My buddy swears his $20 tarp from a gas station is better than my $150 'ultralight' shelter.
He said it's never leaked in 5 years of Colorado trips, which makes me question all the fancy specs. Has anyone else had gear that was cheap but just refused to quit?

Remember my old army surplus poncho that outlasted three fancy rain jackets.

Lol is your buddy camping or building a fallout shelter? That tarp probably weighs a ton.

My uncle used a tarp like that to cover his woodpile, but it ended up becoming a permanent roof for his dog's house. The thing survived two hurricanes and a fallen tree branch. It had more duct tape than original material by the end. What's the most beat-up piece of gear you've seen still in use?
