Looks familiar.
BTW, it's a tarp tent not a Tarptent.

Yes, that did confuse me initially.

Some brands that have become the name for a generic product :
Bubble Wrap, Dumpster,Ping Pong, Escalator,TV Dinner,Laundromat,Kerosene,Zipper.
There are many well known others, like hoover, maybe Tarptent will join them...
BTW, aspirin is understood to be generic, Aspirin on the other hand should only be used for the Bayer product. (same with the rest)
About 30 years ago I bet some money with a customer that the Polaroid camera he was describing did not exist.
He knew that it existed because he had bought one boasting how much cheaper it was than my Polaroids.
Well I won the bet because his Polaroid camera was a Kodak Instant camera.
(Kodak had to stop production and pay Polaroid damages for patent infringements)

Yep - take your point Franco. Tarp tent it is. (No copyright infringement intended.)
Now ... anyone interested in this tarp tent? It is light, and versatile, and inexpensive ... and it does both tarp and tent.
cheers
