08/25/15: Doubt


Tarptent ProTrail (source)

Already wanting to change the shelter to a combo tarptent (Tarptent ProTrail, 26.0 oz, $209) for extra weight savings. It's still really cost effective at only $3.50 per oz saved. I went through my list again tonight and ended up at a base weight of about 18.6 lbs, higher than I want. I added a battery pack and updated some quantities and weights, resulting in the higher overall base weight. Downsides to the ProTrail are that it's not as large of a floor area and is not as flexible in that it is a one-piece tarp/bugnet system. Upsides are the weight and ease/speed of setup.
