Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
Pretty simple question but do folks have a preference for a silnylon tarp size? I'm thinking of picking one up to keep in my pack for when it rains and I'm out glassing or sitting. Seems 8x10 or 10x10 are the more common sizes. It would be for two people as I have a younger son who is now coming with me on hunts.

We used 7'x10' siltarps, one each for our fly in sheep hunt, we put them together to make an over night tent once, worked ok, could have been a hair bigger but good enough to sleep for the night, I used it to keep dry in a few surprise rain squalls when out hiking for the day.
Theres a guy in Comox that sells them EBAY.CA

i just ordered the last 10x7’ guide model he had on eBay. The aqua quest website says they’re a company from courtenay for the last 25 years, but I’ve never heard of them.

You can also buy the aquaquest tarps on Amazon.

Rob, you are very tall and will need more coverage than an average guy, IMHO. I have several of these in various sizes and MUCH prefer the 10x12 dimensions which keep my ancient azz dry.
Re: Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
Definitely don’t skimp on size. I’m 6’5” and need some extra coverage when the weather comes at you sideways. And you know it will.
Re: Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
Im looking at the 10x10 from Lite Outdoors from AB but have read some good reviews about the Aqua Quest tarps. I'll check them out too. The pitch options with the 10x10 seem easier/better than 8x10 as well. Much appreciated everyone!
Re: Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
Both Lite Outdoors and Aqua Quest are Canadian companies...good! Anyone have positive or negative experiences with either? Leaning towards Aquaquest now...
Re: Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
Damn. I just ordered a seek outside dst a couple days ago. Would've been nice to support cdn.
Re: Silnylon Tarp Size Recommendation
The Aqua Quest dry bags look pretty sweet. And reasonably priced. I'm think a couple of those are going to find their way into my pack soon.
