Thanks for the heads up, those prices are reasonable.

I've been trying to gear up so I can rent just a canoe on this year's trip, and a tarp was one of the things still needed. I just sprang for the 12' size. Shipping was $5 and another couple of bucks for tax, so total was $38.

Literally just posted this 3 hours ago, same forum.

Good price - Amazon wants $53 for the same Kelty 12" tarp.

just to be clear... this deal does NOT include the poles?

Nope, no poles included.

the "poles not included" is pretty small print

What is your experience with Kelty's catenary shaped tarp vs. a square cut tarp? I like the price but it would seem that you would have to buy a much larger tarp with a catenary cut to cover the same space of a square cut tarp? Maybe a good cover for a tent entrance, but does it work well for a larger group over the fire?

I have a cat cut tarp and yes you lose coverage with them. That is why I switched over to a square cut one. Also not a lot of tie outs to it. I had some added on even. I have a 10x10 cat cut and it doesn't seem to have much room compared to a square cut one.

Super price. I have the big one and gave 50 on sale in 2008. Yes, it is cat cut, but never had a problem and string up a ridgeline to pull it over quite often. No leaks at around 100 days. Around 4 lbs. but we base camp often or stay a couple nights in same camp. I am not much of a minimalist and usually trip only once a year. If I were a serious tripper/mover a 1.1 of would be in the budjet. I like the Noah 16. Enough for 4.

We love the 16' for center of camp tarp. It allows a group of 5-7 people to easily get under it. If we need to make it smaller - we just fold back half and have a good triangle tarp.

Sorry about that. I even did a quick look before I posted it and missed it entirely.

Thanks for the post(s). I've been looking for one.
I just picked up the 12 footer.

thanks for the post.. .ordered a 12 footer for the hammock. All ready have a 20 footer for a group tarp in the center of camp

more gear for storage! got the 12', that should be good for 2 people

If you run your ridgeline and divide the Noah 12 into rectangles instead of the long triangular ridge line, I'd call the coverage close to a 10X10 square cut. Infinite number of ways to pitch a tarp, the typical one they show for the Noah is one I've only used when creating a covered 'entry' area between to tents when car camping. The Kelty's are inexpensive but certainly do the job...have kept me dry through some real downpours. Have 2 of the 12's, but couldn't resist ordering the 16. I'll determine upon its arrival if it is going along on this year's BW trip.

unbelievable prices. These are great tarps, and if I didn't already have 3 12' and one 16' I would buy more! They go up really fast and don't require a ridge line or a center pole. We love them.

Love my 16' There is so many ways to rig the Noah's tarp. we travel with four most of the time and have never felt under covered.

I've never seen a Kelty Noah listed with poles included, even at full price.

Link in the OP shows sold out, but the one in this post shows in stock.

Keep in mind that the Kelty Noah tarps are NOT waterproof unlike the silnylon tarps from CCS.
