In this Survival Dispatch video, I test and review the DD Hammocks Superlight Tarp S (2.8m x 1.5m). This ultralight, compact “half-shelter” surprised me with its durability, 19 guy-out points, and how much coverage it offers compared to a standard military poncho.
I walk through everything that comes in the kit — including the 4 pegs and cordage — and then set it up in two practical configurations. I also talk about my upcoming Bandana Survival Challenge in the Cohutta Wilderness, and why Mike Simmons gifted me this tarp for the trip. Simply put… I don’t fit under a poncho very well, but this tarp gives me the coverage I need without adding weight or bulk.
If you’re looking for an ultralight, small-footprint shelter you can trust in real-world conditions, the DD Superlight Tarp S is worth a serious look.
