    Hello mate, just curious as to why you hated the tarptent? I was looking at that exact model

      I really wanted to like it. But why didn't I like it? So many reasons... As my hiking buddy Neighbor Dave said, it's just a large bivy. It ws very small inside. I'm onlyu 5'8' (1.27m) on a good day. The only way I could sit up was to have my back to the door. Had to practically crawl on my belly through the tiny door. It was difficult to get a good, tight pitch. It packs bigger than it should (Dynema). Very narrow at the foot end. I've decided that 26 square feet (2.4 sq meters) is the minimum useable floor space I can live in on trail. I guess I'm just not a "minimalist gram weanie" willing to give up comfort to save 8 ounces. Thanks for asking. Love to hear from viewers.
