Our very own little tarp, made in co-operation with DD Hammocks. Erakko (for all you foreign devils, that´s "hermit" in Finnish) is, as the name suggests, a loner tarp, designed for packability whilst still being comfortably large enough for one person to sleep under. Lightweight and packable, this is one fantastic tarp for pitching one-man shelters!

Designed to work equally well as a tarp for normal on-the-ground sleeping and for hammock use.

• Dimensions 250 x 250 cm / 98.5" x 98.5" (345 cm / 136" diagonally from corner to corner).
• Weight (without the stuff sack) 550 g / 19.4 oz.
• Nine tie-down points, reinforced at the sides and corners.
• Material: 190T polyester with polyurethane coating (waterproof 3,000 mm), taped center seam.
• Comes with a simple stuff sack.
• Great for hammocking! When pitched diagonally as a "diamond", this tarp covers up any hammock nicely.

The model is based on DD Hammocks´ 3x3 Tarp; it´s just smaller and simplified: we cut down the size by 50 cm (19.5") on each side and removed a few attachment points, which also means this tarp is a third smaller in pack size and 240 g / 85 oz. lighter than DD´s 3x3 model! Unlike DD Hammocks, we did not include the guy lines and pegs in the package. The logic behind this is that you can make pegs from any sticks you find in the woods, and most people still end up replacing the original guy lines with some of their own favorite cordages. This way, we could slice off a bit of the price, too! 

However if you really want some cord and pegs with this, we do have them of course.

Pro-Tip: For packing and carrying the Erakko hammock and tarp we recommend the Särmä TST General Purpose Pouch L, it fits both the tarp and hammock plus all needed attachment gear just perfectly!
