This year for my PCT hike, my partner and I are trying to piece together a tarp and bug netting system. We are interested in finding a healthy sized 2 person UL tarp that can work with the new Sea to Summit Bug Netting.

Looks like a real nice set up for 14oz. Id love to find a tarp around the same weight so my partner and I could each carry less than 1lb for our shelter.

I was looking at the Integral Designs Sil Shelter, and Sil wing. Looks like the Sil Shelter would be a little narrow at 5ft, since the netting says its 5'6'' wide.

Any ideas?

A tarp AND net for less than a pound, actually as low as half a pound.

You can fit two in a pinch, but the owner is supposedly working on a real 2 person model right now.

Idea 2: If you're going to carry everything anyway (fly, bug netting, ground cloth) why not carry it all together?
