does the tarp has doors? can you close it?

[HammocksRule]

Sorry, no, it is just a 3M square. Tarps by their nature are not closable. There are ways of hanging a tarp to give the effect of a tent but it has no doors!

Tarps got no doors.OMG im livin like a bum :-D

Nices vids, sir!

I use this tarp and set it up with doors at one end. I face the doors INTO the wind as close to the supporting tree as possible so it can act as a wind block. It isn't long enough to set up doors at both ends when I use my hammock.

I find if you orientate the shelter with the seam running along the walls rather than along the ridgeline, you can use the extra loop as side guy tie-outs and give yourself some extra living space.

Thanks for such a clear, detailed review. Now I really want such a tarp! Cheers.

good point! might just have a go at putting that together in the near future.

This rig is too heavy. Go with a WarBonnet Traveler and a MacCat standard or deluxe Tarp from OES. Mount Laurel cuben fiber tarps are lighter yet and bomb proof. Good review, though.
