What is a good lightweight ground tarp to get ?
I have a Maxpedition Falcon II and for my shelter I have a SOL Escape Thermal Bivvy and Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xtherm sleeping pad.
I want to keep this as a lightweight bag with a shelter that can be setup for ground sleeping. I have another camping style bag for hammock camping in the woods. But this bag is more for a situation where I wont be in the woods and I dont have tree's around to hang a hammock.
If I were to sleep in a building with this setup I would not need a Tarp.
The thermal sleeping air mattress and the thermal bivvy would be good, but if I was outside on ground without tree's I would need the tarp for some top cover.
So I need a tarp that comes with poles or can use poles for a ground setup. And is still light and just big enough for one person with a sleeping pad and bivvy sack.
Currently I have a Causality Tarp in the pack. The kind with one side that is reflective. But with that I would need to be setup between tree's and run a ridgeline. And that is an ok to do it where I live because we have alot of tree's but it would be nice to have an option that is lighter, packs smaller and will be able to be setup without tree's.
