I'd love to hear from someone who's tried one out. > >-- >Rob Gendreau Hi Rob, It was one of Terrelogic's units I was referring to in my earlier posting, copied below. As noted, they're solid, comfortable, and fun, but heavy and bulky. Cheers Philip T. I field-tested a sleeping ledge with a built-in tent for my employer a couple of years ago. Propably the most comfortable sleep I've ever had in the outdoors, plus a great "tree-house" feel that takes you back to your childhood. I toyed with the idea of getting one, since it would have been great for those areas where salal makes setting up a tent impossible. I even had visions of extreme West Coast sea kayaking, where you'd come into a sheltered but unlandable cove at high tide, place a couple of "Friends" (spring-loaded climbing protection) into cracks, suspend your ledge, tie up your boat, and camp til the next high tide. What brought me down to Earth (metaphorically only, fortunatly) was the sheer packed size of the unit. A frame that's strong enough to take the tension required to make fabric "solid" is heavy steel, and doesn't fold any smaller than a golf bag. Ah, well, still a good idea, once it can be made to pack small. Hanging around in Vancouver, Philip Torrens ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
