Extremely versatile, it can be strung up as an over head rain cover, or a sun shade, laid out for ground cover, it can line the bottom a canoe to keep backpacks dry, it can cover a stash of gear on the ground to keep the dew off. On one of my favourite canoe trips we were finishing up a lovely dinner and sitting around having drinks and a few laughs. Suddenly dark black clouds rolled in and the sky opened up, a typical prairie summer storm. Instead of breaking up the party and heading for the tents we pulled a big tarp over us, organized the tall people in the middle and the short ones on the outside for proper drainge, pulled the coolers under the cover and spent the rest of the evening continuing the fun under our man made (literally) cabana.
