So, I have a few backpacking trips under my belt with my eno profly tarp (not the tiny dry fly that most everyone seems to hate). I don't regret buying it because I had a gift card that covered most of the cost. But each time I set this thing up in the woods miles from my car, I find myself hoping that the weather doesn't turn because I feel like if I get the setup wrong and the weather turns, I may be my down quilts wet (not fun) even though it has done a good job keeping me dry in light rain. So I'm considering another tarp.
I'm looking for something that would be a little more forgiving on the set up (larger) and give some room under for prolonged rain storms which occur often here in GA. I think doors or the ability to fold in the corners would be nice for privacy and potential windy / rain cold. O yes, I'd really like to stay around the $150 range or less if possible, but realize that price usually varies inversly with weight. Also, I'm unsure of the pros and cons of the different materials.
So far I've found a few tarps that may work from Warbonnet outdoors, and possibley some from Hennessy hammocks. Although I think the hennessy ones are a little smaller. Anything else that I should be considering???
