  1. FS: DL Ridgerunner, Cloudburst Tarp, Lynx Underquilt, lots of extras

    I hate to do it, but I just don't go camping much anymore, so time to sell my gear. I would like to sell it as a set to keep it simple.
    Price is $500 shipped to your door for everything.

    Somewhat. You would still need a strap long enough to get around the largest expected tree, but you wouldn't need as much excess. What I am referring to is if the trees are too close, you can only...
