💡 Which Tarp Is Right for You?

  • Choose the Moon Tarp if you want an easy, durable all-rounder for regular use.

  • Choose the Fullmoon Tarp if you camp in bad weather/storms and want maximum tent-like protection.

  • Choose the Lightest Tarp if you hike long distances and need to keep your backpack weight as low as humanly possible.



💡 How the Setup Works

Simply tension the tarp using the included carabiners directly above your hammock (or between two trees). Secure the corners to the ground using the guy lines and stakes. Additional eyelets also allow you to expand your setup using hiking poles or extra ropes.
