Firstly, I have no idea about tarps, but I need one. That is where you all come in with your sage wisdom.
Size:
large enough to just cover my 2p tent (either BA Copper Spur or Lanshan2)
and
Have enough room to allow my vestibule on one side to be at least partially open in most weather and shelter 2 x goats. Weird I know.
My goats do water crossings no problems and actually swim and splash if given the chance (see drowned rat goat photo attached in this post) but they think they will melt if asked to sleep in the rain. They will settle quietly if they are within visual range of me (hence the vestibule being open) and the closeness will also allow me to watch for wild dogs etc but I don't want them close enough that they mess with my guy ropes or keep me awake all night with their incessant burping.
Weight:
As light as possible without needing to rob a bank
Set Up:
Hit me with ideas! What configuration is best? Will I need to carry additional poles or use trees?
Product suggestions, set up advice etc will be very much appreciated.
