Questions on tarps & how to go about it all

[JalapeñoBen]

I have a Warbonnet Edge tarp and it works perfectly with my BB.

It's really easy to spend a lot on a tarp, and there are so many it can be intimidating when you first start. My personal goals for finding a tarp were :

Adequate coverage for 3 season camping.
Under 100 including all tie outs, ridge line, and shipping. (total package)
Under 10oz if possible.

I pretty much narrowed it down to the MacCat Standard and the Warbonnet Edge, the Edge had a slight edge in size, so I chose it. I ordered my ridge line/tie out equipment from Dutch. All came in under 100 bucks. Not bad imo.

One day I can afford a CF tarp... but until then, I'm very satisfied with what I have. Try to narrow yourself down to specific goals in tarps and it will help you choose. It will also help you realize what you really want from your tarp!

We also use the HH Hex. And again the price increase to weight savings ratio as compared to sil-nylon was to much too justify the sil...for me.
The HH Hex gives great coverage on our HH Expeditions, we just use the stock lines.

I have a HH hex tarp also that is stock. Some have said it doesn't pack well but I don't see it, I pack this thing down small with a little extra effort. Weight wise yes there are many options that are lighter, but if you are looking to get out and have a versatile 3 season tarp, with good coverage you cant go wrong with this tarp!!!
