The Northface had stayed put and totally intact. We have the TNF Oval 24, like it quite a bit, never been concerned about the wind demolishing it; but it does eat up a lot of space. If folks are going alone, or with someone one doesn't want to share a tent with, a tough gore-tex bivy sack might work better. Takes up much less space, and is virtually indestructable. I got the big northface job inorder to get my wife to occassionally come with me! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Feb 16 1998 - 12:59:35 PST
