The Tarp
Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from about 8' at the head to 6' at the foot and is offered in two lengths to better fit your needs. We think this size tarp is the sweet spot for the solo camper.
- Tapered shape uses space efficiently
- Curved ridge and edges provide a taut pitch
- Recycled fabric option
- Silpoly won't sag when the temperature drops
- Lower water retention than silnylon
- Reflective tie-outs
- Great for partnering with your Bug Bivy or our 1P Bug Shelter.
Tie-outs
Perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2). There are hang loops located at each end of the ridge (2), the middle of the ridge (1), and about 14" in on the ridge from each end (2) (18" on the 10' tarp).
There is an additional tie-out on the ridge about 14" in from the narrow end (18" on the 10' tarp) to allow the option to pitch with an improvised rear beak. To make the beak, move the guyline from the rear apex to the shock cord loop on the ridge tie-out. We recommend using a fastline clip (included in the optional rigging kit). Stake out the rear corners so the rear edge is pulled taut between the corners.
Note that the color of the UltraGrid reinforcements may vary from what's shown.
Seam Sealing
You'll need to seam seal the ridgeline of this tarp prior to use as per these instructions (or use our service).

Great investment.
Style: Small Ball, Size: 2 Count
Dogs love them. Durable. Chew worthy for a beagle and a German shepherd. You cannot smell the flavor imparted but the pups definitely can. Always purchase the amount you need so each dog can have one.

Bacon and a Ball? Can life get any better?
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
Come on.. these balls are the best. They smell like bacon, yes, they really do. They are durable and squeak. Upon aggressive play, the squeak will die out but the ball will still be useable.

She LOVES this ball
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Our dog likes toys, but this ball is now her favorite ball. She even took it to bed with her last night. Our dog is 65 pounds, but she likes smaller toys so I ordered the small ball. It’s a good size. It’s nice and soft and squeaks. She seems to kills the squeaker right away, but she didn’t with this ball. It seems to be the least amount of money I’ve spent on a toy for her and it’s her favorite. I ordered another one just to have on hand. This toy is a great bargain!

Not Durable Enough for a Dachshund to be Left Alone With (Updated)
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
I just received these balls today and got one out for my daughter's Dachshund. She loved it for about 15 minutes and then gnawed a huge chunk out of it. It was in the garbage within 20 minutes of receiving it. I'm not even going to give her the other ones. We had an issue once before where she was chewing on her Kong and swallowed some pieces. It messed up her digestion for quite a while. Not taking the chance with these balls. Too bad because they have nice bounce and good squeak. She was thrilled with it until we saw that she ruined it and we quickly took it away from her. If you have a Dachshund or other aggressive chewer, I'd look for something else.
UPDATE - I've bumped up the rating by 2 stars, changed the review title, and ordered another set. We found that we can't leave the dog alone with the ball, but if we use it to play with her, we can monitor when she starts to aggressively gnaw at it. So now, it's more of a fetch ball and we've taught her how to stop gnawing it and drop it for another chase. They still give in to her sharp little teeth more easily than other toys, but she really loves them and gets so excited when we get one out. It's easily her favorite toy, and who doesn't want to see their pup happy?! It's definitely not a chew toy, but it's been great as a fetch ball. If you go into it with that understanding, you and your pup will both be happier with the product.

Our Dogs Are Obsessed. The Squeak Is Intense.
Style: Large Ball, Size: 3 Count, Style: Large Ball, Size: 3 Count
BLUF: Our dogs absolutely love these — the squeak is loud enough that we sometimes have to take them away.
---
Our dogs went crazy for these the moment we opened the pack. They’re durable, super bouncy, and easily became the new favorite toys in the house. The only thing to know is that the squeak is loud — like “I need to take this away for a minute” loud. But honestly, that’s probably why the dogs love them so much. Great value for a 3‑pack and perfect for pups who enjoy a good squeaky toy.
