Re: [RBW] Tarptent advice?
Another vote for the Spitfire. As a fellow tall guy, it has enough room (and extra) for me. I have the two man version, which actually fits two grown men (or me and my six year old and all his toys).

Re: [RBW] Tarptent advice?
And yet another vote for the Spitfire. Also have the 2 and it is quite comfy for me being both almost tall and definitely wide. Borderline Riv content - purchased mine on the advice of Grant after quizzing him on some of the more expensive tents seen in photos on the site.

[RBW] Tarptent advice?
Hey all. I am currently contemplating picking up a Tarptent to fill a need for a one person bike camping tent. I currently have the hennessy hammock, which is fantastic but dependent on trees, and a big/relatively heavy/substantial 3 person tent. I want to get something lightweight that I can use when I am going somewhere that I am not sure about setting up the hammock. I am big (6'3) and don't want any part of sleeping in open air/dealing with bugs, so would need to get one of the tarptents that actually closes up in order to be able to sleep at night. Looking at the tarptent site, it's tough to determine which of their options works best for what I am trying to do, so I figured I would ask you guys. Any thoughts on this?
