Bought for an expected rainy raft trip on the Tatshenshini. However, that trip we were blessed with hot and sunny days, so sunny we needed shade at our gravel bar camps while working on scenic overload of the sites. That was summers past, for this Covid summer, since Canada is scared of American rafters in their wilderness, we have used on numerous rainy Alaska rivers to enjoy the sites. All good. Really need 2 people to set up. Works great up to about 40 mph winds. Hunker down after that. Numerous configurations. Makes for a great backyard event shelter.

I liked this so much I bought a second one. This sets up using your oars for the poles. I went with a special order dark navy blue. It creates a deeper, cooler shade than the royal blue by about 10°. This shelter paired with a few sand mats is all I take on river trips. The owner Matt is great to work with and takes great care to support his product, even seam sealing my first dragonfly. Now all flys come seam sealed. This is great for shade, wind, and rain. It is my most prized camping possession. I’m so glad I found this.

We love our tarp and use it all over the place, not just the river. The rainfly keeps us dry in the rain and cool in the sun. It’s the first thing that goes up when we pull into camp for the evening. We put it up over the kitchen area to make sure the cooks have shade in the afternoon sun. FYI: In response to the first reviewer, the cam-buckles are supposed to be sewn on in two different directions so you can reach the buttons and release the straps from below. Our straps have no issues and have been staked into the ground and been tied around trees, rocks, and logs (depending on available tie down locations).

Easy set-up tarp, but for almost $700 you would expect something with sealed seams that did not leak, all cam-buckles to be sewn on in the right direction (they got 2 out of 6 backward) and strap material that did not start to rip on first use..
