For a sheet setup cheap $2.00 white bed sheets from Walmart work just fine. My quick go anywhere setup is two shepherd hooks (get ones that thick solid prongs with good welds or they will bent when going into hard ground)

Attach the sheet at all four corners so it won't flap in the wind. Then one laying on the ground in front of the upright sheet as many land on the ground and crawl up
To hold the light I use this tripod (or you can use another shepherd hook)

You will also want a mallet to help get the shepherd hooks in the ground and headlamps to see what has landed on the sheet.
