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.

Please read, especially if you read the bad reviews.
Format: Paperback
I love this book... I bought it over 15 years ago... And after reading the reviews (especially the bad ones), I had to comment. Most of the comments have to do with spanking and it is obvious that if you are against it, you will have problems with it, (even though there is a TON more advice on all other aspects of parenting than just spanking). The reason for this review is because when I first read this book, I was against spanking too, but because of this book I have a new understanding of it, and have only used it once on each of my two children. If you have an open heart and mind to hear what is being taught in this book, instead of a "heels dug in" attitude, you will learn a lot about what it means to be a Christian parent and have spanking as part of your discipline, even if you never have to use it. I was invited to a parenting class at a friend's church that used this book.. I was in a place of discouragement. I felt out of control when it came to knowing what was right and wrong with raising and disciplining kids. My mother never once spanked me as a child. I spanked my son (at 2) once and that was it.. I felt horrible and abusive. I vowed never to spank again. I then became a Christian when my kids were 5 and 2.... this book put into perspective God's intention of authority. We are all under some kind of authority.. and it should be respected for various reasons... This book taught me that spanking must not be violent, done in anger or out of frustration. and the first time I used SACH practice, I explained to my then 5 year old that because he broke a rule, he would be punished and his punishment would be a spanking. To go to his room and think about what he had done and wait for me. I took about 10 minutes to settle down, prayed for God' guidance and wisdom and then went to my son's room. I told him to take down his pants and lay across my lap (he still had his underwear on) and I said, "Because you broke ....... rule, you will be spanked now." and I lightly slapped his bottom, no more than than like lightly slapping a mosquito off your hand. He cried more because he was sorry for what he had done than any "pain" from the spanking. We talked about why the rule is in place, why it is important that he follows it and that mommy and daddy make rules because we are older and wiser and only wish for his safety and happiness. I never had to spanked my child again.. he is now 20. From the moment I read this book, my husband and I started developing a relationship of respect with our kids that demonstrated our love for them out of our authority and responsibility for them. Both my kids are well adjusted and have never been in ANY kind of trouble. They know they can come to us and our relationship is deep, loving and they comment often how they recognize how special our relationship is compared to their friends. We have also acknowledged that we are human and make mistakes, and we own up to our mistakes and ask our children for forgiveness. That goes a long way with kids. but establishing respect and authority with your children will allow them to grow in a safe environment. And putting God in the center of your family showing your kids that you too are under the authority and grace of God will plant a seed of a long lasting relationship with Christ, which I believe is every parent's hope and goal... Happy, healthy, successful kids who love God.

Incredibly Biblical, Amazing Insights, Best Discipline Book on the Market. NOT ABUSIVE!!
Format: Paperback
The only reason people rate this book low is because it advocates spanking. Because spanking doesn't happen to be popular in our culture, and because people have been brainwashed to believe that spanking is abusive, people think this book is awful. If this is you, or you're not a Christian, don't even bother reading this book. It will just anger you, mostly because you won't understand it. BUT, if you are a Christian, and you want the most Biblically based instruction on RAISING your children, then this is by far the most incredible book you could ever read. This book is not about spanking. In fact, he only talks about spanking in two chapters. This book is about WHY and HOW to discipline your children based on what the Word of God says. It has been so impactful for me, that I would be willing to live my entire life over again if I could go back and have my mother raise me as this book suggests. I would be a different person today with a LOT less problems. The way Tedd Tripp explains authority and why we discipline our children is so different than most people have been raised. It's not because it's "out there", but because the church as mostly failed in helping us understand discipline and authority. For example (from the book), we are under God's authority, and God has commanded us to bring up our children in the training and instruction of the Lord (Eph 6:4). Our children are under our authority. So when we discipline them, it's not because we're angry or we want to 'show them who's boss', but it's because we are commanded by the Lord and we must be obedient to Him. Not only is this Godly, but it teaches our children about authority and changes the nature of discipline! This is just the tip of the iceberg on dozens of amazing concepts that I personally had never thought about before in my life. This book is very straightforward and easy to read. Tedd Tripp isn't a flowery writer and doesn't waste words. He's direct, to the point, and often doesn't even give examples (something I would have liked more of). But because it's so straightforward, it makes sense and goes fast. I plan on reading this book several times just to ingest everything it has to say. I hope every Christian parent reads this book; our society would change if it followed the guidelines laid out in this Godly, insightful book.

An Excellent Book
Format: Paperback
There are many things in life that are easy to do poorly but are much more difficult to do with excellence. It did not take me long as a parent to discover that it would not be difficult to raise children, but that it would be exceedingly difficult to do it with excellence. In the six years since my eldest child was born I have looked often for help and advice in becoming an excellent parent. Unfortunately my wife and I have received little mentorship in this area. Thankfully, there are many books written about this topic so we have often looked to these resources to provide the wisdom and training we know we need. Shepherding A Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp came to us highly recommended. In fact, I can't think of a book on this topic that was recommended to us more often. It is a book that deals with speaking to the very heart of your children. Realizing that too many parents react only to symptoms of underlying sin, Tripp attempts to help parents look deeper, to see that all the things a child says and does flow from the heart, for as Luke 6:45 says, "...out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." If a parent can understand a child's heart and shepherd that heart, he can deal most effectively with a child's deepest needs. And through it all he seeks to keep the gospel central to a parent's calling and to a child's response. The book is divided into two parts. In the first, Tripp lays the foundation for biblical childrearing. He shows that the heart of bad behavior is a sinful heart. He discusses a child's development, showing that a child is shaped by various influences on his life and that a parent needs to help a child have a Godward orientation. He discusses authority and suggests that, despite our culture's disgust towards authority, a parent must assert himself as being in a position of God-given authority over a child. A child must realize that parents speak not of their own authority, but of God's. He also discusses goals, methods, communication and discipline. Where the first part of the book lays a foundation, the second part guides a parent through shepherding a child through three stages of development: infancy, childhood and teenagers. For each of these periods he suggests the training objectives and then procedures a parent should use to attain these objectives. A section I found particularly interesting, perhaps because I have young children, was the section dealing with punishment. Tripp advocates spanking as really the only biblical method of punishment (and certainly the only one that is specifically mandated by Scripture) for correcting young children. He lays out very clear circumstances in which children should be spanked and suggests many circumstances in which parents must not spank. He makes this type of corporal punishment very deliberate and very loving. He suggests that parents must be fully in control of themselves when they spank and must not be filled with anger. Parents do not punish their children out of anger, embarrassment or retribution, but to teach children that defying authority will bring about consequences. Children must know that God demands obedience to authority and that there are consequences for defiance. In his endorsement of this book Edward Welch wrote, "Dr. Tripp's material on parenting is clearest, most biblically framed, and most helpful that I have ever encountered. It has become the backbone of my own parenting." I agree entirely. Throughout the book Tripp focuses on Scripture and on the gospel. He focuses on human nature and on the grace of God in providing a solution to the needs of our children. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to any parent, and especially to new parents. Read it now, pray about it, and let God direct you to His ways of shepherding the hearts of your children.
