dd,

I'm not sure what weight silnylon that is. I found it a few of years ago at Wal-Mart in the discount material bin for $1.00 a yard. It was labeled "unknown synthetic" or something like that. I bought a bunch of it. The 10X10 tarps weigh a pound and a half in the draw string stuff sacks my wife made for them. Just under two pounds with ten stakes included. I use Easton aluminum stakes and aluminum gutter nails. My wife has also made several stuff sacks and a paddle coupler from the material. This picture was taken at the same place the following year. I have used the tarps more as wind breaks than as overhead cover in Quetico. That nylon camo tarp on the right didn't fare nearly as well in the winds as my homemade model.
