Military Ponchos are great for rain gear, but did you know they can be used as poncho shelters or tents? Multi-use gear saves space and lightens your load.
A poncho tarp is a lightweight, minimalist piece of backpacking equipment which acts as rain gear, shelter and pack cover. Over the years I've used poncho tarps for approx. 18,000 miles and 700 nights in total.
I use a fast, adjustable, and secure guyline system to tie-out my shelters. It relies on three easy-to-learn knots; it uses no hardware and costs nothing.

This is it. The original, world-famous, often copied Tentsmith’s tarp. Shelter anywhere, everywhere under your own lovely oilskin tarp. Constructed of the same fabric as our hoods and watchcoats, the oil/wax finished long staple cotton makes a wonderful tarp for a great early feel. The dark tan/brown fabric is 6.25 oz. per square yard. All tarps are finished with loops on all four sides and on the seam. This tarp has one seam and is finished with a center loop. All the loops are heavy duty as they need to stand up to the constant tugging and pulling from the elements. We can add an extra heavy duty reinforcement at the center for those folks that might want to use the tarp as in the diamond set up. Please select it in the choices above. Weight without reinforced loop is 4.2 pounds

I have completed my poncho tent in 1.3 oz/yd2 silnylon. It weighs a mere 185 grams - as you can see, and fits in my pocket - as the name suggests and the pictures show! In Ripstopbytheroll's .77 ozyd2 Mountain silnylon it will weigh 109 grams. This may be the smallest tent in the world

Hilleberg Tarp 10 UL är en ultralätt tarp som ger dig ett skydd mot vädrets makter utan att du behöver stänga in dig. Det finns faktiskt många som föredrar att övernatta utomhus i en Tarp för att de vill känna att de verkligen sover utomhus. Hur mycket “utomhus” du väljer att vara är helt upp till dig eftersom valmöjligheterna är många i en Tarp. Egentligen är det bara din fantasi och tillgång till material som sätter gränser. Kombinera din Tarp med Hillebergs Bivanorak och du har ett mycket väl fungerande skydd mot väder och vind med mycket låg vikt. En Tarp kan också ge ditt vanliga tält en ytterligare funktion. Sätt upp en Tarp ovanför tältöppningen och du får en härligt luftig och regnskyddande baldakin, eller slå upp en tarp för att laga mat en bit bort från tältet, perfekt om du i björnrika marker vill slippa påhälsning i sovsäcken av en hungrig nalle.Hillebergs Tarp finns i två storlekar: Tarp 10 och 20 (där siffran står för tarpens yta i m2). Båda modellerna finns i både ultralätt- och mer kraftfull XP variant där den lätta modellen är tillverkad i Kerlon 1200 och den starkare i Kerlon SP. Båda två är tåliga, silikonbelagda lättviktsvävar, Kerlon 1200 är nylon och Kerlon SP är polyester. På alla modeller finns ett flertal ringar och långa staglinor med linsträckare. Dessutom är packpåsen integrerad i själva Tarpen vilket underlättar upp- och nedpackning och eliminerar risken för borttappad packpåse.Skydd mot väder och vind med en mycket låg vikt.Kan användas som baldakin till ditt tältTillverkat i det tåliga materialet "Kerlon"Packpåse integrerad i själva Tarpen.OBS! tarpstänger ingår ej!Yta: 10m2

A beautiful evening gave me the opertunity to try the Golite Poncho Tarp using a pushbike as the main support. I was intrigued to see if this arrangement would give enough headroom and cover. Yes on both counts! I was well impressed. I just need to get an overnight trip planned now.
