DD Small Solo Tarp Comparison Table

Tarp Size Coverage Weight Material Best For
Superlight Tarp Small (This Product) 2.8m x 1.5m 4.2 sq m 260g 20D ripstop nylon Ultralight bivvy, lightest option
Tarp 2x2 2m x 2m 4 sq m 460g 190T polyester Compact bivvy, heavier fabric
Tarp Small 2.8m x 1.5m 4.2 sq m 440g 190T polyester Solo bivvy, heavier fabric
Tarp Medium 2.9m x 3m 8.7 sq m 790g 190T polyester Solo hammock or bivvy, most coverage

The Superlight Tarp Small is the lightest option at 260g. The Tarp Small has the same dimensions but uses heavier polyester fabric. The Tarp 2x2 is the most compact. The Tarp Medium provides the most coverage and works for hammock camping.


DD Superlight Tarp Small Weight 260g Lightest DD Tarp

The Superlight Tarp Small weighs only 260g excluding pegs and guy lines, making it the lightest tarp in the DD range. The total system weight including 4 Superlight pegs and guy lines is approximately 350g. This ultralight weight makes it suitable for ultralight bivvy camping, day hikes where you want emergency shelter, or as a groundsheet that fits in a jacket pocket.

The 20D ripstop nylon construction with silicone coating provides the weight savings while maintaining 3000mm waterproof protection. The fabric packs down incredibly small, lighter and more compact than the Tarp Small (440g) which has the same dimensions but uses heavier polyester.


DD Superlight Tarp Small Size 2.8m x 1.5m for Solo Bivvy Camping

The 2.8m x 1.5m dimensions provide 4.2 square metres of coverage, adequate for one person and gear in ground bivvy camping. The 2.8 metre length provides coverage from head to foot with space for a pack. The 1.5 metre width covers a sleeping mat with minimal overhang on each side.

The small size is too limited for hammock camping. The 1.5 metre width does not provide adequate coverage on each side of a hammock. For hammock camping, choose the Tarp Medium (2.9m x 3m, 8.7 square metres) which provides proper hammock coverage.


DD Superlight Tarp Small for Ground Bivvy Camping and Day Shelters

The Superlight Tarp Small works well for ground bivvy camping where you sleep directly on the ground under a tarp without a tent. The 4.2 square metres provides coverage for one person and gear in lean-to or A-frame configurations. The ultralight weight makes it practical for minimalist camping where you want the lightest possible shelter.

The tarp also works as a day shelter for lunch stops and rest breaks on the trail. The quick setup and tiny pack size make it convenient for emergency shelter during day hikes. The tarp can also serve as a groundsheet, providing a waterproof barrier between your sleeping mat and the ground.


DD Superlight Tarp Small 20D Ripstop Nylon Lighter and Packs Smaller

The 20D ripstop nylon fabric provides significant weight savings compared to the 190T polyester used in the Tarp Small (440g). The ripstop construction prevents small tears from spreading. The silicone coating provides 3000mm waterproof protection while remaining lighter than PU coatings.

The 20D fabric packs down to a smaller size than heavier polyester tarps, fitting in jacket pockets. The fabric is also less prone to folding damage over time compared to polyester, making it better suited for regular packing and unpacking. The lighter fabric requires more care to avoid punctures from sharp rocks and sticks.


DD Superlight Tarp Small 19 Attachment Points

The 19 reinforced attachment points (16 around sides and corners, 3 along centre ridgeline) provide setup versatility despite the small size. The attachment points enable lean-to, A-frame, and other configurations suited for ground bivvy camping and day shelters.

When to Choose DD Superlight Tarp Small Over Other Small Tarps

Choose the Superlight Tarp Small when you prioritize absolute minimum weight for ultralight bivvy camping. The 260g weight is the lightest option in the DD range, suitable for minimalist camping where every gram matters.

Choose the Superlight Tarp Small when you want a tarp that fits in a jacket pocket for emergency shelter during day hikes. The tiny pack size makes it convenient to carry without taking up valuable pack space.

