FlashGeiger I generally untie each time because I carry cordage in my pack and always have to use different lengths but certainly useful for that. Thanks for the tip.
About one third bigger. The Aussie one is fitted with click studs on both sides so two digs can share a shelter or they can be be used for a field CP cover.
It looks like a nice tarp, but it is heavy for a 10x13. My Snugpak All Weather Shelter (10x10) weighs half as much with tent stakes and a little paracord. I could carry two of those, snap the ends together to make a 10x20, and still carry less weight. Also, I would keep my shelter low to the ground in a rain storm in case the storm brought strong winds. Good video though!
I love when you put in the bloopers at the end haha. Seems like an good tarp, not a fan of the colour design, if they offered it in a solid OD or even a bright yellow/orange I might pick one up. Cheers.
I was thinking about the weight of the 2 tarps while adding in my head the weight of the other gear to load up for a 2 - 3 day weekend camp outting. Bigger sounds better 2me. How do you go about figuring out the weight limit of your pack? Is there a body weight percentage equation? Sorry if I come off as a newbie, I am.
edward ford testing what you are comfortable with is the key. I'd say for a day pack or overnight 25lbs or so with water/food is good. More for longer hikes but with longer hikes you will most likely have a backpacking style pack with a frame and good hip support and then go to 40-50lbs.
Thank You very much.I just bought a Maxpedition Falcon 2 for edc but would like to get a Frost like the one you have. Many people say that you should save your money and just get an Army surplus Alice pack. Have you done a video on your pack?
I'll wait, no problem. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into what you're doing. Most people don't realize how much work goes into making quality videos. thx.
Nice job with the outtakes a king camo carp? How do they taste lol. Looks like a solid build though I liked your setup. Thanks for the review, what's the price? Oh I had to laugh at the title "waterproof" tarp seems like an oxymoron it's like saying waterproof umbrella or transportable car hehe
Living Survival Nice review. That's a steep price but folks need to be aware of cheap knockoffs on ebay. They look nice and are priced way low but are trash for cash. This tarp is even better than unissued mil tarps.
+snakemonkey555 the two sizes of camo tarps they have are heavier duty 75d and I consider those when I need something strong or a ground mat configuration to sleep on. For hammock camping or something lighterweight their guide series works well. kelty, snugpak, eno, hennessy all make great flys for hammock camping as well. for a ground mat for a tent I just use a cheap $5 harbor freight utility tarp.
Tried to contact by phone to buy a tarp,but they wont answer or return call . Maybe I have wrong phone # from the sight can you help me out thanks. Good reveiw.
Great review on a awesome tarp ! good to see because i got a king camo for my birthday and haven't had it out to play around with yet ! i am going to love it thanks for the vid Ben atb john
Nice tarp , I'm researching all the tarps to find one I like the best. That looks nice and sturdy , but I might want to go a little lighter at that size. Thanks , subbed
WOW, nice tarp, and a great price. You think you could fit two adults and two kids under it in an emergency? I think it would be nice to carry just one tarp for everyone, and free up space and weight in other packs.
uk here, looks like a nice camo tarp. thinking of getting one. Have a regular dd tarp but looking for camo for stealth. may go with dd again. Hope you are healing well Lilly. atb jB
just came here from "worlds most expensive RV's" and man what a joke.. like taking a hotel camping. why?? anyways i think this stuff here is the real deal and it says a lot about some ones character so good video man.
Living Survival I went ahead and purchased this for an upcoming camping trip. It's on sale, so your code doesn't apply, but that's a nice generous code for non-sale items. Better than most vendors provide. Kudos.
Great review Ben! It's great that you shared some different setup options. We're really proud of the King Kamo Tarp.
Aqua Quest Great stuff, thanks for watching.
Looks like a very well made tarp.
Survival On Purpose yes it sure is
Nice King Kamo Karp! LOL! Looks like you can pretty much have a party underneath that tarp!
They call it the king for a reason, it's a great piece of kit. Hands down the best tarp I've ever owned. Good review my friend.
Chris Stiff for sure. love it.
Wow! Beautifully constructed. Thought of everything and made it strong and waterproof. Thanks for the clear demo.
GizmoBee1702 thanks for watching. heavy duty for sure.
I have similar corners to that on one of my hammock tarps, but they're designed to tuck the lines into when packing up. very useful.
FlashGeiger I generally untie each time because I carry cordage in my pack and always have to use different lengths but certainly useful for that. Thanks for the tip.
Ben that truly is the King if Tarps. Awesome stuff.
UrbanSuburban it is for sure.

