Yippee! I'm so happy - can't wait for it to arrive - think they'd mind at work if I put the new tent up as soon as it arrives?

look on my other thread and admire my new baby!

You should be real happy with it. THe design is very very similar to my Kelty Clark Tent, about the same weight too. I have no real complaints - just don't expect to get dressed inside it, at least not unless your EXTREMELY limber.

Either she's really limber or she changes outside the tent. Looks like a win-win situation to me.

Twinks good pick on the MH tent! I have alot of there clothing and if their tents are as good you will love it.
Is a 20* bag going to be warm enough for you? I know you sleep cold.

LT - the 20 degree bag should be fine for now. Next winter I want to get a down bag for really cold weather. I think one of the big problems last winter was the bag I did have was way too big for me. And the bag in the Whites was an old piece of crap (no offense MadRiver :) without a proper mummy top AND....I hadn't learned to use my sleeping pad with the hammock.

Besides, its fun getting new gear!

Twinks....nice choices....I use a MH tent and love it....hope you put all that new gear to use and give it some character otherwise it's just another piece of crap sitting in your house.

Lumberzac.....old gear has character

New gear is for show-offs, newbies and other assorted materialistic wannabes....

Twinks- The Mountain light bags are something like 20% off because EMS is having a sale. I just bought one of the zero degree bags. They also have a Mountain Light -20 degree bag.

EMS Mountain light 0 degree bag
