For years I've carried a Kifaru SuperTarp as an emergency shelter. I have no real reason to change other than living between a few locations. I am in a position to somewhat need duplicates or splitting gear at two homes. And I like gear.
Not sure the weight penalty, but think the SuperTarp and a few stakes are 19-22 ounces? I've used it kinda often. Glassing timber bucks and waiting them out all day, for glassing from inside in schitt weather, etc. Late season cold rains or winds. And sometimes summer thunderstorms. Just handy to have.
This would be rambling the mountains of central Idaho from 5000-7000 feet scouting, winter predator calling (day trips) and September archery type trips. Even if I go out to run a circuit of game cams or scouting I throw the SuperTarp in for emergency. This would be the same.
Any reason a Silex would not do the same but offer even more emergency protection being fully enclosed?
And for floorless.....this is a solid choice for single person early season until snow or colder temps? I don't see much traffic or reporting on a Silex, but I don't troll this part of the Slide often. Did a few searches and only a handful of pertinent threads return.
