Kelty Noah's Tarp 9

The Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 is a compact, roll-up tarp shelter suited to camp dining, covering a hammock, or rigging shade at a basecamp — a flexible piece of cover rather than a fully enclosed tent. Poles are required to pitch it, but Kelty Staff Poles are sold separately, so factor that into the total kit before you rely on it as your only shelter. It's a lightweight roll-up design that packs down small, making it a reasonable add-on for group camping or as backup shade and rain cover rather than a primary sleeping shelter.