Choose the Tarp Small (440g, same dimensions) if you prefer heavier polyester fabric. Choose the Tarp 2x2 (460g, 4 square metres) for the most compact square shape. Choose the Tarp Medium (790g, 8.7 square metres) for hammock camping or when you want more coverage.


DD Superlight Tarp Small Complementary Equipment

Pair this tarp with ultralight guy lines and stakes for securing the tarp. Use DD Cord or Amsteel Rope for ridgelines in lean-to or A-frame setups. For bivvy camping, combine with a bivvy bag or ultralight sleeping bag.


DD Superlight Tarp Small Limitations to Consider

The 2.8m x 1.5m size (4.2 square metres) is too small for hammock camping. The 1.5 metre width does not provide adequate coverage on each side of a hammock. For hammock camping, choose the Tarp Medium which provides proper coverage.

The 20D ripstop nylon fabric requires more care to avoid punctures from sharp rocks and sticks compared to heavier polyester tarps. Clear your camping area thoroughly before setup and handle the tarp carefully to avoid snagging the fabric on sharp objects.

The small coverage is adequate for solo bivvy camping but feels tight compared to larger tarps. Taller users or those carrying extensive gear may find the coverage insufficient.


DD Superlight Tarp Small Care and Maintenance

Handle the tarp carefully during setup and takedown to avoid snagging the 20D fabric on sharp objects. Clear your camping area of rocks, sticks, and anything that could puncture the fabric.

Allow the tarp to dry completely before packing for long-term storage. The silicone coating resists mildew better than PU coatings, but moisture can still cause problems if stored wet. Store the tarp loosely in its stuff sack rather than compressed tightly for extended periods.

Inspect the tarp regularly for small tears or punctures. Repair damage promptly using silicone-based repair tape or patches designed for silicone-coated fabrics. Standard PU-based repair tape does not adhere well to silicone coatings.

Essential reading for a fuller and more accurate comprehension of American history
Format: Hardcover
I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, but I strongly recommend Hitler's American Model as critical reading for our political moment, especially given the conversations about racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy that the Trump administration and Charlottesville have bought to the fore. It's imperative that we understand the depth of racism integral to American policy making and execution. Numerous European countries recognized America as the world's leader in racist legislation, and American immigration, naturalization, and antimiscegenation law influenced the Nazi legislators who crafted the Nuremberg Laws. They did not import American legal policy and praxis wholecloth, but studied it deeply as a precedent for not just a race-based, but a racist, system of laws that privileged the "master race" over the inferior dilutors of that race--in the Nazi case, the Jews. American exclusion and criminalization of non-white people proffered a blueprint of inspiration to Nazi radicals, who engaged intimately with it in the hopes of carrying it out to its logical extent: an openly racist legal system that drove out the racially decrepit to foster a pure Aryan state.

America's Fascist Governments
Format: Hardcover
"Love it" is not the correct phrase for how I related to the book. An important book for which I am thankful sobered and shamed by the book, better express my feelings. America to our lasting shame was the Mid-Tewentith Century global leader in the law of racial disenfranchisement & suppression despite our constitution to the contrary. That we were one model for Nazi race law is an abomination, a stain we can never remove. Professor Whitman though is generous to America, and this old, white, Tennessean, believes incorrect, when he states (p. 145) that the Nazi's went beyond American racism by creating, "...something different: the "organization of a fascist state"." The author is correct that the United Staes of America was itself not a "fascist state". However, within the United States, at least at the county level, governments existed and were tolerated by the federal government, that were indeed fascist in all but name. One-party county governments based on white supremacy and dedicated to maintaining white rule, black poverty & political powerlessness, racial purity & separation, at any cost including murder, existed in the South, in Tennessee, long before Hitler. These Southern county governments were very effective police states that employed government led white terror to control African Americans. White terrorists county governments they were. Fascist they were. Americans organized fascist local governments long before Germans organized on a national scale and streamlined their murder machine. Americans fascists killed fewer, but kill they did.

