A good waterproof tarp for a tp shelter

[Aleks]

I'm looking for a good waterproof tarp that I can use as a tp shelter as well as a possible shelter roof.

You need to find one quick, there is nothing worse than soggy TP!

A Zip Lock bag will protect your TP from the weather.





Unless you meant teepee...

Ever seen the inside of a Tee-Pee after a rainstorm when they forgot to close the storm flaps?

Soggy in there too!

No matter how well you close up the smoke flaps on a Tipi....water will run down the poles, and/or thru the smoke hole.
That's why the fire pit is in the center, and you live a sleep around the outside perimeter.

Now back to the OP.....Please define a "TP shelter".

[Eastree]

TP shelters are best for minor shade, but don't actually protect from the elements. And as much as I am against littering, at least they are biodegradable.

Using a tarp to cover a TP shelter would be more than double the work; just use the tarp as the shelter, and the TP for its intended use (quite the creature comfort in the woods) and as tinder, in case you need it.

+1 with Hunter....What do you mean by a "TP shelter"? Pretty please.

Can you sew one yourself?

Well, that vid looked pretty self explanatory.....So what exactly is your question?

Looked like he was using canvas, and possible 12' X 12' ?

[finallyME]

Definitely a canvas shelter. Very Heavy!

[Aleks]

Yeah in the video he mentioned it needed to be rectangular. Also yeah I believe canvas is what I'm looking for. I have many tarps but not canvas. I knew his was a fabric unlike mine. Just wasn't sure what would be waterproof.
