i like tarps but id still probably go with a tarptent design. i hardly ever misuse my tents/tarps enough to warrant their warranty.

BUT, if i lived in somewheres really wet and went camping alot i might get one or id get a lightweight tent with a tub floor. it all depends.

for now i sitck with my intergral designs poncho/tarp!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> has the same stitching as the OES but not totally exact patterns/materials just stitching.

also i seam sealed mine....it is VERY water resistant!
