>>2027264If you're looking for a nice, relatively inexpensive backpacking tarp you should look into the borah gear silpoly 7x9 tarp. Borah gear is a one man operation in Montana and makes quality gear. John is super helpful and responds to emails quickly. He does all kinds of custom work to if needed. Highly recommend.
I personally use the zpacks dcf 7x9 tarp, but if I wanted a silpoly tarp I would get it from John. There's also Yama mountain gear as well, but I haven't personally bought anything from them. I hear good things though.
I hope you enjoy your exploration into tarp camping.
