Apex Camping Shelter 2.0

The Apex Camping Shelter 2.0 is a versatile, high quality weather shelter that will protect you and your gear from rain, wind, sun, and even snow! This tarp is excellent for hammock camping, but it's also makes a great all-purpose camping tarp, or shade canopy, even when you're not using a hammock!

It's not just for hammock camping!

This 11' long tarp is great for hammock camping, tarp camping and as an all-purpose camping tarp or shade canopy. 

It’s portable and lightweight! It can be set up in countless modes to adapt to many scenarios and weather conditions. You can use readily available tarp poles or found sticks to set up a freestanding shelter almost anywhere. 

We released the original Apex in 2016 and it was one of our best selling products. We’ve made some major improvements to it while keeping all the features that made it so popular and highly rated.

 Optional Tarp Door Kit

 

The optional Tarp Door Kit comes with 2 sets of doors that can help block wind and rain as well as provide privacy at both ends of the tarp.

Improvements to Version 2.0

 

Extra Waterproof Coating

The Apex is made from our proven and time tested, high strength 70d polyester fabric with a durable polyurethane coating. For version 2.0 we’ve added an ultralight, waterproof coating to the top side of the tarp for even more protection than the original version. The new coating makes water bead up and shed off of the tarp. It absorbs less moisture than the original, and it dries super fast.



Upgraded Rapid Deployment Bag



Version 2.0 includes a free Rapid Deployment Bag that has two openings so it deploys fast like a parachute! It packs up quick and easy. This is a major improvement over the original version, that included a smaller, standard stuff sack.

The Rapid Deployment Bag is designed to stay on one end of the tarp when you set it up. It has two openings so you can connect one end to a tree or a ridgeline and pull the tarp out from the other end. The stuff sack is oversized so packing up the tarp is a breeze.


Stronger Construction

Version 2.0 features extra reinforcements at the 20 tie out loops, to ensure that it will serve you well for years to come. The ridgeline seam has professionally installed waterproof seam tape. There is no need for you to waste your time and money with messy seam sealers that are required with many other tarps.

Countless Configurations

With 20 tie out loops you’ll have the freedom to get creative with setting up your shelter. With so many modes to choose from, you can quickly adapt it to the environment and to changing weather conditions. The Apex can be pitched many different ways.

Here are some of the modes possible with the Apex Camping Shelter 2.0

Storm Mode

The Apex is set up low and the corners are staked down tight to block rain and wind.


 Porch Mode:

For this popular one or both sides of the tarp are propped up with trekking poles or found sticks. This mode provides a view, headroom and a dry living area. It can be quickly converted to storm mode if the weather changes

 

Single Pole Porch Mode


Similar to porch mode but only one pole is used at the center tie out loop. This mode gives extra space to move around, has better view than storm mode, protects you from rain and only requires one stick to set it up. This configuration can also be quickly converted to storm mode.

 

Convertible Mode

 This mode can be used with many of the other other modes. Just remove the stakes from one side of the tarp, flip it over the other slide and tie off the corners. This mode gives you a great view and ventilation but you can quickly convert it to storm mode, if rain rolls in.


Shade Canopy and Rain Shelter Modes: 

The Apex Camping Shelter makes a great portable and compact shade canopy or rain shelter that you can take anywhere. You can use readily available tarp poles or found sticks to set up these modes even when there are no trees available.


Offset Mode

You can use any of the tie-out loops on the ends of the tarp to set it up off center to block wind. The many tie-off loops at the ends make the Apex extremely versatile.

 A-frame Tarp Camping Mode

Found sticks or trekking poles are used to set up a freestanding shelter. The 11’ length provides lots of covered space. You can add found sticks to or use long guy lines to raise sections of the tarp to create more ventilation, a better view and more dry living area on rainy days.

 

Single Pole Tarp Camping Mode

 This mode requires only one pole to set up a freestanding shelter quickly and easily. This mode blocks wind from three directions.

 Cave Mode

To set up this mode, tie one end of the tarp ridgeline as high as you can reach on a tree. Next, stake out two corners on the tree end of the tarp and then the corners and center on the other end

Storm Mode with Partially Closed End

 

The end tie-out points allow the tarp to be partially closed to add extra weather protection at the ends of the hammock.

Storm Mode with Closed Ends

  This hammock camping mode mode can be useful when heavy rain and wind are expected and you really want to hunker down. This shape is more aerodynamic than many other modes which can reduce the wind load on the tarp. For this mode use the center tie-out loops and guy ropes to pull out the tarp. One or both ends of the tarp can be closed by staking down the corner tie-outs together at the ends of the tarp.

