DST Tarp

[ktimm]

The DST is a purpose built diamond fly tarp. It was designed in conjunction with Dick and Yote Robertson and tested extensively by Yote in Alaska and even made a brief appearance in Nat Geo Alaska Ultimate Survival. It is available in our store. If you have any questions please let us know

Whatever happened to the breakaway tarp?

You sound fond ? We have contemplated bringing a modified version back a couple times ,but it seems most prefer the bug out and 3 part , which IMO is more livable and honestly within a couple ounces overall.

We do have something very similar to the breakaway , but zippered and vented that we have done a fair amount of testing on, but aren't sure if we will offer

Yup love my breakaway tarp with annex. The tarp always goes along on hikes with the 6P versashelter. I like the setup of tipe with a tarp attached. On solo's I always use the breakaway with the Annex. It's an oke setup which suits my needs, especially what I like it's a long sleeper which enables to usage of a small stove. Don't know if that's possible in a standard LBO (side sleeper, nest possibly close to a stove) with a basic 3 part annex

Hello from Australia.....

I don't get to see much of your stuff out here. (Is there any in Australia?)

BUT it certainly looks good on the BedrockParadox post!

I have a questions about the DST Tarp.....

Is this thing completely flat when laid out on the ground?

I ask because I am a Hammock user that constantly flirts with a lack of trees and needs a tarp thats good for a continuous ridge line set up and a tree-less ground set up.

Do you have any knowledge of people putting this little chap up over a Hammock?

I have design of my own which would solve my problem (and bring about Peace on Earth) but I am pretty sure you guys are better at building this stuff than I will ever be.

It is flat no cat cut. There are some customers in Australia mostly tipis and packs

So it could work over a Hammock?

It is about 10 by 10 so used as a diamond it will have close to a 14ft ridgline. I don't hammock so I can't really say

Thats really helpful.
I ask because the pitches in the photos all achieve a nice 3 dimensional shape and its hard to see how it would look flat. 14 foot is a long ridgeline but no big deal.
I am very tempted. How do you protect the point where the Trekking pole presses against the fabric?

There is a reinforcement fabric in the center
