Kifaru Supertarp or Sawtooth

[Charlie Brown 6]

Which would you rather have ? Looking to buy one or the other thanks!

It depends on the circumstances. If I’m going deep solo the supertarp. If I’m closer to road or vehicle the Sawtooth. If I’m going with 2, the Sawtooth.

Makes sense, think I will do the supertarp. I seen you have one for sale but i'm in newbie jail for a week so no pm's allowed! lol

That's like comparing apples to oranges. A crawl-in shelter to a walk in shelter.

 

[Charlie Brown 6]

Yes you are right I need both..

 

[Steve O]

Yeah, I’m to old to be crawling around I love my Sawtooth.

Apples and oranges
You could get a Sawtooth and a S O. or similar flat tarp and learn to pitch it like a super tarp.Save a bunch of money that way

I've had both, still have a Sawtooth. I like it quite a bit.

I like the sawtooth and hav even used it solo quite a bit. Great weight to space ratio and it had held up in some really rough weather.

My fat ass loves to be able to stand up and get dressed!!!

a sawtooth and stove, even solo- is sooo nice, especially when weather sets in.

If you are wanting to have a hot tent I recommend a sawtooth. the super tarp and the annex can work with a stove but you will most likely be fighting the annex the whole time. for an early season shelter and being solo the supertarp is a great option. but the sawtooth will be more versatile for early through late season.

I got the now discontinued TUT instead of either....

I'm in the same boat as you, looking to get a hot tent this season. When out with Friends over the weekend and got to see both a sawtooth and a seek outside tent.

Sawtooth.

I have been using the same one since 2015 and it has held up for a lot of nights and some serious weather. There might now be a better option but I haven't found it yet. A bit heavy, but tremendously spacious, great footprint, nice tall entrance, good material, great zipper, simple pitch.

For a no holds barred lightweight 1P tent I think there are better options than the Supertarp. I have spent several nights in a Tarptent Protrail LI and can attest it handles weather very well. Lighter than a Supertarp and requires vastly fewer stakes.....though you can't run a stove in it.

Being able to stand up is a joy. Sawtooth seems to be a great option but I never been in one.
