I saw the 8000mm rating - that's good, not like my big 4 season, but much better than most tents. I don't doubt it's worth the money, but there is a bit of sticker shock. > Most very light tents, like the MSR Zoids, and Clipflash or whatever > have light material in the floor, so you end up taking a footprint or True. With the solo tent I got, I've decided to forgo the footprint and sacrifice the tent a bit. It was marked down as discontinued, then put on sale. When I bought it, the last one in stock, they found it was missing the pegs, so they discounted it further. It was so cheap that I'm treating it as a throw-away. It should only last about ten years* :-) Mike *my Timberline lasted 21 seasons of abuse, so ten years is a short life. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
