AquaQuest Defender Tarp: Tough Enough for a Long Term Shelter?

4 роки тому

I always like adding another shelter option to my lineup. From light weight to heavy weight, having a variety is definitely critical. In this video we look a heavy duty large tarp by the company AquaQuest. I have enjoyed many AquaQuest products in the past and plan to use this tarp for a long term shelter setup. Is this tough enough to withstand days, weeks, or months on end out in the bush?? This video is a first impressions video to see the overall features and characteristics of the tarp. In future videos I plan to use this as part of my long-term shelter system.

I also own Aqua Quest defender tarps and as far as I'm concerned these are one of the best quality tarps money can buy. I can't say enough about how good these things are. My defender tarps have seen snow, ice, freezing rain, torrential down pours, high winds and searing sun. All that and after six years they are still as good as the day I bought them, they have never failed me.

@johnstevenson9429 3 роки тому

Honestly I think there is more of a chance of damaging the tarp and seams by cramming it into the bag rather than laying it out and folding it up neatly

@outerlimitless 3 роки тому

No...definitely not. With a proper sized stuff sack and leaving it attached to the ridgeline there's virtually no way to damage it and it is fast and effective to store it. I've used tarps on probably 100 outings now with no issue stuffing them every single time.

@valdius85 Рік тому

I had the same thought. This tarp has heavy silicon coating on so best if rolled nicely. Eventually the silicone might be broken down but anyway this will happen with his method.

@n.talbert Рік тому

The trouble with folding is that you typically fold it the same over and over. This creates creases and is more likely to damage it.

@fruitingfungi Рік тому

@@outerlimitless what did I just watch? You do know you don't have to post videos that are not good, right? What do you mean, " with the right sized stuff sack"? The sack it came in IS the right size. I hope you've got some REAL WORLD experience since the filming of this.

@kevinelias8311 Рік тому

@@outerlimitless dude, based on your logic using a "stuff and crush" method, you're asking for a stuff sack as big or bigger than your backpack based on the difficulty you had stuffing it. You can clearly see at the end of the video you're struggling to stuff the tarp into the backpack alone without the stuff sack and it practically takes up the entire space within the backpack once you are done! Try rolling the damn thing. That was so painful to watch. It's the same approach when packing a suitcase full of clothes and stuffing everything randomly vs. rolling each individual item and see the difference in the amount of space you use.

Loved your video clip on the 15 x 15. That settled my choice on the size I wanted to consider. Being 6'4", I prefer having room to move inside than having to crouch, especially if you make a Pyramid tarp shelter with an open front tarp tent style. Placed my order to Aqua Quest.

@outerlimitless 3 роки тому

Sweet! Yes, pyramid will be nice with that. I think you'll be very happy with that tarp...it's super nice!

15’x15’ Defender tarp arrived. Set it up as a tipi style. Lots of room. No problem for me placing it back in its storage bag, mind you I had it on my home lawn and easier to fold back and forth and roll to desired bag size. But would be more difficult out in the woods with all the leaves. I agree with you about possible problems in the wild.

@joeyjones9041 3 роки тому

I have the 10x10 Safari camo tarp and when I fold it up and put it in the stuff sack, I have a ton of extra space. I can fit a 50ft paracord ridgeline, 6 bankline guylines, and 6 MSR groundhog stakes. The stuff sack I have has plenty of room. Aqua Quest has some really nice dry bags as well. Maybe get their 30 liter dry bag for your defender tarp.

@outerlimitless 3 роки тому

Yeah, it's the folding part that has me bummed out...I don't generally want to rely on folding...it either requires dragging your tarp on the ground or having 2 people to fold it...neither are acceptable for my needs. I definitely need to utilize another bag to store mine.

@86beeman 3 роки тому

Hey, I bought an AquaQuest tarp because of two videos, one of them being yours. It will receive its inaugural test in a week but on initial inspection I have no doubt it'll live up to it's reputation. I've pre-attached my ridge line for faster set up but as you've shown, it ain't going back into the stuff sac with the same ease it came out - I had to stretch shower and make a physio appointment after that wrestling match! I'll be buying a new sac for it this week. Good video. Thanks

@outerlimitless 3 роки тому

Haha! I'm glad you're happy with the quality. Obviously that's the biggest importance. Which tarp did you get? But yeah...what's with the stuff sack. It could just be a little bigger and it would be perfect! It's just un-necessary in my opinion. I don't want to struggle with my gear. I also don't want to sit there and fold it up all nice...and what, lay it out on sticks and branches and sap to do that??? No way!! You gotta be able to stuff and crush a tarp for the longevity of the tarp with no damage. I make a rule not to allow my tarp onto the ground. That is for a specific reason. I can't find that when I need the safety and security of my tarp that I punctured a hole in it while I was folding the damn thing on the ground! STUFF AND CRUSH!! BIGGER STUFF SACK!! Haha...thanks for watching!

@86beeman 3 роки тому

@@outerlimitless I bought the large defender and it was awesome on the trip but on day 2 I noticed a small right angle tear in the friggin thing!! The tear is about 2cm each way. I have no idea how it got there except to think that it caught on something when part of it was briefly on the ground. There's no way I can claim with confidence that it came damaged either. I hadn't obviously become proficient at setting up without allowing that to happen. It's an easy fix however and the tarp now has "character marks". One of the nights was really windy coming off the lake and stuff was blowing around a lot but I had no issues with any loops letting go. There was easily enough room for our 3 x 6 folding table that held the cook stove and kitchen kit and the two of with folding chairs to sit out of the rain and get up and move around easily. I'd post a photo of the set up if it were possible. One feature mine didn't have that I saw in another video - perhaps yours, I'd have to look gain - were some loops on the inside of the ridge line that I thought would be useful for hanging things, a clothesline etc. No biggy really on that. I bought the 10 x10 also which I'll keep for solo outings. It's bag seems more reasonable for a stuff sack. All in all - great piece of kit!

