Is there anyone who uses this tarp or has in the past?

I've used this as a ground dweller. I kind of regret getting rid of it. What do you want to know?

Just curious about the reviews. I have one and haven't had a chance to use it. Mine is the all white one with stuff sack attached.

Mine was half blue and half white. I removed all the webbing and replaced it with linelocs on the tie-out points, lightened right up. You could really get a drum-tight pitch with that tarp without feeling like it was going to rip on you.

I spent a week in the BWCA with a friend that had one of the blue and white ones. We had some brutal storms that week and his tarp rode it out like a champ. I think they are well built.

I have a white, 10 x10. Really nice tarp, and as others have said, you can tighten it up without worry.

I just wish I had a 12 footer, since my new 11 foot Chameleon might be a bit too long for my 10 foot tarp. Don't have the Chameleon yet, so not sure, but I assume it will be barely adequate lengthwise. I really like the tarp, especially the ridgeline with the webbing adjusters that allow you to crank it tight.

I had one and the lines that came with it were really lightweight; i.e. thin. So they tangled a lot. I replaced them with heavier line that didn't tangle so much. I eventually sold it - maybe I had an 8 ft'er and didn't get the coverage I needed. But it appeared well made and very light.