What’s included?

The Apex Camping Shelter 2.0 includes six stakes, two 15' guy ropes with tensioners, six 8' guy ropes with tensioners, a storage bag for the stakes and ropes  and a water resistant Rapid Deployment Bag.

 Optional Tarp Door Kit

[Tarp Door Kit Video coming soon]

Our Tarp Door Kit includes two sets of tarp doors, one set for each end of the Apex. The door kit is designed to increase protection from wind and rain blowing in from the ends of the tarp and to provide privacy.




Each door kit includes two tarp doors, each with seven line-loc  tensioners & side release buckles, two 10' shock cords, four 4' shock cords plus four stakes and ropes. Each line-loc has a side release buckle that makes setting up and opening and closing the doors a breeze.



After the initial set up, the door kits can be set up fast by connecting the side release buckles.

Simply The Best
Size: King (Pack of 1)
It appears there are more than 1,000 pillows advertised and available all over the Internet. The situation is a comedy routine. If you want a cooling pillow because you're a hot sleeper or if you want a plush pillow for back problems or a combination or neither, it doesn't matter. Be prepared to read 1,000 different advertisements until you start laughing out loud. This is what I did, but I wandered upon this Marlow Pillow system and then trusted the Amazon ratings. And boy am I happy, though a word of caution: if you want the cooling technology to really work you've got to pair this pillow with the Marlow pillow protector. Because Amazon didn't carry the pillow protector I bought it directly from Marlow. And this is the last pillow I'll ever get or need to get. Comfortable like a goose down pillow and yet cool to the touch and cool all night long. So I got lucky; have avoided having to buy multiple pillows; and now am enjoying the heck out of my Marlow King with the Marlow pillow protector. Lastly, this pillow is adjustable with a zipper and it works: you can make it softer or harder with a quick zip. The best pillow out there, by far!

Really good pillow!
Size: King (Pack of 1)
This is the first pillow that I have owned in the last 10 years in which I have not experienced any neck pain. It's the right density, comfort level, and is a high-quality item. I am a side and stomach sleeper. Try this pillow and I think you'll be happy.

OMG I finally found the one
Color: White, Size: Standard
I use to have a pillow that I took it everywhere. It finally was gone I couldn’t find one that I had. So my quest for the perfect pillow was 17 different pillows. I finally found the one!!! This pillow is soft but is sturdy. My head lays on the pillow and doesn’t fall to the bed. My neck isn’t tilted in an awkward position. The coolness of the pillow is amazing. This pillow is everything I was looking for. The price is 100% worth it. Edit ok I still love the pillow but you have to flip it because all the stuffing moves to the other side. The pillow still has enough that it was still comfortable. I wish that the stuffing would stay in the same pot.

Nice Pillow
Color: White, Size: King
I waited a few weeks before writing this review. It’s very difficult to find Info on this pillow but here’s my take on it. Height: It’s a nice height on the pillow. It has a 2” gusset which upon my research is a way to keep the inside foam and down at least 2” high. Types of sleeping: I find this pillow to be comfortable in all sleep positions. I do find that because it’s not full foam that you don’t get that full compression feeling so back sleep is not as comfortable to me as other pillows I’ve used but still very comfortable Back: Has enough height that my neck is supported. It’s not full foam so you will have to adjust your head position so it fits perfectly into the curve of the pillow for best support. Side: Thick enough that the compatibility with my mattress sink allows my body to be comfortably aligned. I have a medium hybrid tempurpedic luxe breeze. Stomach: Just barely thick enough to be comfortable. I sleep somewhat weird and like my arm to go under the pillow. This gives me the correct height for stomach sleeping if I put my head on the bottom part of the pillow. This also allows me to breathe lol. Cooling This pillow has awesome cooling. Even when I wake up the pillow is still ice cold. Never had this feeling before and I’m a hot sleeper so i really like this. Granted I do set my house temperature to like 73 to sleep. The sensor is right next to my bed so it’s a true 73. Material This has foam outer layers and a fiber fill. It really does feel unique and it’s comfy. It’s a decently heavy pillow too in king so that gives confidence there is good quality foam and materials in it. One thing to know, the cover is “slippery” and it took some getting used to, even though I use a pillow case I can feel it slides in the case more than other pillows. I think it’s because the cover is very thing to promote airflow and heat transfer. I wish it was adjustable for the price. Price I like the pillow, and got mine on sale. But I do think it’s a bit overpriced for what it is. Evidently the sale price I got wasn’t a good price and it’s gone as much as 20% off. Oh well.
