Picture from Peak1 Web Site |
I do still have a tent - A Peak1 Aries tent. Its a double wall two
person tent that sets up in about 5 minutes and has plenty of room. It's stayed
dry through hard rainstorms, just make sure you vent it well |

Poncho/Tarp |

Tarps have great
versatility, they can be set up in a variety of ways depending on the
location, weather, and needs. To set up a tarp I usually use my custom
Moonbow tarp/poncho. If your interested in once, contact
Moonbow. Use some light nylon
string to suspend it between trees or using hiking poles. All you need is
about 6 stakes, some cord, and a pole or two. I use a small piece of plastic
as a ground cloth and my hiking poles as supports. Bad for bugs since I
don't own a net yet. An interesting point is that Earl Schaffer (first
AT thru hiker) abandoned his tent for a poncho shelter early in his long walk. |

4 mini carabineers and 12'
string |
Good for food bagging, clothes
line, etc. I removed the inside strings to make it a little lighter, and
the cord is still strong enough for what I need. |
