Looking for suggestions on the minimal size tarp I can get away with while still offering good all weather 3 season protection using a Warbonnet asym blackbird. Ideally should protect the underside from air current/wind and precipitation for UQ.

I've been using a Spinntex MacCat in the Standard width, but in the Deluxe length specifically for my WBBB. It's worked well for me, kept me and the Yeti dry, and weighs only 8.3oz.Quote:

So what length and width would that be? (You don't expect me to work by having to look it up, do you. :) )Quote:

I think I'm gonna get a spinn one in deluxe length, just like Quoddy's.
130" long and 84" wide.:rolleyes:Quote:
