12x10 canvas tarp

[46camper]

I’m looking for a canvas tarp 10x12 . I will be using it for camping also as my shelter .
With that in mind I need it to have plenty of grommets and ties . Using it as a a frame shelter most of the time . I will also use it at times for covering my shelters that I make in the woods .
I would like to know any brands or companies that any of guys would recommend.

the backpackers DIY theirs out of tyvek & mylar sheeting - eazy enough to sew and add the grommets ....

Tyvek and mylar are awesome lightweight fabrics. The downside is crinkle noise. Drove me nuts. I use a snugpac bansha "I think it's called" if I go hammock camping.

you need to get ahold of garment quality Tyvek to get the softer uncrinkable - either that or you just wash it plenty to get it more pliable .....

Or go buy a roll of house wrap, cut as desired, wash...

That would be an expensive rain suit. Just go to a new construction and dig some out of the dumpster or cut a 4x8 piece off the house (those dang kids) it's like $150 per roll and so much gets thrown away is ridiculous

actually glue welds excellently - use PVC pipe cement - wipe any excess off to keep the seams white Tyvek and not pizz yellow ....

I’m not over concerned about weight I also have a decent light weight tarp. Plus I have ways of transporting it and other gear to where I’m going . The canvas tarp would be part of a winter bug out system also for longer term stay .
If I go the canvas tent route the tent would be a small hunter tent in 7x7x7 size and would also be used for hunting.
Most of my winter longer term bug out gear isn’t very light weight so a sled or bike 4 wheeler would be used .
That being said plan for SHTF is to stay home .
The tent or tarp would be used for a week or less for supply run or hunt to feed my group .
