OB,

The silnylon tarp would serve double duty for me.  I got a Packa and would
use the small tarp to wrap my pack in if I needed to take my pack off in bad
weather.  Also, I could use the silnylon to wrap around myself in my
sleeping bag for additional warmth.  Ya think?

It could also serve as an outdoor shower stall using a water bag with sun
heated water for the shower.

Hmm...lot of uses here!  LOL
