Dangerous thing to say around here. I thought the same thing when I bought my first tarp and now I own 5i will never i repeat never get another tarp
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I'm glad to hear you are liking yours, I just received mine (along with the BB and underquilt) Monday, so I haven't had a chance to try them out yet - but I am impressed with how compact everything is.
I'm almost afraid to really unfold everything out and try it, I probably won't be able to neatly fold it back up for carrying with me.
Big fan of the Superfly here. Me and that thing go way back.
Still, I'm with gunner76 on the "never" bit. A Superfly was one of my very first tarps, but it sure wasn't my last.
Anybody want to start a friendly betting pool?
Trust nobody!

Sure. I'll bet your Superfly this isn't the only tarp she buys.

Got my superfly earlier this week, have to say I am amazed at the weight and construction! just got done rigging all the guylines up with braided masons line and shockcord loops ..all larksheaded on and have four 8 ft shockcords for the pull outs. just ordered some zing it from dutch thinking that will be better then the masons line.. i had it set up in winter mode and just a frame mode.. LOVE IT!!!!!!!! that and my new switchback are going with me this weekend..
sometimes gear is my best friend..

I said the same thing about my setup and I am sticking to.....ooooooo the ridge runner is out...and that cloudburst tarp......ummmmmm, yeah, just forget I said anything!
