We have retired this product to focus on our core products. We hope to bring it out of retirement someday.

The Tarp

Not too big, not too small. This tarp tapers in width from ~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.
  • Taped seams do not require sealing
  • DCF fabric won't sag when the temperature drops.
  • DCF fabric has very low stretch for great wind shedding.
  • Great for partnering with your bivy.
Tie-outs
  • Eight perimeter tie-outs are located at each end of the ridge (2), the corners (4), and the midpoints of each side (2).
  • Five hang loops are located along the ridge (one at each end and three along the length).
  • Each tie-out comes with a loop of UHMWPE cord tied to it. This places wear and tear on the easily replaced loop rather than on the tie-out. It also allows for the easy installation of tensionlocks (not included) using a girth hitch (see "Rigging tab").
Rigging

People have differing preferences when it comes to rigging. For example, some like to use tensioners while others don't. To reduce waste heading to our landfills (from people ditching the [formerly included] rigging in preference of their own), we now offer an optional rigging kit for those who'd like to install our recommended rigging. Please see the rigging tab for instructions on how to install our recommended rigging. If you'd like to take your own approach, feel free to use your own rigging or pick up some components here.

Made in the USA.

Rigging

An optional rigging kit is available for those who wish to set up their tarp per our recommendations.


The kit comes with the following items:


Installation:
  1. Cut your guylines to the lengths shown in the diagram below.
  2. Install the tensioners at each perimeter tie-out using a girth hitch, as shown below.
  3. Tie a loop in one end of each guyline. We prefer to use a bowline knot.
  4. Thread the guylines through the tensioners as shown in the photos below. Match the guyline lengths to the proper location as shown in the diagram. For the two guylines that attach to the ridgeline, slip a grommet onto the guyline prior to threading it through the tensioner.
  5. Tie a knot in the untied end of each guyline. We use a simple overhand knot.

Ouch!! Update: Mold inside?
Update: I reduced my three star review to one star due to finding black specs all over lid inside my second jar with some black specks on the top pads. Mold? Mildew? I don't know have mold in my cabinets and I keep this in my top vanity drawer which is on its own wall nowhere near the tub or shower. I was so disgusted I threw out the whole jar plus my third one. I hate to write a bad review on a product that is such a good value and so needed in this market. Maybe it's just a one-off but either way I will not be repurchasing due to the soapy, stinging pads - mold or no mold. My conscience is telling me to warn people. Original review: They sting like there is micellar water in them? Plus soap. They are very sudsy and make you feel like you have to rinse your eyes before they dry out, which defeats the purpose. They do work well to get mascara off but so does soap. Sadly will not replace the old Almay oil-free remover pads which I have used for years. Have not found a good replacement for my dry, sensitive eyes. I will have to use them on other parts of my face but not my eyes.

My last batch has changed - be aware!
I have used these pads for several years now. They are generally very good and do the trick. I don't even look at other products because they are so good. However, in this last order, they no longer have a smooth side and a bumpy side. They always had the different texture which helped in using them. I agree they are a little small which I have gotten used to, but now with both sides being smooth, they are much harder to use to wipe. Plus you don't have the advantage of the texture. This is a dowgrade for sure.

Oil and fragrance free for sensitive skin
Oil free which is good for contact lens wearers. Relatively thick textured material so I can use just one pad for both eyes. Ok for sensitive skin with no fragrance. I've used these for years and the quality has remained consistent despite the reasonable price.

A 5-star product is now barely 2-stars. Shame!
I have used these makeup remover pads for years as I wear contacts and have sensitive skin around my eyes. However, the last 3-pack I ordered (Feb 2026), the pad is noticeably sub-par. They are much thinner, there is no quilted texture on one side, and they roll up immediately when you start to rub your eyes with them. In addition, I have to use 4-5 pads to get everything off vs. previously I could easily just use one on each eye. Obviously I will go through them much faster and every time I use them, I get frustrated by how bad the quality is now. Another product victim to shrinkflation and using cheaper materials, but charging the same amount or more than before. Do they do the job removing the makeup - yes. Do they do so without burning my eyes or leaving an oily residue - yes. But knowing how great they used to be, I can only give the current product 2 stars.

Excellent product!
I have used this product for years but since retired much less. However when I actually needed it again I couldn't find it anywhere and when I did buying just one was pretty expensive. So I decided to wait until the price dropped...but it never happened. I never even thought of trying Amazon but I did and got an amazing deal of a 3 pack at a very reasonable price. The oil is rich, soothing and so emollient and cleans my brows and eye lashes perfectly! I keep one in my fridge which is especially soothing during warm summer days and helps to reduce under eye puffiness. Accolades to Amazon...you never let me down!
