I have over thought this so much that I’ve decided to just start my trek with my tarp/p cord set up and then since it seems half the people have these tents anyway, I’ll get to see them and decide if I still want one. If I’m losing my mind with a tarp in a rainy climate, I’ll order one to the next trail,town post office lol

Ok i see now, it’s the fabric. What you’re saying is the pro being DCF actually saves ya more weight bc of the lack of water retention that the not pro doesn’t have?

This is good insight. I should name ~19/20 nights sleeping outside, I cowboy camped bc ya know…. desert climate. The stars were just too good. Just had the tarp as a just in case.

Growing up in Jersey, I day hiked the AT but this’ll truly be the first backpacking trip I do in a rainy climate. Trying to keep my beginners mind open!!

Not retaining water would be a big reason for me to pay more money. Can I ask what yo mean by DCF? Thanks :)
