This is an incredible tarp. Has been carried several times, but never actually used. Weight 7.4oz in the storage bag. 5x8. The corners that are seam taped are peeling. I"ve been waiting for them to completely peel, then was just going to seam seal them...do not impact use currently. The velcro on 3 edges makes it possible to make an emergency bivy sack. Covered hole in the center was designed for alpine/climbing ascents where you might have to tie in while using it--It works as a great tie out spot with a toggle on the inside. $75 TYD via paypal.
