    Signifigant weight saver.....sorta

    Greetings all....yesterday I modified my CRL and dropped the weight by one mini-biner

    Today I made mods to the tarp which reduced it's weight by 2-heavy plastic triangles and 2 mini-biners. I am positive I'll notice the weight difference.

    I think you should spend more time in the Hammy thinking about what you just posted
    One good morning dumpage would easily solve all your weight issues vs going to this extreme
    You should have weighed your weight savings to make the thread complete hahaha
