I think the "less durable/flimsy" thinking comes from the same sort of thinking that leads people to look at the hammock and say they are safer in a tent, regardless of the fact that it's the same materials. Using the Sublite gives me almost the same degree of attention as using the hammock. "You sleep in this thing? It's too light!" As if a polyurethane coating and heavier nylon makes a difference.

Tarping on the ground, with my silnylon tarp that I use with the hammock, also gets me raised eyebrows. It doesn't make sense to me, nylon is nylon, the hypothetical moose/bear/axe murderer will have no trouble going through one or ten sheets of it, so WTF irrational people, get over the not-a-double-wall-tent thing already. (Which is not directed at anyone posting here, btw, just the folks who walk into my campsite staring. "Y'ALL GONNA BE COLD IN THAT THING!" Uh, no.)

Clearly it has taken me too long to get cross country mojo going!
