Thanks. Was just over there looking after I posted the follow up this AM. And I know this has been hashed pretty regularly over there on Kifaru-another "30-06" question of the ParaTipi vs SuperTarp w/annex thing.

Patrick was actually nice enough to send me his personal ParaTipi to try, but I got caught up last summer and only assembled it to see the dimensions.

I am a shorter guy at 5'8", so I am not sure the difference in center height of 56" vs 52" matters to me that much. Other than height diff, is there anything else major that seperates the ParaTipi from the SuperTarp w/ annex?

I have heard several bitch about the stove placement right in the middle with the ParaTipi, and it looks like the Super w Annex fixes that problem with little or no drawbacks?

I see the weights are WAY off in comparision, but I think it's because the Super assumes you are going to use the trekking poles that you already have with you???

Thanks for your time and effort.

Tim-you west side or east side?


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