Pre-made, all-in-one tarp ridgeline kit.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
50 ft reflective coyote-brown Bushcraft Paracord ridgeline
- Plenty of working cord for large tree trunks, wider anchor spacing or extended/double-ridgeline setups.
- Earth tones blend naturally into camp by day; reflective tracers improve visibility when illuminated after dark.
3 × reflective-orange bungee Prusik loops
- Pre-tied for fast tarp positioning: slide them unloaded, then tension the setup so the wraps grip.
- Elastic pull helps buffer wind gusts and reduce sudden stress on tarp tie-outs.
6 × 6 ft reflective-orange guylines
- Four for the tarp corners plus two extras for pull-outs, alternate pitches or line extensions.
- Bright orange and reflective tracers make the lines easier to spot when illuminated after dark.
1 × The Bear Essentials general-purpose carabiner
- Use as a quick ridgeline connection or gear clip. Not for climbing.
1 × waxed-canvas carrying bag
- Keeps the complete kit organized, protected and ready to pack.
The thought behind it
Our Unique Design
How to Use
WATCH THE CURRENT TARP SETUP VIDEO →
1. Run the 50 ft mainline between two suitable anchors. Use only the length your pitch needs; the extra cord handles large tree trunks, wider spacing or extended/double-ridgeline setups.
2. Attach the tarp’s ridge tie-outs to the pre-tied bungee Prusik loops. Remove the load to slide each Prusik into position; tension the setup and the wraps grip.
3. Attach the guylines and stake out the tarp. For adjustable tension, I recommend a Farrimond Friction Hitch or Taut-Line Hitch on each guyline. Slide each friction hitch to adjust.
4. Use four guylines for the corners and the two extras for pull-outs, alternate pitches or line extensions.
Once dialed in, leave the cordage attached to your tarp for a faster setup next time.

🏞️ The Bear Essentials Advantage
Built to save you the buying, cutting and tying.
I hand-selected the right cord for each job: reflective Bushcraft Paracord for the mainline, reflective nylon for the guylines and elastic bungee cord for the Prusik loops.
Everything is measured, cut and pre-tied, so you don’t have to buy several full spools, cut the lines yourself or tie the loops yourself.
Once you dial in the setup for your tarp, leave the cordage attached for a much faster pitch next time.
