What pack tarp is everyone using?

[madeinusa4]

Hey guys- was sitting in the rain and snow last season. Looking to get out of the weather. What type/brand/size tarps you guys using for glassing and/or for a sleep setup?

Seek Gunnison 9oz about 6'x 9' or DST 9' x 10' 19oz . Both are money.

+1 on the SO Gunnison tarp. Packs down to almost nothing. I keep it in my pack at all times.

I have a GoLite poncho that I can convert into a smaller A frame pup tent style shelter.

Kifaru paratarp now. Used to just carry a 99 cent poncho, but a Colorado hail storm convinced me to upgrade

The VIAM multi-cloth will work for a shorter duration of rain. It will eventually saturate & leak, but Im already carrying it for a meat tarp & ground cloth so it pulls weather duty when needed

Kifaru Sheep Tarp. Well made, and perfect for one person/gear.

EXPED Solo Tarp lives in my pack no matter if I"m out for a day or a week.

I carry the Kifaru sheep tarp. I don't use it for shelter other than if weather moves in or I accidentally kill something and need a clean place to lay the meat.

10 by 10 cuben made by bear paw. 8.5 oz with lots of tie outs.

May look into the pouncho/tarp option too.

Is that the 6x9 in you picture?

That's the DST . The Gunnison is always packed for the whatevers.

Rab Silwing - weighs about 10 oz and is a good size for just one person. Does well in the wind. I've really liked it and will look at other Rab tarps in the future.

X2 on the 6x9 jimmy tarp. Good for everything. Hammock tarp, glassing and pup tent. Small enough you don’t really ever feel like you shouldn’t bring it and big enough two can sit under and glass.

I use an Outdoor Vitals tarp. Packs down small and really, really easy to set up.

I really like that DST, I was planning on taking a tent and setting that up and having a tarp with me at all times.

Have you used the GoLite Poncho for very long? Any comments? I'm just starting to think about adding a poncho into my gear as my rain gear/emergency shelter.

Kifaru Sheep Tarp here too. Has kept me dry and out of the weather numerous times over the past few years. Weighs almost nothing, takes seconds to set up and take down, packs small, and is waterproof. Really a great setup for one hunter.
