Quality tarp

[Sclary3]

So I'm sure a bunch of people know this, but for the ones that dont, I started buying those brown/silver tarps from harbor freight. If it's cold I throw it over my tent silver side down, brown side up, it helps hold heat in and when it's hot I flip it and it keeps the heat off your tent, pair with a buddy heater in the winter time, nice and cozy!

Good to know! I need to buy a 12x12 or 12x16 that is heavy duty.

Nice, so it works like an insulation of some sort? What material is it made of?

It works like a space blanket, the silver will repel heat, and the dark brown will absorb it. It works 10x better than the rain fly on a tent

I always try to bring at least two tarps and an actual space blanket
