Ultralight Backpacking with a TARP

The Twinn Tarp is minimalist weather protection with plenty of room for you or two. Compact enough to fit in your pocket - it sets up easily with a couple of trekking poles for 47 square feet of custom formulated, high-tenacity, centenary cut waterproof protection.

Bugs, yeah. Rain, no problem. Sitting is simple, raise it up. Bugs? Use a bug bivy

"It's about the weight of a quarter of a liter of water" might just be the second dumbest thing I've ever heard 😂😂
And the dumbest one is that you just named a tarp a tent. No walls, no floor, no bug net I actually can't🤣

Start out with selling a tent and bate and switch with a cheap $130 tarp. Gossamergear does it again

"Ultralight back packing TENT" then becomes a "TARP" !? Which is what it is.
But I will look up definitions.

Tarps are awesome until there are bugs or rain. Also, you can’t sit up in them. They have their place, though.
