Hello Everyone,
I went through the same dilemma of bivy + tarp vs tent. I ended up with a
Swift by Walrus. The real weight of the tent in my pack is 3lb. A friend
uses the Gossamer by Eureka. His weights 2lb 8oz packed. Both tents have
room for a pack inside, privacy, plus some wiggle room. The weight difference
is about the same as most bivy combos. Only one question I never found an
answer too. Is, how do both compare on puncher resistance? Do you need a
ground cloth or not?
Take care..............
See your at the Gathering
