Minifly and Custom Thunderfly on the way.

[blgoode]

What I'm going to do is give you guys a decent comparison of the 2 to show similarities and differences. I got the thunderfly with no pullouts because I like simple and utilitarian aspect and if I'm stuck in hammock because of bad weather I don't care about an extra amount of headroom. What I care about is no leak points and reducing fussing with items that will add to my brain when I'm tired, slightly dehydrated possibly and need food. Reducing and simplifying if a big importance to me.

SO- I'll get as shipped weights, weights with cordage and take both on next backpacking trip to get in use images.

Thanks. I am leaning towards a Thunderfly without pullouts as well for basically the same reasons you mentioned. Look forward to your take on it.

I added center ground steak loops to try porch mode or center a tad higher than sides.

Good call on the Thunderfly. It's so narrow and taut, I know I'll never use the side pullouts on mine. I know it sounds ridiculous but I'm seriously thinking about selling it and switching to one without pullouts. But I'm crazy like that.

Nice. Looking forward to your comparison.

Looking forward to this!

Will get a good set of pictures with both tarps soon. Trip planned in a couple weeks.

Order change. I deleted the center ground stake in the thunderfly.
So....

I'll have a mini and a non pullout thunderfly to compare soon on a 2 night trip.

Hoping the replacement thunderfly will get here before the trip but maybe not. My order got a little mixed up but I have the Mini ready to take. Total weight on my mini setup is 15.3 oz.
