I've camped under my tarp in massive downpours and in temps down to the lows 30's F. it has held up well, hasn't leaked, and survived howling winds. I camp out every month of the year in New England, and have used the tarp for 13 months.
Basically, it works as advertised. I'd like to see more tie down spots on the center line, there are only two, one at each end, while there are multiple tie downs along the edges and at the quarter fold.
It's well made and sturdy, and I recommend it without reservation.

I've been using a hammock for camping for 15+ years, always went with a cheap tarp, some rope and added rivets to use for over the hammock. Recently pulled the trigger and picked up a BA Tarp Lite, and just finished a camping trip with it. Simply put - I love it. It worked great, have no complaints and only 1 suggestion - they should add a couple anchor points across the top ridge. I use 1 long rope across the top, tie it off to the anchor points and around the trees. During a strong wind (15+ mph) it'd give extra strength and help reduce bowing.

I thought that the winds were going to shred the tarp or pull out the anchor points, but to my surprise it held up without any visible signs of wear or tear. If you're serious about using a hammock when camping, you can't beat this tarp.
