Well this thread took a turn...
Bought a canvas tarp, treated it. Weighs a little less than 8 pounds. Heavy as fuck, but after going through 2 silnylon tarps, the weight is worth it to me IMO. Then again, I'm not a thru hiker, rather more of someone that just chills and shits in a hole for a week. A silnylon tarp and some duct tape will get you a loooooooong way, much lighter, but beware high winds and sharp sticks.
