That's an excellent site for tarp info.
I think this would just THE tarp to use for it too...
USMC Field Tarp

This versatile tarpaulin is made from ripstop nylon and can be used in the field as a multipurpose item.

It is waterproof, quiet, lightweight, durable, flame resistant, abrasion resistant and non-reflective. The intended uses include, but are not limited to, ground cover, sunshade, gear cover, field litter, rain/wind garment, or hasty shelter. This Field Tarp is easily stored, light to carry, and quickly ready for use. Genuine USMC Issue.

In case the pic doesn't load...

Ok, it may be a chunk of change to lay out for just a "Tarp" but it is very versitile. (I made my own using a layer of thin three color desert pat nylon fabric on one side, and waterproof nylon fabric in woodland on the other side. I then reinforced tha eyelet areas with a third layer of fabric in 4" triangles. All double-sewn and sealed seams. It rolls up pretty tight and doesn't weight that much,(I spent less than half of what they're asking for that USMC tarp in materials, including the eyelets and seam-sealer).
IHTH
