How do you fold this? - Sea to Summit Escapist Tarp

HooKooDooKu's Review of Sea to Summit Escapist Tarp
What you Get:
* Tarp with 8 tie-off points (corners and centers) each with:
1. Built-in rubber grommets,
2. Attached 'quick cord adjusters' (that really do work), and
3. Color coded guyline (6 of them are 5' long, two are 7' long).
The guylines waste a few inches with over-sized pre-tied loops on one end, but they are easily untied and retied the way you'd like them.
* Stuff Sack
I've read other reviews that claimed the stuff sack was too small to get the tarp back in, but I didn't have any issue with it's size.
But I did have issues with deciding how to try to fold it. The reinforced rubber grommets at the corners and at the center are about 3" to 4" wide and not designed to be folded. As a result, I wasn't able to do the "natural" thing I would do with a large sheet... fold it in half and half again as many times needed til I had something to roll up.
Instead, I had to do an off-set fold (both directions) to avoid folding the grommets. But with a little trial-an-error, I was able to get it folded down to something I could easily roll up and place back in the stuff sack with ease.
My only concern for this tarp is durability. At only 15D fabric, it's crazy light weight compared to most other tarps. But I fear that means it might easily get damaged from falling tree debris. So I definitely would not want to use this as my primary shelter without having something with me to repair it. But my intended purpose for this tarp is to have an extra spot to get out of the rain... a place to set your gear down and be able to cook when it's raining without being stuck in your tent.
Pros:
Light weigh
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
extra shelter
Would Recommend:
Yes
