I have been pondering this for some time and if it was three yards it would be an easy tarp, but two yards is all I got.
I don't need any rain gear.
I might do this with an additional 2.5 yards of white cuban.
It would measure about 8'5" in front x about 9' length x 6' rear.
Lot more taping but I have plenty of tape and black cuben for the tie out points.
I could also go for a bivy.
Thoughts –
Make matching backpacks for you and your hiking partner. 1yard each. John Roan has instructions here: http://www.mountainultralight.com/2011/09/make-your-own-cuben-fiber-backpack.html?m=1
What do you use for a shelter? It is too small for a standalone tarp, but you could make one heck of a nice porch for your shelter with it.
I have a MLD Monk Tarp in cuben that, if I'm expecting a very rainy outing when I'm taking my Gatewood Cape, I bring along and turn it into a front porch for the Gatewood.
Having a porch like that makes cooking in the rain with a minimalist shelter much nicer.
How thick is it? It would make a unique backpack. You don't see too many yellow cuben baqckpacks.
It's the .74 oz. so it could be flooring for a net tent or a bivy OR a backpack.
I have a cuben Zimmerbuilt pack though and it fits all my needs.
I have a UL Bivy and I don't use it much.
I could make a bivy/bug net.
I have been playing with some ideas of combining the two.
