Rating:
Design: twin pyramid tarp shelter
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: super easy
Weight: about 2lbs with ti stakes and tyvek groundcloth
Price Paid: $30

Used this thing on a thru-hike of the AT (with no floor and tyvek groundcloth). It lasted all 2,200 miles and I still use it two years later. Never used another tarp that sheds weather this well.

Wish they were still made, I'd buy another one. Will be replacing it with a Shangrila by Golite.
