I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The SilTarp Plus Shelter

We are big fans of the SilTarp Plus Shelter for several reasons. Firstly, it is ultralight yet incredibly tough, making it the perfect choice for our backpacking adventures. It doesn't add unnecessary weight to our pack but still provides us and our two adventure mates with quick and reliable shelter when the weather takes a turn for the worse. No matter how hard the rain pours, we can trust that this shelter will keep us dry.

One of the standout features of the SilTarp Plus Shelter is its impeccable construction. The sealed seams and closed back wall ensure that droplets of water don't find their way inside. Say goodbye to annoying drips and gusts of wind blowing in water. Additionally, the curved ridge of the tarp keeps it taut, preventing any pooling of water or annoying flapping noises that can disturb our sleep. With this shelter, we can enjoy a dry and relaxed night's sleep, even in the midst of a storm.

Here are some key details about the SilTarp Plus Shelter:

  • Versatile tarp designed specifically for minimalist backcountry missions
  • The lightweight material provides exceptional weather resistance, ensuring that we stay protected from the elements
  • With 4 central lifter points, we have the flexibility to set up the tarp in various configurations, depending on our needs
  • For added convenience, the SilTarp Plus Shelter comes with 9 pegs and 6 guylines, so we have everything we need to set it up quickly and securely