Impressive sources, sophomoric writing.
Format: Kindle
Should everyone read this book? Certainly. But the writing is too poor for me to offer an enthusiastic four or five star recommendation. I'm surprised an editor did not clean this up so that the book could live up to its eye-opening content. This already short book has quite a lot of distracting, repetitive padding. Symbolic of this is the use of the phrase "of course" - it appears thirty times. More repetition appears in the author's needless (and, I would say, presumptuous) dwelling on the reader's emotional reactions to the content of the book: the idea that America might have influenced the Nazis is "too awful to contemplate," and "is sure to seem distressing," and "hard to digest," and "no one wants to imagine" it, and "none of this is entirely easy to talk about," and "it is hard to look coolly on the question," and "it is hard to admit," and "no one wants to be perceived as relativizing," and "no non-Germans want their country to be accused," and "it is hard to overcome our sense that..." and "painful though it may be for us to admit..." and "awful it may be to contemplate," and "the story of American influence...is certainly depressing," and so on and so forth. Nevertheless, "To be sure, we must keep our composure..." This repetition gets exhausting in a single 56-word sentence invoking the phrases "true nefandum...abyss of unexampled modern horror...sui generis radical evil...a sort of dark star." More padding appears in the author's concern with arguing against weak positions: "We can, and should, reject the sort of simple-minded anti-Americanism..." "It would be a mistake to draw overblown conclusions..." Well, yes, simple-minded anything is to be rejected, as are overblown conclusions about anything. But that doesn't stop the author from presenting repetitive arguments. Additional filler that an editor should have excised is in the form of these phrases, which read like a student trying to hit a required word count in a term paper: "It is important to note that..." "In particular it is essential to emphasize..." "We must bear that fact in mind..." "It is an unpleasant truth that..." "Worthy of attention above all is..." "It is particularly noteworthy that..." "Sahm is a particularly noteworthy author..." Finally, the author descends into a kind of bullying that indicates a lack of confidence in his own presentation: "Our literature has taken a crass interpretative track." "It is a major interpretative fallacy on the part of all these scholars..."It would be foolish and craven to minimize Nazi interest in what American law represented." "It is essential to reject once and for all the proposition that American law could not have been of interest to the Nazis." "It is simply nonsense to claim..." "Once we dispose of that dubious claim..." "There can be no justification for ignoring the evidence..." "Only a naive and pedestrian understanding of law - only a dogged refusal to face facts..." An editor should have deleted these kinds of phrases and just let the content - the documenting of Nazi interest in America law - speak for itself. With all this rhetorical padding, the book is overpriced. Nevertheless it has value as a kind of annotated bibliography.

Thoughtful, well researched, not a "fun" read
Format: Hardcover
This was a very thoughtful look at a topic I didn't know much about. It talks about prewar anti race mixing laws and immigration laws in the USA and other laws used to strip rights from nonwhites in the USA and how those laws were studied by Nazis who wrote laws for the third reich and what they thought of each other. The author obviously put a lot of research and thought into this work but is careful not to jump to any conclusions. This book is very dense and as someone who is not a lawyer or anything, I could follow it but I had to read it more slowly than most other nonfiction books. Still very worth picking up if you are interested in the topic, though!

Format: Kindle
I must say, I am EXTREMELY biased towards Tim Wise. I adore him. He is a well-educated, genuine wordsmith. He shuts down the mess that we hear perpetrated on a daily basis regarding colorblind politics. In this book, he shuts down "colorblindness". I really love the fact that he criticized President Obama for his lack of legislation specifically for African-Americans. That was an issue I had with him and I believe that several African-Americans feel the same way. I understand, like Tim Wise, the position of President Obama and how easy it would have been for him to fall into a stereotype. I also believe that, no matter what he did, he will always be stereotyped, so why not help out the people who got you elected? Great book by a "Wise" man.
