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).
