i'm doing the dd group buy. the light weight tarps are 3mx3m. they have 19 loops.weights about 640g. and the cost is £27 pounds
How on earth can they (Woodlore / Ray Mears) justify such a price tag?
Why don't they offer alternative (cheaper) versions next to these "high end" products.....that might be a better way in making people enthusiastic about starting in bushcraft.
Especially for the youngsters who start taking an interest in this way of life...it might turn them off of it with prices this ridiculous! :aargh4:
Sorry, had to let it out.................:sad6:
Buying the supertarp is a false economy, as you will only want to buy more high price products.

Granted, however the main question then is...can you afford it?
I am married to a lovely woman who doesn't mind what i spend my money on as long as the bills are paid. We both have reasonably well paid jobs, no kids and few vices.
As i have said in another thread "What the hell, if you can afford it....why not!?"
My original post needed a smile after the statement.
You may well be able to afford it but do you need it that is the question. If it was sold in a NON ray mears shop, people would probably not buy it. A parallel with that Iphone, a year later nearly half the price.
So, does it perform a lot better than std tarps ? Had time to use it in heavy rain like here in central scotland for two days ?
