Trail Haven Tarp

Oversized Trail Haven Tarp

My wife and I made a two pocket hammock. The spreader bars at each end made it a tight fit under any standard tarp I could find. Jared’s custom tarp is the fit I was looking for! Construction appears rock solid, though I’ve only had it up in the back yard, it was up for more than a week straight, and it kept everything under it dry during some heavy rains and withstood some strong-ish winds. It’s light too.

No regerts!

Ordered the custom 13’ tarp XL width with Ridge runner spaced pullouts and received it in time for a 3 day trip I had planned. My RR hammock fits perfectly with room to spare on each end. The extra width is great for storm coverage and a huge space to hang out or cook in porch mode. I had previously made 8.5mm aluminium crossbar poles for the pullouts from another tarp and they worked perfectly after adding a small shock cord loops to the tie outs. It’s a little more weight than just using cordage, but the extra headroom and width is appreciated for my 6’2” height. Stitching was excellent, and after a solid PNW rain storm I confirmed no additional waterproofing was necessary. Awesome sauce. I’ll be using this for all my 3 season hammock trips from now on. Also planning to use this as a big porch for my ground dwelling trips. Can’t recommend this tarp or Simply Light enough! I tell all my hiking friends to check here first for gear.

Another Excellent Tarp

This is my second tarp from Jared. The first one was a 9’ x 7’ Trailduster for ground camping in Xenon. I liked the fabric and construction. I am giving hanging a try so I picked up the Trail Haven in the same fabric. Had it out recently and once again really enjoyed it. It’s just a solid tarp and super lightweight.
