Arcturus XL Survival Tarp - Insulated Reflective Thermal Camping Tarp - 8.5' x 12' (Desert Tan)

They were great at Burning Man, yes and, unfortunately, they were stolen from the RV repair place..

I have used smaller and similar tarps in the past. I found that spraying lemon pledge on a soft cloth and wiping both sides of the tarp and folding it up keeps the plastic from sticking and increases the longevity of the tarp. This makes it easier to fold and unfold. (This reduces the chance of having the reflective finish sticking to the tarp and reduces flaking of the shiny side of the tarp. this will add more durability and longevity of the tarp.

Bought this to put over the canvas pop out of my Travel trailer. Its first use held up to a pouring rain storm with 30mph wind. Worked great. Used bungees so secure it down. It held the heat inside the trailer. A perk not expected is it darkened the canvas pop up so it allows one to sleep in later in the morning. Fold up and stores well although I wasn't going to get in back onto the zippered envelope it came in. would be nice if that had been bit larger to accommodate after a refold. but definitely worth the value.

Used to replace old leaky rainfly on tent for camp (woodlands.)Huge, unfolds to ground.

This tarp is awesome! Very thick, blocks wind well, and on my camp the other night. I made a very simple shelter with it, I slept comfortably down to 30°F. The flaws of it, however.. there are imperfections throughout where you can see small spots of light. Also, the reflective inner layer i fear, will not last for many trips. It is very plastic-like and will likely tear or wear off.. For the price, I will be a happy customer if it last me through this camping season.

I have a hedge of oleanders that will die in a herd freeze (below 25). I covered 2/3 of the hedge with regular plant tarp, and 1/3 with Arcturus tarp. Almost all of the oleanders under regular tarp died and all of the oleanders under the Arcturus tarp were unharmed. My theory is the foil keeps the earth's heat from escaping radiantly.

Seems kinda flimsy

Fits like it was made to cover the roof of my pop-up camper, keeping off the tree sap and bird poop while providing an insulating layer to cut down the load on the furnace or A/C.
