I was aware that the SuperTarp with the annex gives better stove placement at the front-which I've heard is the major drawback from the ParaTipi.

But doesn't the annex attach with either safety pins or velcro?? If so, that does not seem like a dependable system for a potential life saving shelter.

In all I appreciate the input. As stated at the onset, I know this is pretty close to a "Is the 30-06 a good gun" kind of question. But I would guess money is tight for most of us, and if not, I am sure we'd like to put it somewhere else other that 2-3 shelters that don't do what you'd like.

Doc, the above mentioned system that is working for you has been on your sheep/goat forays and been proven?


Please God, give me some good tags this year....
