Lmao. You can stay that literally about everything that's listed on SD. $100-300 for a rice cooker? Use a pot! $300 for a pizza maker? Use some bricks! Man if this product doesn't apply to you. Then...

You're missing the point. The same is true for equivalent tarp kits selling for $20 to $30 on Amazon that also require the user to supply poles.
If this REI model were made of some exotic...

Most backpackers that are considering an ultralight shelter solution will already have hiking poles they like.

Yes -- ultralight backpackers will spend a lot of money to save half a pound of weight and a few cubic inches of space over what a tarp weighs/takes up. It's not my thing, but having done some...

Most of this is true, I would really like to see someone set up a 9 foot square of tyvek 6 feet off the ground, let alone in the time it would take to set up this one. Well designed grommets are...

For the price it seems to be a great way to give tarp camping a try. I haven’t used a tent in years and much prefer it. Without going for Cuben fiber or dyneema tarps, this seems like a good deal.

Cheap of you're trying to cut evey ounce (much cheaper to just go on a diet)
Expensive AF if you just need a blue tarp.

This tarp is lighter than Tyvec. Plus, it comes with a stuff sack, eight stakes, and six quick-attach guylines with tighteners. All the grommets are securely attached. It’s a specialized item that...

I concur. One of the most popular ultralight tents of all time, the Durston Gear X-Mid 1P and 2P are made from the same poly material that does not wet out like silnylon does.
In for one as a...

Incorrect, there are different types and ratings for tyvek. But at the common 0.22oz per sqft it would be 18oz vs 12oz for the 90sqft.
If 6 oz is a deal breaker for you, you're lazy.
