    Fire Resistant Tarp For... a Fire!

    Hey guys,

    I've been thinking about carrying an extra tarp to provide a shelter for my fire in rainy environments.

    My 1st thought was just to get another WL Tadpole/WB Edge/MacCat Std and pitch it over my fire location hoping I put it high enough to not catch sparks.

    Then I started googling for Fire Resistant Tarps. The only thing I found was this:
    http://www.bushcraftoutfitters.com/M...T-multicam.htm
    It is 5'x7', rectangle, and weighs 16 oz. Not too bad.

    Here is a youtube video comparing its fire retardant properties against a urethane tarp (which should be better than a silnylon tarp I believe)

    Anyone have any thoughts on the subject of material?

    Also, anyone have any thoughts on the shape of the tarp for this application (just to have a fire under and sit under)?

    Thanks,
    Sean
