For the para tarp and super tarps are any of you guys using the annex? Just curious how those work and how much weight they add. I'm looking at getting one since my son took over the DST tarp but I can't imagine needing the annex if I have a bivy.
Have you done this before? Was it effective? The point of the stove and chimney is so that you can have the heat source INSIDE your shelter w/o dying of monoxide. If your heat source is outside the shelter where there is plenty of ventilation, then why not just build a small fire near the opening and save the weight of the stove and the trouble of setting it up? A fire, especially with a hastily made backwall of some stones to reflect heat towards the shelter, seems like it would be a far more effective solution to me? What am I missing? I'm really curious to know how well this has worked out for you or others in the past.You can set the stove up just outside the tarp with an open end you don't need a vestabule to use a stove
With support for the pipe and running the guy lines off the pipe, you can tip the pipe at a pretty good angle and get the stove well into the front of a Supertarp even without the annex. I've done it and it works--learned it from a post on the old Kifaru message board. Have never tried an open fire in front of a Supertarp w/out annex so I can't compare with firsthand knowledge.Have you done this before? Was it effective?
