    Thanks.

    Are the OES tarps still spotty on shipping or are they up and running full steam ahead? I know I can add the superfly to my WBBB order.

    DOes anyone have a picture of the superfly or Big Mamajamba set up with a porch pitch/baker's hut?

    Longer ridgelines mean your trees have to be farther apart, so this may limit you a little bit in heavily forested areas. I use the MacCat Standard and have been in a few sites where it just barely fit. If you don't need that big of a tarp (like the Ultra), why carry the weight?

    If you're going to be holed up under your tarp for days, like in winter or very heavy rains, it might be worth it get the bigger tarp.

    I've gotta agree with JJ on this. When that pic was taken the two tarps in the pic were all I owned. I also have a Maccat Standard now. Unless I'm in for some pretty inclement weather the SF stays home. But for full on winter, I love it.
