A quality tarp is a must-have on camping trips and backpacking adventures. The Pathfinder Nylon Tarp has all the essential features you'd expect in a dependable waterproof camping tarp.

How to Use Your Waterproof Nylon Tarp
This Pathfinder tarp is a great tarp for backpackers, hardcore campers, and bushcrafters because of its lightweight material and versatile design. The best feature is its water-repellent nylon fabric. Once you set it up with the included rope and stakes, it will keep you and all your gear safe, shaded, and dry from the elements.
You can use it to build an A-frame shelter, a tent, or a camp cover for your hammock and survival materials.
But that's not all: This fundamental piece of survival gear doesn’t just protect you from the rain. It can also catch and carry fresh water for hydration.
Tarps are also useful for concealment. With our nylon tarp, you’ll be able to cover and hide your gear, food, and other materials so that it blends into the surroundings — especially with our Earth Brown Pathfinder Nylon Tarp.
Bottom line: waterproof nylon tarps are a lightweight solution for an easier camping experience, all without giving up a roof or rain shelter. If you want to take your outdoor adventures to the next level, make sure you include our high-quality Pathfinder Nylon Tarp in your pack, along with other Self Reliance Outfitters survival gear essentials.
I was worried that it would be WAY too small, being 7' 8" square...I was greatly surprised when I set it up. There's plenty of room for me, my gear, and my 110 German Shepard Dog! I bought 3 of them...I might buy another. Seems well made and sturdy enough. I wasn't disappointed. I don't think you will be either.
This tarp is solid. I used it as a tarp tent and a hammock in the recent Intermediate Survival class. We also used it to wrap our gear for a water crossing. Held up well and is still kicking. It packs down almost as small as my poncho. Very easy choice to carry this one.
Purchased the tarp/tent for my backpacker/emergency bag I keep in my truck. The tarp quality is excellent and the product exceeded my expectations. Great value as is typical with all Pathfinder products. Thank you.
