I've been looking at the supertarp and paratarp. I want a tarp shelter primarily for the weight and the ability to use a stove. My current tent is an REI passage 1, which is narrow and heavy (4 pounds). Is the size of the supertarp worth the extra money? Seems like the extra weight isn't a big deal. And for tarps in general are all the extra stakes needed a hassle in rocky ground, and are the weight savings noticable after adding stakes, rope and bivy or ground cloth (I would use trekking poles or sticks)? Thanks in advance
