Glassing/Bivy Tarp Advice

[Ten Bears]

Heading solo into Unit 45 New Mexico for Archery Elk this year and I am contemplating bringing a small glassing/bivy tarp along. I am packing in with my Cimmaron and I want the ability to spike out from there if need be for a night or two and stay light.

Can anyone recommend a solid lightweight tarp that won't break the bank.

Thanks-
John

Here’s about as cheap as you can get for something that’s reasonable quality, but it’s definitely on the heavy side.

Kifaru Sheep Tarp is much lighter but smaller, still not bad for $100.

I have a sheep tarp and I like it. Try Bear Paw Wilderness designs. I would have ordered one from them, but I procrastinated and needed one right away and went with the Kifaru.

I’ve got a Sheep Tarp for my small tarp and a BearPaw Wilderness 8x10 for my large tarp. Both work exceptionally well for their intended uses.

I keep eyeballing the My Trail ponch tarp. 7 ounces and $69.....

I have been looking for the same thing. What do you think would be good size for two guys to sit under and glass? I was thinking an 8x10 but if we could go smaller then great.
