Tarp vs Tents - 07/27/10
New guy here!!
I've been looking at the posts here in the backpacking forum and I've picked up a lot of good info.
My question is about the tarp systems the some of you use. Is it just in certain places or times that you use them or every trip? I like the TIPI type tents with the wood burning stoves but the cost and space is a factor.
I live in Georgia so I'm thinking that the bugs and things that crawl around in the night wouldn't be good sleeping under the tarp system but in Wyoming it might be the thing.
Thanks!
