UST Tube Tarp and Camping Shelter, Green
June 11, 2018 - Comment
The versatile, ultra-lightweight UST Tube Tarp can be used as a sleeping tent, an all-weather tarp to protect gear, a ground cloth, and even as thermal protection in emergencies. A hidden zipper transforms the tarp into a tube-shaped, one-person sleeping tent, providing protection from the damp ground below and the elements above.
The flame-retardant tarp’s reverse side is aluminized for wrapping around yourself for thermal insulation and reflectivity for emergency signaling. It sets up in minutes with the included guy lines and steel stakes, and instructions are conveniently located on the exterior of the stuff sack.
The Tube Tarp measures 84 inches in length and weighs 1.75 pounds; when erected as a tent, it measures 39 x 84 x 35 inches (HxWxD). It packs down to 15 x 4 x 4 inches in the included stuff sack. It’s backed by a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.
UST Brands has been manufacturing camping, survival, personal safety, and emergency preparedness equipment for over 80 years, including innovative LED lights, all-weather fire starters, premium outdoor cutting tools, camp kitchen products, first aid kits, unbreakable signal mirrors, and more.

Excellent Value Is What I Like, And It’s What I Got! I purchased this item (I actually bought an open-box warehouse return) a few months ago, and have had several opportunities now to test in some quite rough weather conditions in both the San Gabriel, and Sierra Nevada Mountains during overnight backpacking, and car-camping trips. It has performed flawlessly during several continuous hours of near-torrential rainfall, and even a few hours of heavy early-season snow. Not a leak to be seen yet, but I plan to seam-seal the tarp in the near future,…
Great tarp just wish it was a little bigger. The tarp itself is well made and very light. It packs away very easily and can be strung up in minutes. I used it for the first time as a rain fly over my eno double nest hammock when I canoed down the Suwannee river at the end of February.To make it cover the whole hammock you have to hang it diagonally (it just covers the eno when it is hung tight) but still get good coverage on the sides. It rained on us Saturday night. The tarp stayed waterproof however I did have water run down the guy…
