I own a 10'x10' siltarp, which weighs 1 1/2#. I'm going to give this a try. I think this will work well for 3-season backpacking. I'm skeptical about how well it will work in winter weather.
Watch until about half-way through the video to see how it looks with the awning pulled out.
I like that. Her tarp is square. I wonder how it will work with a rectangle. The geometry could change. Around here, it could require guying out a pole since trees can be very hard to find in a usable location.
