What size is your tarp?

[Bearbonesnorm]

I'm just being nosey ... what size tarp do you use for ground based excursions, 1.5m x 2.5m, etc.

Alpkit Rig7 for everything, floor - swinging the lot :D

Tera Nova Comp 1, 1.5 x 2.5. My very first tarp.

Why are you being nosey?

[Nick]

Think my Golite Poncho tarp is 1.5 x 2.4

[Anthony]

Another 1.5 x 2.5 here. Siltarp1

I think 2 x 2.5 would be a handy size though, giving slightly more pitch options.

I'm the same as Anthony, 2.5x1.5 sil tarp.

Spent yesterday night under it, and found it a bit snug. Not sure how it would work in heavy rain. 2.5x2m might be the best compromise over packsize/shelter space

Just spent last night on the Brown Clee under one of Bobs duo tarps,2.4x2.9 from Backpacking Light,loads of room for 1.He also has the Solo and Micro tarps back in stock

Alpkit bicycle 7

Mine too. 2.4x2.8m, according to the specs. Maybe a bit big, but loads of room for one and just enough for two.

I always think a square tarp is more versatile than a rectangular one but it seems like most tarp manufactures don't agree ... so I just wondered what everyone was using.

[Ray Young]

I agree. When I was looking for a tarp the only square ones I could find were 3m x 3m, bit big for just one person. I also think that a 1.5 x 2.5 limits set ups, unless of course any one knows different.

On last years WRT I managed to stay dry over two wet nights with the golite poncho, but I didn't have any room to move about, but it's light and packs to nothing so I'm happy to live with it.
