    If you want to make one than the Black Cat tarp is a nifty one to make.

    I made a cat cut, and skimped on the fabric for weight. Don't do that. I would love doors now. Go bigger than you think you will need. It doesn't add THAT much weight, and if it is really monstrous, you can cut it back later.
    It's better to be lucky, than good!
