Scalar™ Multi-Configuration Camp Tarp

When you're tracking game and conditions turn, shelter setup needs to take seconds, not minutes. This tarp deploys quickly with integrated attachment points and corner pockets that store guylines exactly where you need them. No digging through stuff sacks, no untangling cordage in fading light.

The design works as a flat overhead canopy or closes at one end to create three-wall coverage when wind drives rain sideways. Webbing loops and built-in G-hooks make the transformation fast without adding hardware to lose or fumble with cold fingers. Pole pockets accept trekking poles as upright supports, so you're not carrying dedicated tent stakes for a shelter you deploy only when the weather demands it.

Corner stash pockets keep tensioning line organized and ready. Pull what you need, stake it out, and the rest stays put. The system assumes you're moving light and want every gram to count, which is why the frame relies on gear you're already carrying.

NEMO designed this shelter in partnership with First Lite, a company that builds hunting apparel for backcountry conditions. The result is a tarp that understands the difference between car camping and covering miles before dawn. It features First Lite's Cipher camouflage pattern, though concealment is secondary to the practical benefit of a shelter that packs small and deploys in the time it takes to set two poles and pull four corners taut.
