I'm with Pan & jaiden on this. Those blue tarps are heavy and bulky. OK for car camping but for backpacking the JRB 8X8 and 10X11 tarps, on sale, are the way to go. The sale price is such that I couldn't justify making my own ( and I make most of my gear) I'd buy a 10X11 if my wife didn't know how many tarps I already have.
