I finally ditched my heavy tent for a tarp shelter

After 4 rainy nights in the Smokies with a 7 pound tent, I tried a 12 ounce tarp setup a buddy swore by. The tarp leaked at the seam once, but the weight savings made me a convert for solo trips. Anyone else switch and never go back?

Ugh, that seam leak would drive me nuts too, but you can just seam seal it once and forget it. Honestly, once I went tarp I never looked back, the weight drop alone makes bad weather way more bearable.
