I like some fucking protection from bugs while i sleep thank you very much.

Now you'll say 'bring mosquito net'

and at that rate theres enough stuff may as well have a really simple lightweight tent instead

You haven't fallen for the "gear" meme, have you?

ground sheets, tent pegs and tent poles all have their place. Tarp and rope are only enough if you're in the forest.

eh, I have a two man tent that was not too expensive, easy to set up and weights only 2.5lb i'm happy with. Sure I could probably shave off a pound with a tarp but I don't especially want to, the extra effort and skill required with setting up a tarp, lack of bug protection doesn't make it worth it for me.

also tents are comfy

You can have a tarp made into a tent with a bath-tub floor. Nice and cozy. Just requires the cleverness, a few pegs, and some rope.

Lifelong tent guy here. I'd like to test out some cheap tarps (Chinese knockoffs, if such a thing exists in the tarp world, would be fine) just to try out for a few rainy nights and then re-gift it to my camping nephew.( He's getting into camping himself and his repents are dirt poor so i give him all my leftover gear and bags and shit. )

thanks.

>cheap tarps
get surplus ponchos or tarps. They are cheaper than the chinese shit, last longer (though you may have to rewax cotton ones) and can usually be combined with other similiar tarps through buttons or zippers (deeending on model) in case a larger tarp is needed. Also, they usually double as a rain / camoflage coat as well.

I agree. My go to tent is the hubba hubba nx 2 and it weighs around 2.5lb, so it's not a big deal. Reminds me that I need to spray water repellant since it's been a while.

Eric Rudolph's autobiography said he used a poncho tent during his 5+ years as a wilderness living fugitive, and I've wondered if it was Polish, but he gave no further specs.

There’s some speculation as to whether Rudolph actually lived in the “wilderness” the entire time.

Yeah, but he well accounts for all of it, and the only thing that speculation rests on is people saying "no way he could have done that without help", and yet, he explains in detail exactly how he did, which included plenty of dumpster diving and stealing grains from silos, and indeed, going hungry (in addition to the many deer and turkeys).

It's not that simplistic, he had all kinds of things going on and covers every season spanning the entire time, not just "here's the how".
