Name: Escapist Tarp
SKU: 159762

The Escapist Tarp Shelter is a technical but versatile ultralight tarp shelter for minimalist camping adventures. The Escapist has eight super strong hypalon tie-out points that have cord adjusters attached, so you can adjust them while you are under the shelter of the tarp. Tie-outs are die-cut and circular bartacked to hold the tip of a trekking pole for easy setup. These versatile points help the Escapist Tarp achieve a wide variety of setup options and also attach easily to the Escapist Bug Tent, sold separately.

IS THE ESCAPIST TARP...

Suitable for bad weather? It can be. The reinforced corners help to spread a wind load, and the ability to pitch one end of the tarp lower (or right down to the ground) allows use in windy and rainy conditions. Skill and experience are key here.
Compatible with Sea to Summit pyramid mosquito shelters? No – there is no way to secure the apex of these to the tarp. However, the is designed to easily attach to the Escapist to form a perfect ultralight shelter for buggy conditions.
Suitable for bikepacking? Possibly. You can flip over a mountain bike and pitch the apex over one fork stanchion to form a basic shelter (with a low apex height and obscured access to the entrance). It’s certainly an option for minimalists.