+Falling Down nice!

Yeti Harding i will start doing it from now on :)
Man that tarp is huge is there a shot of you having it all packed up I can't remember
+Jim Cyr :)
Thanks for the review! You are really good at doing them. In my opinion you are one of the best.
Keep up with the good work Ben!
+Patrick Sellman thank you patrick.
Those are some seriously nice tarps.
I love my regular AquaQuest Camo Tarp
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors agreed
The Bearded Burton yeah me too!

LOL..well some tarps are not so much. $100 on sale right now from $175.
Living Survival Nice review. That's a steep price but folks need to be aware of cheap knockoffs on ebay. They look nice and are priced way low but are trash for cash. This tarp is even better than unissued mil tarps.
i use a hammock that is 10 ft long without the ropes would it be a suitable tarp for it
StuieStorm05 Yes, especially used diagonally.
ok thanks for the info
Very nice waterproof tarp it looks like something that could find it self a home in my gear :-) thanks for sharing my friend.
Massachusetts Prepper thanks for the comment and checking it out
Made in the great white north? (Canada)
Do you know if there are any sleeves or snake skins that will fit the defender model?
Benjamin Leonard i don't.
There are lighter weight tarps... it's the 70D adds the weight so it depends if you prefer toughness or light weight. I am in tarp buying mode now!
Hawaii Volcano Squad exactly.
Love the video. These are great tarps. I have two of them. Use them for hammocks. Very versatile with all of the tie outs.
Happy New Year Ben!!! Is there another tarp you would recommend or is this Aqua Quest be considered your "Go To" tarp? Thanks! Aaron

Excellent tarp. I just got one. Made in Canada too... you know it going to be good quality.
No. Made in Taiwan. Canadian company, tested in Canada.
How much does it weigh? That and a bicycle sack is all you need in the summer!
*bivy sack
They look hella rugged. Nice!
kbbjedi yeah, i love my first one so this bigger one is great as well.
Tried to contact by phone to buy a tarp,but they wont answer or return call . Maybe I have wrong phone # from the sight can you help me out thanks. Good reveiw.
Manuel Lopez I would email them or try calling again, not sure their customer support is great so maybe wrong# Aqua Quest
Thanks , made contact, with a guy named Mo. And told him I saw his product on your chan. And placed an order thanks again. Manuel

Nice tarp , I'm researching all the tarps to find one I like the best. That looks nice and sturdy , but I might want to go a little lighter at that size. Thanks , subbed
+Bryan Resch check out their sil-nylon tarps. much lighter and still just as great.
Ok , will do. Thanks , hey what do you think about the war bonnet Super fly? Looks quite functional with a tent door style on each end.
Bryan Resch Looks like a nice option. Haven't played with their products but would like to.
WOW, nice tarp, and a great price. You think you could fit two adults and two kids under it in an emergency? I think it would be nice to carry just one tarp for everyone, and free up space and weight in other packs.
wjf213 yes you cold, it's huge

Many thanks
How much and where can I order it
amazon, follow my link.
Never mind I watch the video again
Good review, thanks.
..... it's a tarp, a piece of fabric with tie outs !
It's pretty much a copy of the Australian Army shelter individual.
+Falling Down tarps, bags, water filters, knives, anything really is all based off some sort of original design.
nother fine review sir
***** thank you!
nice video thanks friend
kenneth caloun thanks for watching :)
since you are selling tarps for aqua quest why not ad the price of the tarp!
