>Opinions wanted on small-packing free-stneding tents. I'm considering a >Moss Outland or Starlet, but see in the Campmore catalog a few Eurekas >that claim to pack nearly as small: the Backcountry2, Mountain Pass 2XT, >Zephyr and Clip Timberlight XT2. I have a Timberlight A Frame I bought for backpacking and now use in the kayak. It weighs about 4lbs and packs about 6x18" or so. I dislike the way the mosquito netting hangs down and gives you very little room. There's no way to hold it up frpm the outside. I'm going to experiment with some sort of sticks/stakes/posts in the 4 corners from the inside to see if I can hold it up that way. If you're out with someone else, I hope the two of you are very, very friendly as it is really a one person tent. One the other hand, I also have the annex extension which I really like a lot but I don't pack it on tour. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Apr 21 1999 - 13:45:10 PDT
