Two tarpology questions:
Where is a good place to get myself educated on using tarps, especially for car camping? I have watched a few youtube videos, but wouldn't mind some text with drawings.
Who makes a tarp that doesn't sacrifice strength or durability for being lightweight? Since I'm car camping with a 3/4 ton pickup with a cap, I'm not so willing to make sacrifices for weight- or volume-saving. I want something really durable. I'm aware of the Kelty and MSR tarps, and know I can use generic tarps, but does anyone make something using heavier cloth than the typical backpacking tent, with plenty of tie-off options?
