Two tarps is a choice always... but I prefer to have more weight in one bigger tarp than two smaller ones....

And yes it snowed Saturday past, no accumulation, just pretty flakes...

Currently have a 12x10 sil tarp, looking at maybe going 13x12 for the next one. DIY style. I have a bunch of Spinn fabric, and clear sail mylar, (Kite making supplies!!!) plus some other choices (Camo!!) I can do DIY sil coating on....

To me even a 2 lb tarp is UL. I still marvel at how light the hammock and tarp combo is compared to my 10lb tent...

Bulk bothers me more than weight generally since its space in the pack thats at a premium.
