gear. Perfect for camping, hiking, or keeping in the vehicle for emergency use. Whether you're setting up a cooking area, creating shelter, or just need reliable weather protection, this tarp delivers. Quality construction that actually performs in real outdoor conditions. Highly recommend for any outdoor enthusiast!

Tarp looks really sturdy and does not seem to weigh much. I got the 10x13 and i am still waiting for the 13x13 tarp to arrive. These are gonna be cool awnings for the Vermont XLP I am picking up .The price was really good as the ones that i was looking at were almost 200 for the same size as my large one. I got both the biggest ones they had for about 80 dollars. Will buy again. Also have the Green Elephant poles , pretty cool.

デイキャンプでひとまず使ってみました。 釣り輪の補強が、あまり強くない事は、レビューで知っていたので、 あまりストレスがかからないように、別ロープを張って、そこに吊り下げる形にしました。 ループはたくさんついているので、いろいろトランスフォームして遊べます。 この日も、前半は日除け的に使い、午後から雨がぱらついてきたので、普通に三角屋根にして運用しました。 生地はそこそこ厚めで、畳むと、そこそこずっしりです。 おまけの細引きとペグが4つ付いてきますが、自分で中央メインループに4ミリ細引き、端部各所に3ミリ細引きを自在金具とともに、長めに取り付けてます。 ヒモだらけになっても、袋に綺麗に収まるよう、袋がゆとりを持って作られているのであんしんです。

Excelente llegó antes. Es mas pesada de lo que esperaba, la tela es gruesa, espero que por ello resulte resistente y duradera. El color es genial, y en general me gustó mucho. La probare pronto.

Es super bueno! Lo usé para campamento, como toldo para la lluvia y funcionó perfecto, se seca rapidísimo y es muy pequeño, comparado con otros toldos, es una gran opción. No tuve lluvia muy fuerte, pero creo que sí la resistiría

結構風の強い川の近くでテントを貼りました。 ポールは付属されてないので、トレッキングポールで代用しました。 付属のペグで固定し、風もある程度通るように張ってみました。 遮光性が十分とは言えませんが何もないより良い感じです。 風が通ると涼しいく、快適に過ごせました。 初の徒歩キャンで使用し、徒歩キャンには活躍しそうです
