Ultralight meat tarp

[mtnbound]

I carry a heavier-weight survival blanket that works well, cleans easily, and serves as a multipurpose item.

That is good advice. Maybe I’ll just use my light weight sea to summit 55L dry bag that I never take then I won’t have to clean my pack later either!

The garbage bag is cheap, can be thrown away when done, lightweight, and costs very little.

Good luck in your search!!!

Just get the mylar emergency blankets. They’re like $2 a piece in a pack.

Did it once.

Since I already have the tape measure and scale out, I got some details on the compactor bags I bought at Ace years ago. They are actually 3x4' when opened up and 2.8 oz. Disposable and multi purpose in a pinch.

I have a Base Kamp meat tarp, its light, works well and is reusable

I use ripstop nylon to make my game bags and ground cloth for meat. Tough, breathable and light.

I used an old shower curtain the wife threw out. 6’ squared.

These https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085NLPPGM are like 0.6oz apiece, can be sliced open to use as tarps (or just spread as is for a single meat bag), have no chemicals/perfumes, clean easily (but you don't need to because you can just throw them out or compost them), are so cheap that one box will last your (probable) lifetime, and can double as pack liners for meat pack-outs. They aren't perfect - a lot depends on your goals - but I've used them for a few years now and they work well for me.

One of these - really light and tucks right in my kill kit. Big enough to lay both a mule deer on then the quarters as you pop 'em off...if you remember to get it out before you start:


Forgot to roll the deer on it last time! Doh! But we set the qtrs and bits on it to cool waiting to bag up:
