From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Black Diamond Betamid Shelter (Spring 2008) A durable floorless shelter designed for the backcountry, the Betamid by Black Diamond provides shelter from rain, snow, wind and sun, year after year. The canopy is built with polyurethane-coated ripstop nylon with factory-taped seams and a single zippered entry with storm flap. It pitches taut and is fast and easy to set up and break down with seven stake outs and two adjustable length trekking or ski poles (not included). The floorless design lets you cook and eat dinner without worrying about spilling on the floor. For a three-season shelter, the Betamid can be used with the Beta Bug."
From Backcountry.com:
"The versatile Black Diamond Betamid is a favorite shelter for a wide range of users from ultralight backpackers to expedition mountaineers. Though it weighs only 2lb 4oz, the Betamid gives you a massive 34.7sq feet of floor space. If you're camping on snow, dig out the snow under the Betamid to make a nice plush kitchen or meeting area in base camp. A waterproof polyurethane-coated ripstop nylon material makes this Black Diamond shelter tough enough to hold off both rain and snow on your local trails or in some distant mountains."
From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Black Diamond Betamid TarpFor those starry nights when you might just wake up to a morning rain, or you're one of those people that don't need a full-size tent when you go backpacking, the Black Diamond Betamid Tarp might just suit you. Weighing only about two pounds, the Betamid Tarp will fit into your pack easily, but it does a surprisingly good job at keeping out the rain, and we've heard even snow and wind. The Betamid Tarp canopy is made from a polyuerethane-coated 70-denier ripstop nylon, and it's well-crafted to Black Diamond standards, so you can be assured it will last years and years of wear and tear. The optional "bathtub" detachable floor is nice during rain and since it adds only 1.25 additional pounds it's easy to carry along. A durable Black Diamond Tarp to enhance your camping experience.
