What kinds of fly / tarp are you using?

[JV3]

hardware store 6'x8' tarp...forgot the brand but it was around $4:

bushcraftusa 5'x7' coyote brown:

bushcraftusa 10'x10' coyote brown:

o.p.s.e.c. multicam poncho:

3.5 mil plastic sheeting from the hardware store:

i just received the bushcraftusa 5'x7' multicam but haven't used it yet...i like to experiment with various tarps & shelter configs

I really like the look of the 10x10...plenty of room for different configurations and more than one person.
I am considering the multicam simply for the extra coating properties...it says FR, but I would assume that would make the waterproofing a bit more durable as well.
JV3, since you have both a multicam and "regular" tarps from BCUSA, can you weigh in on this?

Campmor 10x10 coated nylon.

Nice setup! I use the same thing!

yes, the multicam version feels thicker/more heavy duty and the coating feels slippery.
