I got this because the unique design hit all my needs, and it worked great. It was a perfect idea to make the inside reflective. I was looking for a better way of using the camp fire heat more efficiently in colder times. I used to use a reflective blanket on the backside of my fire to provide more heat coming inside my shelter. It worked, but I still wanted more if possible. This does it. I took it out the next day I got it. Outside temp was 2 degrees Fahrenheit. I set this tarp up in a plow point with a fire about 4 feet away. Using an outdoor thermometer, it got up to 78. Perfect!

Wanna stay dry? Wanna support a USA made brand?Then look no further Texas bushcraft makes extremely high quality gear that doesn't break the bank. Im in the north east on the foothill of the Appalachian Mtns and when it's wet season I don't worry at all with my gear getting wet or myself when sleeping outside for work. Their is more than enough tarp to cover two people's gear and keep yourself dry. The best thing I'd have to say is how light this product is because ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain in my field. I will buy again if needed.

Love the solid ridge line with multiple tire outs making it very versatile. Weight is appropriate for size and seems to be very waterproof. Made quite a few different shelters with it at our Trail Life Troop event.

This review: totally unpaid.I got this tarp several camping trips ago. I had a 20F sleeping bag, and was still a bit chilly (without the tarp mind you). The night before. The next night, I camped on a ridge top and it snowed. I had the tarp in an open faced triangle configuration, and I was very comfortable. I am guessing that is due to the coating on it. Not sure what all the impact was, but I did have a fire burning nearby (that gradually went out as snow came down). I know the coating on the tarp is supposed to reflect heat so the combo tarp + nearby heat may have done the trick.I have light weight poncho tarps that are 1lb or less, yet I keep gravitating back to this tarp. While it is considerably heavier, at ~2lbs, the large size and the extra warmth feel like a luxury.Would love it if they had some slightly smaller sizes for the more weight conscious campers.

Spent a week living out of this tarp in the desert. Packs up tight and dry bag had room for stakes and a small ground tarp too without being cumbersome. It kept me out of the sun with minimal tie down points, held up during very tough wind. But because of its size it can tend to become a sail. That’s its only reason I don’t say 5 stars, it didn’t play well with changing wind conditions. Kept out hail and severe thunderstorms. Worth the money for sure and plan on seeing what fun we’ll have together. Would buy again

I’m using this as a different purpose than a traditional tarp used over a campsite. I am using it to shield the sun, and I do appreciate the fact that it does insulate while also being a thin barrier that is very portable. At first I was skeptical that I would not really be a fan of the color because online it looked like it was more army green and when I got it, it was a pleasant olive green, and that mattered where I was using it. I think if you’re looking for a lightweight insulated tarp, that is very durable definitely go with this one

Took the tarp on a 7 day trip to use as a rainfly for my hammock had it setup in an A frame formation at night and opened it up on one side during the day . Very rugged a little heavy with good stitching. Temp varried from 80°F to 19°F and had 3 days of rain not storms just some fairly steady rain. Had 0 leaks and no noticeable condinsation buildup stayed nice and taught the whole time it pretty much stretched out the first night and didn't move after. The bag is also high quality tho i dont know if it will go back in the bag without some high quality rolling and folding, mine went in a compression bag with my other shelter items, I just used mine to hold my stuff on a line above my hammock. The reflective layer works i wouldn't compare it to Mylar but it does indeed reflect the heat of a campfire back at you. Its size is good the 10x10 is very useful. I would highly recommend this to anyone after a very solid strong tarp who didn't care as much about the weight.

To start, this tarp/shelter is quite well constructed and not at all too heavy for my needs.It has more than enough anchor points, but more importantly, has 5 ridge line loops (with eyelets) that make this tarp"s versatility so much more usable than other tarps comparably priced, yet lack either enough supports or have none at all. I have added 1" stainless rings to the eyelets at the 4 corners, as well as the ridge line . . . to better facilitate anchoring options, whether that be for using a larger-bodied (sand or snow) ground stake, or carabiners on the ridgeline to allow for a rapid quick-disconnect. I have additional rings at the ready should more stake be required.The "aluminized" reverse side is the kicker, in that if facing out, will reflect that early morning sunlight that heats up my tent, driving me out of a good sleep prematurely. (Yes, I suspend a tarp over my collectable Moss tent(s) so as to prolong the life of those no longer made 4-season beauties.)Would that reflective surface allow increased close quarters campfire heat radiation if facing towards a downwind campfire?Seems pretty reflective, so my guess is that it would, especially if a thin transparent sheeting wall were added over the entirety of the front facing arrangement to trap the heat inside the appropriately configured tarp.All said, this is a durable, well-designed, desirably-sized, high quality tarp with tons of shelter configuration options. Oh yeah, and it's waterproof.
