Not much in the way of protection. Better protection using a poncho. find a sheltered spot out of the wind. Put on the poncho, sit under the poncho with knees pulled against chest. snap side of poncho together. No need to find trees the right distance, apart or stake out the tarp.

Where I have experienced most of my camping and canoing, tarp shelters are inadequate for anything but the "end of the world" type scenarios. It is black flies, mosquitoes, no seeums, etc. that can drive one crazy, let alone get a good night's sleep and tarp shelters just do nothing to prevent being eaten alive by these pests. I've tried smudge fires, bug sprays, citronella products to no avail, tarp shelters are not to be depended upon for a night's rest.

As a prepper I fully agree with you. Great sun shades and awful shelters. A mesh enclosed tent is critical for insects. The die off in the urban areas and near wilds has convinced people insects are not there anymore. In any end of the world scenario they will be back and in strength. I like in a wild forest area in Canada. Mid May to early August is insect season. I also was at a prepper meeting once before I stopped going as they are not emergency preparedness but psychopathy and it rained hard overnight. Every single tarp shelter was soaked including the sleeping bags. Most tents were as well. I used a ultralight hiking tent. Dry as a bone. You should never need shelter in an emergency while weather forecasts and route planning remains fine!

Tarps can go up pretty quick if everything falls into place OK but many times it doesn't. If you get caught above tree line forget it. No trees and nothing to break the wind which is usually strong up there. I have many tarps, lots of tents and several bivy bags. My money goes on the bivy for emergency situations and fast deployment. Open it up and get in and you are done. Spills the wind very well (even if the wind shifts direction) and gets you off the wet ground too. If you get one with some strategically placed mesh you can keep the bugs out. If it is "reflective" lined you get added warmth from radiant heat. Weight is variable from a few ounces to over 2 pounds for the USGI one. I always carry one on day hikes that put me into remote areas where getting stuck out all night could happen. Thanks.

Walmart has an Outdoor Products 5x7 tarp at 8oz for only $15. You can get 5 for the cost of a single T6zero tarp. Pickup some paracord there and you're good to go for under $20. Personally, I use an Aquaquest Guide series 10x10 for $20 more than the T6zero and at 17.5oz, I have the ability to deploy several different configurations which afford much more weather protection. Best of all it has a lifetime warranty even though I've used mine for 6 years now with no issues.

@@jtrourke667 I actually have one of those tarps in my cheap car kit. In my opinion, the quality isn't even close to the T6zero. Perhaps the price of the T6zero could be a little lower, but it is a quality piece of gear, especially for the weight. 10 x 10 is a great size, as well as 8 x 8 but it's gonna pretty hard to fit one in a haversack of this size along with the other gear I have in it. Don't get me wrong, I love a 10 x 10 tarp, but for the weight and size this is my favorite for emergency. When I'm not intending to camp, but something arises where I have to camp inconveniently.

Nice setup but I would highly recommend to use it only during good weather - maybe as a sunshade, when there is no wind and no rain in sight, or for giving you a bit of privacy in a park or so. Maybe it would be also a piece of a reflector of a wood fire on the other side of you, but due to the dark colour I'm in doubt whether that would work really well. And of course, you can use it on any surface without sharp stones or thorns or so, for example at a beach, as blanket and sit on it. As an emergency shelter, such things are useless if not even deadly traps for those believing in their use. If you set it up under trees as shown here during wind or more or less heavy rains or even worse, thunderstorms, you are at highest risk to be heavily affected if not even killed by falling branches, or you might get hit by lightning. In bad weather, such tarps can only be used as covers and should never be attached to any tree at all. And in such a scenario, a space blanket does it even, at least in colder environments, much better as it also reflects your body heat and keeps you warm, what this tarp is surely not capable of. A space blanket is also lighter and smaller to pack. Just my 2 cents, of course. But after I've got almost killed by falling branches and even whole treetops flying through the air, I know from own personal experience what I'm talking about.

It wont all fit in a gallon can, but it's not 2 gallon sized, either. 3 lbs is nothing and it doesn't take much in the way of bulk or weight to let you handle bugs, 100F, 20F, etc.
