Apex Camping Shelter 2.0

The Apex Camping Shelter 2.0 is a versatile, high quality weather shelter that will protect you and your gear from rain, wind, sun, and even snow! This tarp is excellent for hammock camping, but it's also makes a great all-purpose camping tarp, or shade canopy, even when you're not using a hammock!

It's not just for hammock camping!

This 11' long tarp is great for hammock camping, tarp camping and as an all-purpose camping tarp or shade canopy. 

It’s portable and lightweight! It can be set up in countless modes to adapt to many scenarios and weather conditions. You can use readily available tarp poles or found sticks to set up a freestanding shelter almost anywhere. 

We released the original Apex in 2016 and it was one of our best selling products. We’ve made some major improvements to it while keeping all the features that made it so popular and highly rated.

 Optional Tarp Door Kit

 

The optional Tarp Door Kit comes with 2 sets of doors that can help block wind and rain as well as provide privacy at both ends of the tarp.

Improvements to Version 2.0

 

Extra Waterproof Coating

The Apex is made from our proven and time tested, high strength 70d polyester fabric with a durable polyurethane coating. For version 2.0 we’ve added an ultralight, waterproof coating to the top side of the tarp for even more protection than the original version. The new coating makes water bead up and shed off of the tarp. It absorbs less moisture than the original, and it dries super fast.



Upgraded Rapid Deployment Bag



Version 2.0 includes a free Rapid Deployment Bag that has two openings so it deploys fast like a parachute! It packs up quick and easy. This is a major improvement over the original version, that included a smaller, standard stuff sack.

The Rapid Deployment Bag is designed to stay on one end of the tarp when you set it up. It has two openings so you can connect one end to a tree or a ridgeline and pull the tarp out from the other end. The stuff sack is oversized so packing up the tarp is a breeze.


Stronger Construction

Version 2.0 features extra reinforcements at the 20 tie out loops, to ensure that it will serve you well for years to come. The ridgeline seam has professionally installed waterproof seam tape. There is no need for you to waste your time and money with messy seam sealers that are required with many other tarps.

Countless Configurations

With 20 tie out loops you’ll have the freedom to get creative with setting up your shelter. With so many modes to choose from, you can quickly adapt it to the environment and to changing weather conditions. The Apex can be pitched many different ways.

Here are some of the modes possible with the Apex Camping Shelter 2.0

Storm Mode

The Apex is set up low and the corners are staked down tight to block rain and wind.


 Porch Mode:

For this popular one or both sides of the tarp are propped up with trekking poles or found sticks. This mode provides a view, headroom and a dry living area. It can be quickly converted to storm mode if the weather changes

 

Single Pole Porch Mode


Similar to porch mode but only one pole is used at the center tie out loop. This mode gives extra space to move around, has better view than storm mode, protects you from rain and only requires one stick to set it up. This configuration can also be quickly converted to storm mode.

 

Convertible Mode

 This mode can be used with many of the other other modes. Just remove the stakes from one side of the tarp, flip it over the other slide and tie off the corners. This mode gives you a great view and ventilation but you can quickly convert it to storm mode, if rain rolls in.


Shade Canopy and Rain Shelter Modes: 

The Apex Camping Shelter makes a great portable and compact shade canopy or rain shelter that you can take anywhere. You can use readily available tarp poles or found sticks to set up these modes even when there are no trees available.


Offset Mode

You can use any of the tie-out loops on the ends of the tarp to set it up off center to block wind. The many tie-off loops at the ends make the Apex extremely versatile.

 A-frame Tarp Camping Mode

Found sticks or trekking poles are used to set up a freestanding shelter. The 11’ length provides lots of covered space. You can add found sticks to or use long guy lines to raise sections of the tarp to create more ventilation, a better view and more dry living area on rainy days.

 

Single Pole Tarp Camping Mode

 This mode requires only one pole to set up a freestanding shelter quickly and easily. This mode blocks wind from three directions.

 Cave Mode

To set up this mode, tie one end of the tarp ridgeline as high as you can reach on a tree. Next, stake out two corners on the tree end of the tarp and then the corners and center on the other end

Storm Mode with Partially Closed End

 

The end tie-out points allow the tarp to be partially closed to add extra weather protection at the ends of the hammock.

Storm Mode with Closed Ends

  This hammock camping mode mode can be useful when heavy rain and wind are expected and you really want to hunker down. This shape is more aerodynamic than many other modes which can reduce the wind load on the tarp. For this mode use the center tie-out loops and guy ropes to pull out the tarp. One or both ends of the tarp can be closed by staking down the corner tie-outs together at the ends of the tarp.

What’s included?

The Apex Camping Shelter 2.0 includes six stakes, two 15' guy ropes with tensioners, six 8' guy ropes with tensioners, a storage bag for the stakes and ropes  and a water resistant Rapid Deployment Bag.

 Optional Tarp Door Kit

[Tarp Door Kit Video coming soon]

Our Tarp Door Kit includes two sets of tarp doors, one set for each end of the Apex. The door kit is designed to increase protection from wind and rain blowing in from the ends of the tarp and to provide privacy.




Each door kit includes two tarp doors, each with seven line-loc  tensioners & side release buckles, two 10' shock cords, four 4' shock cords plus four stakes and ropes. Each line-loc has a side release buckle that makes setting up and opening and closing the doors a breeze.



After the initial set up, the door kits can be set up fast by connecting the side release buckles.

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat. That being said. This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do! However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning." this book. this book! i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic. the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream. rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing. first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had. ›› enemies to lovers ›› fated mates ›› one bed ›› the chosen one ›› elemental magic ›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!! ›› badass female lead ›› morally-grey love interest ›› fae/human war ›› force proximity ›› touch her and die ›› who did this to you? ›› captor/captive ›› praise k!nk (panting profusely) “you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.” it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release! every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year! also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire. this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it. thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3 "something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
