My new tent and stove arrived yesterday, so naturally, I set the tent up on the living room floor last night. My wife wasn't all that thrilled with me, but I was a hero with the kids for at least an hour :-) I need to go buy some rope today or tomorrow for the storm loops. Is there a standard or guidline for the rope material (nylon, poly, parachute cord, etc), diameter, configuration (braided or twisted), or does any of that really matter? Also, it was suggested by another new ower of the same tent (and I agree now that mine has arrived) that I should buy some better stakes. Short of mail order again, all I have access to is the yellow plastic stakes that are common at K-Mart, Walmart, etc. Will they do, or is there something else I should look at? On the stove, the instructions say to only use a Primus fuel canister. I'm assuming that that is just a marketing statement and all canisters are made to the same specifications and are interchangable.... correct? Rick - happy new tent & stove owner :-) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
