short story went gold panning with older inlaws.  One got too hot. Had to cool him down with a wet boonie hat he liked that.  no cell service. He didn't expire

I had put up a cheap Chinese tarp as shade.

I saw the need to get a larger, better tarp, and pay attention to older people's health conditions

I ordered a tarp from Amazon, a Chinook brand 9.6 feet X 12 feet. Yes it is made in China.  Looks like an Canadian company importing it.

it is a lightweight nylon coated to repel rain. I chose the tan color.

it appears to have enough grommets and nylon straps sewed into it to to tie it to lots of things.

it came in a same material bag that I'm going to put 550 cord , drywall screws and a screwdriver.

Don't know if it will hold up.

Does anyone have experience with this brand,  or others??  

Thanks

Damn Am I the ONLY one to buy this tarp???

It looks like it has good reviews and pretty good customer service.

Is this the tarp

I have been looking to get one.  Interested in other peoples thoughts and other suggestions.

That is the one,

Thinking of putting one in each BOV and  maybe a smaller one in the BOB

Heavy for a pack IMHO....but looks good to go for a truck kit.

Meh.

It's just a Chinese tarp, likely cheaper at harbor freight or wallmart

I have one the same size. The loop in the center will let you use it without a center pole. Have used it 5 times, I have 10" ball bungies at the grommet hole to give a little flex in high wind.  Mine is holding up very well.
