Free Soldier Waterproof Portable Tarp Multifunctional Outdoor Camping Traveling Awning Backpacking Tarp shelter Rain Tarp

Very well made with tons of tie-down points. Material feels adequately thick without being heavy. Questionable about being totally waterproof because none of these tarps rarely are waterproof. Will edit the review if I find it leaks. Stakes are very lightweight but seem sturdy enough but rough pounding will bend them if you're not careful. Only included 4 but there should be at least 6 included. Paracord and stuff sack are a nice added touch. Good that the tie-down points are reinforced.

QUALITY Material and made. The 13×13 is definitely the choice for having a quick survival shelter. Excellent craftsmanship, great size, compact with a bag. I'm extremely satisfied with this product.

It's an excellent tarp; it withstood rain all night and into the early morning without letting a single drop of water through.

I never left home without and used a tarp shelter made from silnylon for 10 years in the backcountry and alpine of Alaska. They are more versatile, lighter and small in a pack than a tent but albeit not as good as a full tent in a blow setup as advertised. I used mine to cover a bolt hole in the snow, or a trench, snow pit cook shelter, even to wrap around us in the rain resting. The one I carried for over 10 years was made from silnylon and weighed 1 pound and the same size as the Free Soldier with a stuff ask half the size. I was looking to replace my old silnylon shelter and found this one, the price was not bad. Its quite heavy duty / heavy fabric with lots of webbing for versatility in use but all these do add weight and require a larger stuff sack. But for the price, hard to beat for the use. Rain good to go, snow good to go, wind is another story. The edges have to be staked tight and secured of the wind will blow under the edges creating a parachute and chilling inside I have shoveled snow around the edges, rocks, limbs to secure down the edges in a wind. Another option is to clip to a high point like a tree limb, ice screw, piton, cam, etc. with a carabiner that allows it to hang, get inside, sit of the edges, good shelter out of the weather. Or use a ski / trekking pole to apex the tent. My one compliant, not enough stakes. I bought 2 more; the 4 supplied to stake out the 4 corners, but requires another stake to secure the entry flap / door on its self to seal it up, 2 are better to cross the fabric so its tighter. Of course, rocks, snow blocks and such can be used for the same thing its just in my opinion, 6 should be included. Along with P cord and slider locks. The slider locks on the P cord work, they slide with ease yet lock up tight. Close friends, this will hold 3 and even 4 for very close friends. Well worth the price.

So far so good. Works well. Haven't tried it in extreme situations yet. Over-all a Great value. Quality appears to be good. I bought the 13 x 13. It was much bigger than I anticipated.

Love it, love it, love it! Not using for backpacking but great for motorcycle camping. Packs light and small, strong. And for the price...!! Bought the 13'x13'.

This FREE SOLDIER waterproof tarp has been an essential part of my camping gear. The multifunctional design means I can set it up as a rain shelter, sun shade, ground cover, or windbreak depending on what I need. The versatility alone makes it worth having. The waterproof coating actually works—I've been through some serious downpours and stayed completely dry underneath. No leaking or seeping even in heavy rain. The material is tough and durable, holding up well to rough use and being staked out in windy conditions. The size is generous enough to provide real coverage but packs down compact enough for easy transport. The reinforced grommets are solid and haven't shown any signs of tearing out, even with tension from guy lines in wind. Setup is quick and straightforward with multiple configuration options. The portability is excellent—it folds up small and doesn't add much weight to my gear. Perfect for camping, hiking, or keeping in the vehicle for emergency use. Whether you're setting up a cooking area, creating shelter, or just need reliable weather protection, this tarp delivers. Quality construction that actually performs in real outdoor conditions. Highly recommend for any outdoor enthusiast!

I used this for an overnight wilderness search and rescue class. I’d worked perfect. 10x10 size made a great shelter for one person plus gear.
