Trail Bum CT TARP | Square Tarp for Solo Hikers to Enjoy Flexible Setups
A reliable shelter for the trail, combining lightness and freedom.
When hiking long trails, weather and terrain are constantly changing. Trail Bum's "CT TARP" can flexibly adapt to such situations.
Developed through extensive field testing on the Colorado Trail, this model adopts an exquisite size of 200x280cm, easy for solo hikers to handle. It's suitable for tarp camping on its own, as well as for combining with a hammock, allowing for a variety of setup styles depending on the situation.
The fabric used is sil-polyester, which is resistant to stretching caused by UV rays and water absorption. Furthermore, bungee cords are built into all four sides to maintain a comfortable living space while preventing sagging due to environmental changes.

The CT TARP is, I believe, a particularly well-balanced model among lightweight tarps.
Despite its lightness at 320g, it offers a wide variety of setup options, allowing for flexible adaptation to trail conditions and weather. The sil-polyester fabric stretches minimally due to rain or humidity, providing a sense of security even at night or in bad weather.
It's recommended for solo hikers who want to lighten their load as much as possible, as well as for those who enjoy hammock camping. It's a practical tarp, characteristic of Trail Bum, that is simple yet built to last.
