Canvas is much heavier than a poly tarp it is much more rugged but if ur packing in go for the lightweight poly

9lbs and also very unwieldy when cold. Also the residue will get all over and stain your gear. I would not recommended this for backpacking.

Hello John,This is a heavy tarp; not appropriate for backpacking. I could see using it camping out of a car or truck. It is meant for outdoor use. It has a bit of an odor, that waterproofed canvas smell. It's a quality, heavy weight tarp. I play ice hockey and shoot into it for practice. It will take a fair bit of abuse. Good luck,Gary Schoepfel

Very heavy for the size. You would probably do better with something lighter.

Way to heavy like 10lb go with a sil nylon with ties might cost more but smaller and lighter for that purpose.

Idk. Few lbs. even loaded it handles the weight fine. The pack is designed to carry weight on the back.

This tarp is much heavier & tear resistant. I've used it multiple times under a family size tent for protection from the ground. There has been a small amount of unraveling of threads o/w it's as good as new. It'll outlast the use you listed for purposes you haven't realized you'll need it for in the future.

My answer would be a guess of 8 pounds, maybe more. It is big and bulky. I would definitely not want to pack this bag into the woods. However, I would not want any other bag if I were tent camping down to 32 degrees in a dry environment. It is cloth. With that in mind, this bag is perfect in every way. I use it with a fleece liner.

I have backpacked, and wouldn't want to carry this. It's light weight, suitable for backpacking, but the poles fold only in half, which make the package unwieldy to carry. It is very durable and stayed dry in light rain, but I would recommend a small tarp and a good ground cloth for my dogs.

Definitely too heavy for backpacking. I'd guesstimate it weights 15-20 pounds.

It's a little heavy perhaps - we didn't think it was too bad and if you're a seasoned hiker / camper, it won't worry you at all. The size would be the main concern, as it's pretty long, but the legs do fold up nicely to make it far thinner. Hope this helps - we are still using ours, works great, nice quality, we haven't had any issues with it at all.

Not around to weigh, but it is a bit heavy. Ok for hauling short distances, but definitely not a back packing model.

I used the tarp for covering my long pile of stacked firewood. I stack the firewood on wooden pallets and tie it down with a long rope by alternating between the grommets and the pallets. The tarp fabric is typical nylon tarp fabric - not too light and not too heavy. I installed it this fall and it's held up well to a couple very windy winter-like days. So far, it's served the purpose of coveriing my firewood at the top and allowing air flow on the sides.

It is sturdy like a windbreaker fabric - possibly a bit heavier - what is nice is it is not bulky and crinkly like the cheap poly tarps - You need to use a sleeping pad between you in the ground. We purchased KYMAC sleeping pads - the size of a grapefruit when in it's pouch. Blows up in about 20 puffs of air - INSULATES and Stayed inflated ALL NIGHT - amazing. Use the tarp and that pad and you will sleep like a baby.

It is heavy and I have not used it yet. I planned on using it on the go, however it's not practical to load and unload.I will have to set it up in a permanently location.

It will work just fine. It the same material as the blue tarps you find in the big box store just heaver duty. I cover my boat with it in the rain and use it for camping and it has held up very well, still doing its job.

It is flimsy but not too heavy. Go with the Coleman. It fell apart the second time I used it

This tent is intended for car camping, at around 7.5 lbs. it's not light weight. It may be OK for short backpacking trips, but you wouldn't want to carry it for days. Look for a tent designed for back packing, they cost more but weigh half of this one.

I have an extra tarp stuffed in the carry case it came with and it's 18x6x6. The standard stuff is very lightweight, maybe 2lb max, more if you add your own stakes (which I highly recommend)

The one I purchased is 16 mil thick. I have opened the package to check but have yet to use the tarp. It is lightweight and great for that
