Hey All!
Any suggestions or the best type, or make your own, seprate fly for sheltered cooking in the rain? About to head on a multi in the next few weeks with 3-4 people so trying to source a nice light option so we can cook communally.
Thanks

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Hi ak,
I use a WE (Wilderness Equipment) one when doing guiding trips. I use the 3x4 metre ones, great for groups and so handy to sleep under too! I just got back from the overland sleeping under one. They are pretty reasonably priced too.

Despite the extra weight when with a group ( and especially with kids ) bigger is better with this application, I used a 4m*3m when i had my kids a few years ago and kept wishing it was twice the size, also take an extra pole; you don't always have trees in exactly the right spot
Ve are too soon old und too late schmart

I always take a separate fly - normally 3x4m. Made first one from 1oz sailcloth -about 600g. Recently given an integral designs silitarp 2. It's 2.8x 3.5m I think and only ~450g. Even better, and more w/proof than the sail cloth.
Lovely to have somewhere to stand when it's bucketing down rain.
