Seam sealing: Due to the silicone coating, the seams cannot be taped and need to be manually sealed with seam sealer. You can do this yourself or use our seam-sealing service. Seam sealer is available here, and more information can be found on our Seam Sealing page.

Description
A lightweight tarp shelter with integrated bug protection
Take our 1P Cirriform Tarp, sew in perimeter bug netting, and what do you get? The 1P Cirriform w/ Bug Skirt, built for trips with low to moderate bug pressure on bare ground when you don't want to carry a separate inner.
For more on the tarp itself - geometry, materials, pitching - see the 1P Cirriform Tarp page.
What the skirt adds
- Integrated perimeter netting - 0.6 oz no-see-um netting sewn around the base for built-in bug protection; adds ~2.4 oz (68g) over the standard Cirriform
- No separate inner required - works as a standalone shelter for low to moderate bug pressure
- Corner stake loops - four loops at the base to pin the skirt for a better seal in breezy conditions or on uneven ground
- Inner-compatible - accepts the Y-zip Bug Bivy or 1P Bug Shelter inside for bug heavy trips
- Floor-compatible - works with any groundsheet or our tub-floor (a purpose-built integrated floor is in development)
What to know before you buy
- Breezes can lift the netting - Fortunately, the windier it is, the fewer bugs tend to be out.
- In wet, windy conditions, water can blow off the netting - Pitching low or staking down the netting will help, and with the netting not blowing around, it'll actually help block some splashing.
- Getting a seal on vegetation - If you're camping on lumpy ground or tall grass, expect some gaps around the perimeter.
- There's a small gap in the netting at the end of the zipper - A known limitation of the current design.
- Staking the four corner loops improves the seal - but it adds 4 stakes to your kit.
First batch note: The tie-out loops on this batch were added after initial construction and may be slightly harder to use than they'll be in future production runs. They work, they're just not as refined as what's coming. We're offering a 5% discount on this batch to reflect that (automatically applied).

Hang loops for suspending inners are placed under each apex and near the corners. When pitched low, the loops help keep floating tub floors elevated - just run the corner lines through the loops before clipping to the tarp.
Required items (not included):
- Front Pole: 37"–44" (94–115 cm)
- Rear Pole: 26"–33" (66–84 cm)

Pitching
How to pitch the Cirriform
Start by staking out the corners of the tarp to establish your base. Raise the poles at the peaks and stake them to form the shelter's shape. Adjust and tension the lines evenly for a tight, balanced pitch.

8yo son and mom love this book
Format: Paperback
I’m a mom of two boys and one girl. I would first like to address the people complaining about the title saying “for boys.” The author has addressed this too and it’s part of the reason why I purchased this book. Boys are falling behind in school and reading. Not sure why some people are allowed to review these books when they haven’t read them or purchased them. Do your research if you have a boy in your life. I would also like to point out that bookstores frequently have shelves dedicated to girls about strong women, strong girls, etc and yes boys can read books in those sections just like girls can read these Great Battles for Boys books.
My 8yo son loves history and is devouring this book. I highly recommend. This book is really exciting and I (mom) am enjoying it too. We use it for read aloud time and independent reading. As soon as I finish this review I will be ordering more in the series, per my sons request.

Good buy
Format: Paperback
My previous reluctant reader is now a big reader. This series has helped. Both my boys 9 & 12 have enjoyed this series. Another series in addition to this, if looking to expand once you have all the titles, is Nathan's Hales Hazerdous Tales.

Concise, well researched and objective; a great homeschool resource
This is a great read; sufficiently detailed to be worth the time spent, but not so bogged down in minutia that you find yourself wondering how long the chapter is going to go on and glancing ahead to see if it ends with a quiz. Particularly notable is the prose: flowing, easy to read, a comfortable narrative. You get a sense of the author relaxed in an easy chair, his audience gathered about, attentive ears regaled with true tales of valor, intrigue, and conquest. But you will find no glorification of war between these covers; rather a well-balanced rendering of man at his best within his worst.
“Great Battles” is well researched, factual, and untainted with retroactive speculation and subjective parochialism that pervade some of today’s ‘historical’ accounts. In short, a valuable addition to any homeschool or military historian’s library; highly recommended.

FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
