Truth be told I could have bought a better tarp for my application of canopy for my camping kitchen, but as a nudist I couldn't resist the brand name! "Bear Butt" ;)I'm sure it would work perfectly for a rain fly over the hammock it was purpose built for.

I just purchased this rain fly to use with my current camping hammock and we just got back from our first trip. I was really impressed with how it worked. It packs into a small size without having to refold and reroll it - this was more compact than my last one.Setting it up was very simple and the stakes provided were great quality. It was pretty windy the first afternoon and they did not budge. That night we got rain for a good part of the night with not a single leak even along the stitching.When set up the size was perfect to keep me dry.I camp regularly and dedicated to hammock camping. I’d definitely recommend this one.

I went hammock camping for the first time ever recently and ordered this rain fly for my inaugural trip. I had watched the videos and read the descriptions and felt I had a good handle on what to do. Sure enough when I went to set everything up, it was as easy as described in the videos. Simple, quick, and effective. I stayed dry (no rain, but kept the bird crap off me), and had just enough cover for sleeping/changing. As this was my first camping trip on a motorcycle, the packed size of the hammock was important. Nice and small, and all the hammock pieces fit in a saddlebag with room to spare. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this fly. Thanks #BearButtTeam !

I ordered this tarp for a friend of mine putting together a hammock camping setup from scratch. The price was fantastic and with that in mind, this tarp is an incredible value with a few draw backs. I bought the gray and orange version which looks really nice and is easy to match other products to. It came with all the line needed as well as 2 stakes to tie it down. They are not pictured because I bought my own paracord before realizing it was included. If you are curious about starting to hammock camp and don’t want to invest a lot of money right now, this is a great way to start.Here’s what I like. This tarp was put to the use when a 4:30AM rain storm rolled in during our camping trip. It was a decent rain and my buddy stayed completely dry. It did its job and it did it perfectly. The seems didn’t seem to leak at all and the water just rolled right off.Here’s what I don’t like. This tarp can only be used in one layout (the diamond setup pictured). There are no extra grommets or tie offs to arrange this differently (I personally like an A frame configuration). The material is pretty thin which is great for back packing and its small pack size however I’m not positive how durable its going to be long term. My personal tarp is a Kelty Noah 12’ Tarp so that’s what I am comparing this to. My last criticism is that I would like it to be a little bigger. This is great for starting out but my personal preference is a little bigger.Final Thoughts: I would 100% recommend this product. It looks great and is easy to setup and pack away. My criticism doesn’t mean I don’t like the product, it’s just my opinion on what I would prefer.

Just used one for a 6 day camping trip in the Adirondacks. Its rained 3 of the days and I stayed bone dry. The gap between trees was the barely longer than my ENO hammock so using this the "proper" way it was actually too long just for that specific application. I spun it 90° and ran the shorter span over my hammock and it was about 4 inches longer on each end than my hammock. I stayed bone dry in fairly heavy rain so I imagine if it was oriented the proper way it would be even better.The edge of the fly has reflective silver material all the way around and the paracord provided has reflective material woven in. Made finding my stuff in the dark easier.Awesome product and at awesome price. I'm tempted to buy a second just to have for when this one kicks it but it seems nice and durable so that probably wont be for some time.

Went camping with the scouts on a 15 mile trek into the Appalachian mountains. I sleep better in a hammock, but usually do dump camping and have a big heavy tarp covering me-which would have been impracticable to carry.So I tried this out. And it got a pretty big test the first night- we ended up in a severe thunderstorm. 40-50 mile per hour winds with at least 3 inches of rain a short period of time. I have to be honest- I was surprised that I stayed bone dry. I was probably the driest guy out of the 12 of us. The only other guy who had a hammock had his tarp fail and ended up as wet as he could have gotten. Tarp didn't tear or rip or look any worse for the wear.I know that the way they have the tarp set up in the picture doesn't look like the best way (I've always set up a tarp where the bottom is parallel to the ground) but I did it like they show here. And I'm sold on setting it up like this from now on.

So let me just start by saying that I bout this about a month ago but haven't had a chance to use it on the trail yet. However I will say that I have gotten a great first impression from this fly. The materials seem to be high quality, I haven't seen a fly out there that is this light, this cheap, and this well made! definitely looking forward to more from this company. I will be making a trip our west later this summer and will be testing it then if not soonerSo update, I was able to test this out unexpectedly this week. I was laying in my hammock in my backyard and noticed a storm heading my way so I decided to grab my rain fly and test it out before my trip to the Tetons later this summer. I only had a few minutes to set it up and consequently had quite a bit of slack in the ridge line. Despite this, I still stayed perfectly dry and was quite thrilled with this Fly. I live on a hill and while this storm only lasted about 30 minutes, the wind was very very strong and I was surprised how well it worked. If I had actually been on the trail i definitely would've needed my backpack covered as some rain did go hit the ground under me. If I was able to set the Fly with one sit facing the storm this may not have been an issue but i did not have the option to do so. Regardless i stayed dry and my hammock stayed dry so I am very pleased and will definitely take this out West.
