Opinions on tarp

No affiliation but why not stay with warbonnet. I'd agree with the size thing. Try contacting Brandon, he posted this recently.

I concur with this suggestion.

Here's a couple of the Kelty Noah's 12' Tarp. The second one shows the doors closed haphazardly, they could have been closed better but I just did it hastily with some caribonees when carabiners when the wind started up.

Perfect. Didn't realize you had mentioned the doors in the first post. That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for and it's a great price.

Before I finish the order on Spamazon is there any good line on there I can add to the purchase to use for hanging the tarp (should a build a full ridgeline or just use cordage direct from the side tieouts)? I'm thinking as far as the guy lines go just using small loops of shock attached to lineloc 3s (got tons of em atm) and then doing paracord between the linelocs and the stakes. Thoughts?

I have Dutch's continuous ridgeline http://www.dutchwaregear.com/continuous-ridgeline.html which is amazing, it makes it really really easy to hang and center the Tarp, and I'm a total newb.

Also I have the Hennessy Snake Skin XL https://hennessyhammock.com/products/snakeskins-xl which make setting up and putting away the Tarp even easier, especially in windy conditions because you can just open one side at a time and deploy half the tarp. You could also hang the tarp all the time and it's out of the way and will only come down when you need it.

I know these additions add to the price but they really make a world of difference. My brother bought me the Kelty Noah when it was on sale for $35 and that was a steal but even at $53 it's definitely worth it.

Since we all invariably wind up giving Dutch our pay checks anyway....I also have these http://www.dutchwaregear.com/tarpworm.html his hookworms with shock cord and yellow zing it. Again, they're not necessarily vital but they make it really really easy.

I'm sorry about your wallet :-)

At this point I'm really only car camping so the weight isn't a concern.

So get a 12x12' blue builder's tarp.
Get a bigger tarp for less.
