Looking to get into this whole ultralight thing but I am a broke soon to be grad student so I need to keep costs down (probably won't be doing cuben fiber for a while).
Tried out the old 5×8 blue poly tarp this past weekend and it was fine for a weekend but definitely not going to work long term. Realized 9×9 was probably the best for my size (6'1 ish on a good day) and for playing around with different pitches.
Looking into different options, seems like all these makers are pretty good for a 9×9 tarp and comparable in terms of price. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with any of these tarps and had any preference over the others.
My biggest issue with some of these is that some have several weeks wait time. Really want to support smaller cottage manufacturers but I am also annoyingly impatient and have some trips coming up soon so I don't want to have to wait too long for a tarp unless it's worth it. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks thanks~
