Here is my scenario.
Currently, most of my extended stay hunts are during Idaho Archery season.
I usually just check the weather and pack a blue tarp just in case and sleep under the
stars. If I didn't kill in September and find myself hunting my A-tag rifle the last week
of October I sleep out in a bivy and maybe my old blue tarp, but things have changed
since we had a baby last fall and I now have goats, I will be camping and scouting this
summer with my wife and baby. We don't need a ton of room, but would the Super Tarp
or Tut be a better option to cover my bases with the family all summer as well as archery
and rifle season? Too many options and I know it would be best to have 2 shelters, but
I'm going for 1 shelter. I have listened to all the podcasts regarding this topic as well, but
not being able to physically see one before I buy makes things very hard. Anyone in the
Coeur d' Alene area have a Tut and Super Tarp I could check out?

I would not suggest a Supertarp for what you'e described.....ever. I would take it out of the selection process.

The Supertarp is perfect for one guy/gal, works for two in a pinch, but that's it.

So the Tut would be my suggestion for sure.

O.K.
So in that case does a person just go up to the Sawtooth?

The tut looks awesome. I like that it has tie outs at all mid points so you can really pitch the walls vertically. It seems, like most Kifaru gear, exceptionally well thought out. That being said I'm not sure it's worth spending $200 more when I have not one complaint about my Cimarron. I'd really like to get my hands on a tut to compare but being on the east coast I doubt that'll happen lol.

if you do get a tut take lots of pics and let us know what you think!
