Part bug shelter, part tarp. The Bugout does it all.
Be gone bugs!
The Bugout is like a tarp, but it does more than just protect you from the rain and sun. The mesh screen walls roll down to keep the bugs out when needed, and roll up out of the way when not needed. It sets up easily, hanging from two trees like a tarp. This allows you to set it up over uneven ground, and multiple stake-out points allow you to adjust the height.
Use it with your own trekking poles in the corners if you’d like. The Bugout tarp is perfect for bug-free hammock camping, corralling kids, relaxing over food and drink in a screen room, blocking sun and more.