Thanks for joining, and glad to have you aboard! Yes, the stuff sack should be simply that...a way to stuff your tarp in there. Actually, folding a tarp isn't the best becaue it can gain memory and deteriorate on the fold lines. I would be surprised if it really happened, but people do claim that. And I always prefer to stuff my tarps in the sack for ease of packing. It's too bad I don't have 4 more inches of fabric to work with on these stuff sacks...they are all too tight from AquaQuest. But the tarps are totally amazing!

What if you folded it while on the ridge line. I have a cord line going across a space that I have a large sheet draped over. Whenever I don't need to use the sheet I just flip it over the top once and then flip it over twice. If I wanted to I could take down the line and it only needs to be rolled after that. I have a 10x10 defender and a 7x10 guide. I use their Boa compression straps. The new tarps are made in Taiwan and I think they are a bit of an upgrade. you can't even see the seam seal tape because they are clear. The boa straps make setups faster for me and the bags are bigger because I can put extra stuff inside with the tarp. Thanks for this review. I am new to tarps and I really wanted to see the last setup that you did when you close the end.

For anyone that wants to know. For the stuff method, you will need a 24L stuff sack. I use the large MTAC and it is perfect. Edit: I will add tho. It's a big boy. Best way to settle the stuff and crush vs the fold method. What is more importantly to you. Longevity of your tarp? Or it being smaller and more packable?

So the stuff sack does not work for stuffing, I think thats been established. I note the stuff sack is not same material as tarp and not as waterproof. It also has holes in bottom for draining. Why would you try and stuff in a wet tarp that will result in water draining into your back pack? Use a suitable sized dry sack to make life easier and keep kit dry. Use supplied sack for storing paracord, trussocks, pegs, clips, carabinas, s clips, lines, straps, shockcord or whatever elase you use to put up shelter and store bag on top of tarp in dry bag. Would recommend doing this if a stuffer or a folder 😉

The reason for the crush and stuff method is the reality of working in the woods alone...and the reality of what packing up is really like in the wilderness. There's no really way to carefully fold a tarp alone...or in the wilderness...especially in inclement weather. And, also, as I mentioned, I really try to avoid dragging my tarp on the ground. 99.99% of the time my tarp will NEVER touch the ground...or branches, or anything that could damage it.

I’ll always fold the tarp and always get it to fit 10 out of 10 times. You are just lazy or stupid or just understand that stupid sack is just a nick name not the actual design in other words fold the fucking tarps like it was designed and it will fit 100 out of 100 times use your head man. Come on admit you just want to bitch about a perfect product and a perfectly good STUFF SACK

Do you think AQUA QUEST IS TAKING THE HINT? This is the reason I will not buy one. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

@outerlimitless 3 роки тому

It's such a shame with such a simple way to address the issue...literally like 2 extra inches of material in length and maybe one inch in diameter would make all the difference.

@stevenrobertson6656 4 роки тому

Really don't like the fact that you can't get the tarp back into the stuff sack. In a pressure situation it would be really annoying.

@outerlimitless 4 роки тому

It is really frustrating, and in bad weather I would not have been happy! The tarp itself is really nicely made and helps make up for the stuff sack.

At 23.42 looks like you have a hole in your tarp

@outerlimitless Рік тому

A little one yes...from the factory that way

@randallblack4658 Рік тому

That tarp has to be rolled to store it

@gburlin 3 місяці тому

Fold the dam thing to size to roll up and place it back in the bag. I’ve got every size they make and have no problem. Your square pegging a round hole the way your doing it 😂

Screw that crap. Go pick up a separate compression bag for that thing.

Already did... got the MSS compression sack in foliage for it. Works perfectly!

Good review. I would think folding is the only way to go with a tarp that heavy duty. I know lighter weight tarps are actually better off stuffed but this beast aint' going in that bag. That being said, how much would it cost to increase the size a bit, $3.00...nothing when you consider you are paying $199 for the tarp. But, that would send it over that psychological $200 wall. Even folding the tarp it wouldn't hurt to have a bit bigger bag.

Tarp cant be used as a long term shelter. Especially if you live in tornado country.

Jesus Christ how many commercials can you put into a UKposts video? It feels like watching network TV. Sorry but it doesn’t matter what you have to say because the interruptions are just not worth it 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

I enjoyed your video until you showed your complete ignorance over the stuff sack. That means I won’t be watching any more

@outerlimitless 2 роки тому

Doesn't bother me. But do you own one of these? Once you do I want you take your tarp out into the mountains when it's next to freezing and sleeting hard and you need to pack up your camp and get outta there while you can barely feel your hands. And then I want you to tell me who's the ignorant one and tell me I'm right. You won't need to apologize for calling me ignorant. Your frozen hands and frustration over the undersized stuffsack from the 10 cents of material they saved will be enough apology for me.

@sbradley8051 Рік тому

The DD will certainly be lighter...not quite as tough. I have both. I use my DD tarps much more frequently as they are typically used for my backpacking adventures.
