I had a look at the Oware site, and some online reviews. Looks like you have a great tarp. I can't believe how light these sil-nylon tarps are -- wish those were available in my backpacking days.

I don't believe there's anything unusual or extra-special about this tarp, though. Tarps have been standard gear for ages, and always require a little creativity when setting up. But the weight and flexibility advantages more than make up for that. The advice you will get from any solid backpacking source will serve you well.

Nice hands-on review here, based on long term use: http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/...Gail%20Staisil/
