For sale today is an msr twin peaks tarp in very good condition. This is the 2003 model in the “chinchilla grey” and in my opinion is much easier on the eyes than the 2005 in bright orange.
This tarp can be set up with trekking poles or any 48 pole or stick if need be. It also has loops on the two peaks that can be used to tie it up to trees or branches if you don’t use trekking poles. There is a nice vent on the back peak to help keep air flowing.

This tarp can fit the. Black diamond betamid floor and the beta bug net as the dimensions are the same. The tarp weighs 2 pounds 7 ounces with the bags and the 7 groundhog stakes on my scale. The tarp is a very nice lightweight option for hiking and camping.

This tarp does not have any condition issues, no rips tears or repairs. The zipper is in great working condition. No dirt or marks on the tarp to speak of. As for the light spot on the lower left of the door, that is just the tag for the tent on the inside that is causing the lightening of the area!! I actually noticed that in the photos and went and checked and there is nothing wrong with the fabric there, just the tag.

Included in the sale are the tarp and msr groundhog stakes. All of the original bags are with the tent. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Here is a review that i found useful. First, to keep the “confusion factor” to a minimum, there are two models of msr twin peaks on the market today.

1 2003 model twin peaks is a tarp/hybrid which is designed to be used. With your trekking poles and weighs around 2.5 lb.

Colored [they call it "chincilla"] and is constructed of a high-grade. It comes with msr ground hog stakes. 2 2005 model twin peaks is of the same design as the 2003 model, a constructed of blaze orange sil-nylon and is issued with msr needle. Some would argue the minimal weight savings of the newer mostly from the switch to the lighter stakes.

Have no floor, but the black diamond betamid floor and the beta bug match the twin peaks fittings and design exactly. Are single-walled tarps with one door and a small covered vent on the. Opposite wall at the top to minimize condensation and to theoretically.
Allow their use as “ski cooking shelters” (risky in my opinion). Require the use of two trekking poles or similar devices, which sit. Between the two occupants, or the occupant and his/her gear.

All seams are factory sealed unlike their brothers the betamid and. Beta light, which might require up to six days of sealing by hand…

Been there, done that too. May be tied to trees as substitutes for poles by msr doctrine, but i’ve never seen this actually work in the field. Provide bomb-proof, quickly pitched, lightweight shelter, but no. Vestibule space for that you should look at the msr trekker. Tarp(2003)/tent(2005), which also made the switch from chinchilla to.


Work almost as well as 2-person hybrids, but they fit into tighter. Spaces on the trail than does the msr trekker tarp/tent 9′ long versus. I don’t believe that on today’s backpacking market they’re very good. Regularly and i think they’re great.

I also like them better than my. Betamid because there is less of a dip between the poles and loss of. Headroom than with the betamid. Having said all of this, however, i prefer the 2003 model twin peaks. Even though it’s slightly 6 oz.

Yes, i use a mix of ground hog and needle stakes so there is little. Difference in pack weight and i really prefer the less obtrusive color. Of the old one, which also makes a better sun shade than does the newer.
