BULWARK

First off I would like to say that this product really did exceed my expectations. I took this hammock camping and every weekend I have gone, the temp has been down into the 40s and the wind has been around 15mph to 20mph. It perfectly blocks wind and does not allow for much of a flow to come through. Due to its multiple tie points, you are able to configure this into many different shelter types ranging from A-frames to Diamond pitch’s, to a frames with walls on either end. Me and my buddy decided to see just how much room is truly under there. Were configured it to be snug to the ground and pitched out and we had plenty of room stacked in between just two trees. We then found two trees that had a Y crock in them. We set our hammocks up side by side and raised the tarp about 1.5ft off the ground and we had plenty of room to move around. The stuff sack is a real good quality ripstop material and yes it does fit inside of a small backpack. It comes with a generous amount of paracord and super nice stakes to pitch it down with. The quality of the tarp itself is phenomenal. The the tie down points all have a very supportive extra fabric on them and the stitching is done in a cross lock stictch which will never pull out. The ridge line points are ridiculously strong and have stood up to winds in the 20’s. At first I was skeptical because it seemed so thin, but after a branch about 3 foot long and 5 inches wide broke off in the wind at the very top of the tree, my tarp held up like a champ. Even in the spot that the branch hit, it has not leaked or shown any sign of damage. All in all, this tarp is wayyyy better than any competition out there. My buddy has spent around $150 USD for a tarp that has nearly 64 square feet less than this one. I am more than proud of this product and I wish that I could even be sponsored by them because of how impressed I am with this product. Get this tarp. You will seriously not regret it. Side note: I did not have to seam seal or do any extra modifications to make it perfect. Also, the ridge line toggles can only go up top, becuse if you flip it inside out the friction is bad for the ripstop (this goes for any ripstop style tarp, ENO and grand Trunk included)

I bought this tarp for poor weather while hammock camping. I took it out last weekend and it performed great. Gave me plenty of room for my hammock, a small side table and a folding chair (see pic). I had plenty of space to move around and didn’t feel completely confined to my hammock. As the rain poured down, I noticed at the far end of the tarp some dripping. I wasn’t sure if it was due to rain running down my suspension or ridgeline, but it was not dripping onto me or my gear, so I let it be until I could examine it under better conditions. The next morning, upon further inspection, I noticed a manufacturing defect with the seam tape (see photos). It wasn’t a trip ruining situation, but if that defect was in the middle of the tarp, I would’ve been in some trouble. I’m going to contact the seller to see what my options are as I’d like to either have the tarp replaced or fixed. This is the ONLY reason this tarp wasn’t rated 5 stars. I love it. It’s a beast. It will definitely keep me and my gear completely dry no matter what is happening. There’s a lot of tie out points to allow several different configurations to adjust to any situation you run into. Plenty of guy lines provided, and the ground stakes never moved despite the rainy and muddy conditions. It is on the heavy side, but the extra weight is worth knowing that I’ll be completely dry and have ample space to still enjoy my trip during poor weather. If the seller works out the defect, I’m coming back and changing this review to 5 Stars. Update: Phenomenal customer service!! I contacted Onetigris regarding the defects and received a response within 2 business days. I was referred to their Amazon Team and I was bit worried because I was outside the Amazon return window, but that was not the case. After a quick email confirming my address, I was told I would receive a new tarp in the mail, and they gave me instruction to repair my original tarp. 3 days later my package arrived. I now have two high quality tarps at my disposal. Thank you so much Onetigris! You have a loyal customer now! And as promised, my review has changed to 5 stars.

Got this out camping about a week after I got it. Took it the hills and set it up. Started raining later that day, and it remained water proff through the whole downpour. Not a heavy material, more lightweight. Wouldn't use this is high wind, or snow conditions, but rain, and light wind would be fine. Good purchase and bang for the buck.

Used for a week in the Boundary waters. Blocked wind for one day behind our canoe table and blocked rain for the next over my hammock. Perfect size, too. Drawbacks: it will never fit back in the bag it came in :-( The side cords are almost too long and they seem like cheap paracord that binds up really easy. I used my own paracord for the center line though. Nice set of loops across the middle for that. The hardest part about setting up the tarp is untangling the cords. And the stakes are ok, but north wood rocks bend them without too much trouble.

Well constructed tarp with multiple tie out points for a variety of setups, to suit the weather and wind direction. I use it with a snugpak tent to keep heavy weather off the door to the vestibule, gives me a great place to sit when its raining where I can enjoy the rain and not get drowned. It allowsme enjoy my coffee, get some fresh air and remain dry at the same time. The tie out points allow for easy and quick modifications when the wind changes direction. A great, functional tarp that is stromg without weighing a ton.

Love it! I used the Bulwark with my OneTigris Compound and Hideout underquilt on a 3 day snowshoeing trip in the Nicolet National Forest with my son last month. We had about 16" snow and temps in the single digits F, winds about 10mph. The Bulwark is a little bigger than a standard backpacking tarp, so it was big enough to box in my hammock and gear for total wind chill protection without over-cramping the interior. The color is great, too. If you prefer not to stand out in the woods like we do, this guy is nearly invisible inside the tree line. Mods: I did sew in tie-out points on the center of each half to pull the walls out away from my hammock. This made a BIG improvement on the space inside. It comes with a cool little storage sack, but you probably won't like trying to get the tarp back in there... it's very tight. So I fold it down small as I can and wrap it with a little nylon webbing buckle strap and use the sack for camp tools. Also very durable....Since using this on a few other trips, I would absolutely recommend.

This tarp is perfect for my camping needs. It’s small compression size and weight fits perfectly in my pack. Took it along on a three day backpacking adventure and it was perfect. Huge in size, with lots of tie-out points. Had one day of steady rain and it performed perfectly, keeping everything dry. Like the OneTigris slogan says, start with good gear. This is a must have for your pack. Very well satisfied on the quality and construction of this tarp, and the price…

Light weight and great quality
