Howdy!
I was asked to do a talk for the Boy Scout troop on backpacking in general. A number of the boys have started hanging, and at least three asked for a tarp recommendation. I have a Hennessy Hex and a Tadpole tarp, but those are both in the neighborhood of $100. I mentioned the Kelty Noah 12, blue poly tarp from the hardware store, and DIY using silnylon/silpoly from RBTR, as well as DIY kits. But I don't think I quite satisfied the questioner. I think he was looking for cheap, good enough, and not DIY.
If you were approached by a teenager with limited income, who already had a hammock, pad and sleeping bag, for a tarp recommendation, what would you offer them?
