So, why does TEHCC have a nylon fly available for rent? The primary intention
was likely to provide shelter over a group cooking/eating area in case of
inclement weather. The fly has 21 ties arrayed along one side, so with a couple
of short rope sections, it can have flexibility on set up. A second use is as a
tarp shelter. There are several internet postings on how to use a tarp as a
light weight shelter with trekking poles or trees. (Take a piece of plastic as a
ground cover.) At 29 ounces, this nylon tarp would not be considered ultra light
by backpacking standard, but is likely lighter than similar sized tarps
available from the local mega discount store. Consider trying it if you have
either need.
