Sean McC, I’m sure you will enjoy that 950 fill every time you pack it up and carry it on your back. I’m in Oregon too so here is a mantra for you, “At least it isn’t Seattle. A least it isn’t Seattle.” (or the San Juan Islands).
I like your price difference decision. I worked my way though college, and when I entered “the real world”’ and got an actual paycheck, I was still very cautious about spending money. When I found myself debating if I should buy a pencil for 27 cents vs 32 cents, I knew I needed a reset. Then I read some guy’s philosophy that if an item cost .0001% of his yearly income or less, he wouldn’t hesitate; he’d just buy it. The actual percent doesn’t matter. Economic times are different now than decades (and decades) ago. But the idea of, “… if the difference between this and that is only X dollars, I’ll get the better one.” - or “just buy it” - is pretty valid. I have friend who spends a lot of time - and stress - worried about getting the “right” thing. Sometimes there is just one “right thing”, but often times it makes little difference the the mistake is what’s colloquially called, “analysis paralysis”.
But now that you mentioned Cuban Fiber - have you read the Cons and well as the Pros on that tarp fabric
