We're looking for a 10 x 12 or 12 x 12 Silnylon tarp. Any recommendations?
Thanks,

p.s. is this for Philmont? I'm taking mine to use there.

p.s. I used a MYOG knockoff of his 10×10 tarp for the crew tarp at Philmont last year …. very nice.
Apr 9, 2008 at 5:33 am #1427787You don't mention if you are looking for the lightest possible weight, or want to trade off some weight for a more durable, better outfitted tarp. There are several large silnylon tarps for canoe camping (including Cooke's).
Piragis has some:
