2 person tarp for glassing moose in alaska?

[brown4christ]

I'm leaving in 2 weeks to go to Alaska on a DIY for moose, caribou and black bear. I'm looking for a lightweight waterproof tarp for 2 people while glassing that won't break the bank. I'd appreciate your recommendations!

2 weeks is awfully short notice for anything UL since many are hand made. That said, I would hit Amazon and pick up a tarp from Lite Outdoors.

I would look up Borah Tarps. Give them a call, 6x9 was $50 and 8oz. They may have some stocked and ship fast. I had more tie downs added to mine and it came in 2 weeks.

I agree it is short notice. I didn't realize that most are hand made with a ship time of 3-4 weeks. thanks for the recommendation.

Kelly Noah comes in 9x9 and should be available at many outdoor brick and mortar stores. Slumberjack has something similar also.

I'll take a look at the Borah! That's definitely light weight. Thanks coop22250.

BearPaw Wilderness Deisgns will have what you want and get it to you in time. They even have a few tarps in the bargain bin that will save you some cash and work nicely.

Here's a thread I posted in the "Lightweight Zone". I'm using my Eno Hammock Rainfly tarp on my fly in trip to Alaska this year. I've been field testing this design and has worked great for me. There are lighter weight options for sure, but you can order this off Amazon and it'll be light and to your door soon.

The pictures shown are with two of us so we have 4 trekking poles and 2 tripods, but I've substituted with branches and stumps and works equally as well.

I want to get the kifaru sheep tarp for exactly this purpose.

kifaru sheep tarp is a solid piece of gear from my limited experience.

BWD is a great company, and local to me. I've got the Luna 6 and a 10 x 10 tarp.
