4 mill plastic works great for a shelter and lasts longer than you may expect. Grometts can be made by glue gunning a hard plastic square(2"x2")and then duct tape. I then make a hole for a 6" ring nail or a tie string. Mason line has held good for me.

2 -8'x10'tarps can be put together. I use large paper clips clamped on the rolled up edges of the tarp to close the entry.The sil nylon tarps Phat mentioned and a lighter version of my stove/chimney (24 ounces). would make a light allweather shelter.

This stove chimney weighs 2 lbs

Stove jack can be put in any tarp with a jack knife

Chimney up
6 hours of wood
