A Hiker’s Plan B: An Ultralite Tarp!

When you’re out on the trail, or scrambling off trail…and the weather changes, or your compass misguided you (not due to human error of course!), and you just have your daypack with you…what is one item you’d want to have? A tarp!

The pros over at Brooks Range Mountaineering have developed a line of ultra light weight high tech tarps. They can be used as shelters, wind breaks, gear protectors and more.

The Brooks Range Ultralite Mini Guide Tarp, which I tested, is suitable for 2 people, and it adds a mere 9.4oz of extra weight. Check out all of it’s features in this new gear review: A High Tech Tarp!
