Sounds gay, but I always thought one of those collapsible umbrellas would be a smart move for at least getting shelter out of the rain. If I wasn't scared of getting zapped by lightning, I would have tried it by now. Especially in the mountains where a storm rolls over the hill, you could get under a tree, have a snack under your umbrella and wait it out.
If you do, please dont be offended if I see you and break out in a fit of uncontrollable laughter. But on the other hand you may have a great idea there (the camo parasol) to sell to all the spandex hunter types, you might become a multi millionaire..
To sell it would have to be made of graphite and spandex, and cost about 5 times as much as a regular parasol.
It's actually a pretty nice tarp.
