  • The Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 is an excellent lightweight shelter that can be configured many different ways. To save additional weight trekking poles can be used for the tent poles. It comes with stakes and lines and folds up exceptionally small. Being that it is a tarp it can be laid over a wing or fuselage for additional versatility. I carry one in my 17# survival bag that also includes first aid supplies, signaling, fire making, water purifying, water and survival calories. As you can see that is a lot of piece of mind for a small weight penalty.

    This page (products and gear) is probably not the best place to ask a question about a specific type aircraft. Perhaps try posting in the forum: https://backcountrypilot.org/forum
