What does it actually weigh? Poly tarps are typically 2x heavier than sil.

I love setting up my tarp high sitting in the hammock and watching the rain. At the same time everyone else is laying in the water in their tent. Good times.

laid out flat is the what shape is the sportsman's guide tarp? I'm just wondering how well it would cover my BMBH.

I, too, would like to know the weight - anyone have the info?

Thanks in advance!

heh. Everything has been asked before.

The magic answer seems to be 21 - 22 oz. Not bad. The only prob I could see would be the coating eventually peeling off, but can't beat the price.

Thanks Lori - I had seen that thread before but had assumed those weights were for the 9x9 - do you know if they apply to the 12x12 as well?

I don't have scales to weigh it, but lifting different cans of food in the cuboard, it's around about the same as a can of crushed pineapple (20oz)
And that would be my totally unscientific answer!!!

what about eno hammock tarps??
