Comments about Kelty Noah's Tarp - 12' x 12':

There is nothing better than a tarp when you are camping in the rain, and this one is tops. When I set up camp, I like to pitch my tent under a tarp to keep the weather off. I know that sounds redundant if your tent has a rain fly, but I like the extra dry area in front to cook, clean, and just relax and watch the rain come down.

This tarp gives you many different ways to hang it. The design helps keep water from collecting since there are no low places. It is a lot lighter than the ones you get at the hardware store, which is great when backpacking.

Mine came with two shock-corded poles, but I noticed that in the description, poles were listed as "sold separately". Not a problem for me, since I never carry them anyway. Always plenty of trees on which to tie it.

I wouldn't mind if it were a little larger, but that is not the tarp's fault. I will be picking up another one to give me more shelter.

I could not imagine going backpacking without it.

Comments about Kelty Noah's Tarp - 12' x 12':

I mistakenly thought this could be used to block rain water. It shed water just a bit better than a cloth sheet. Since it looked like tent fly material I thought it would shed water. Boy was I diappointed when Everything I had under it got wet. I really can't think of a good use for this thing. I have had other Kelty products and have been very satisfied. This sure in not one of them.

Comments about Kelty Noah's Tarp - 12' x 12':

Tried using the Noah in an open field for shade for 4 days. Rigged it with two tent poles and started with 4 guy lines per the instructions. Sag sag sag. We added a few more guy lines and it really didn't help since we had to pitch in soft dirt/grass. We're thinking it would have worked fantastic if we'd had one of the very few campsites that had a tree or three that could have been one of the stationary supports. We took it down and didn't use it.

I've pitched blue tarps with the same tent poles and various guy line combinations and have not had this kind of trouble. Next time I just won't pitch the Noah like the illustration shows and will only use it if we have trees around us.
