Good idea!

I love that little tarp. Used it like a Grizz-Beak a few weeks ago and it kept all the winds outta my tarp all night (temps ~18*, windchills 8*).

I use 55-gallon contractor grade trash can liners... Ideally, the bags should be at least four mils thick. It's multi purpose and the bag can be split to make a good-sized ground cover.

Now in the winter A cheap 2$ reinforced polyethylen tarp. I use the same tarp to pack my stuff on the pulk in, so it does not need to be light. And they are nice and strong.

I need to pick up something... might try the Wal-Mart tarp. I've been bringing a piece of Reflectix which I also use as a sit mat. But I quickly found that in winter, standing on that piece of Reflectix on the snow is hazardous! =:-0 I was thinking of putting some strips of skateboard tape on the bottom of it....

Take it easy,
