U all sure have brought me from the What If state to something approaching Knows a Little fast. I hike but have too long been in that state of arm chair adventure. Fortunately that all changed a few yrs back & all for the good. Your community is fantastic for sharing specific knowledge. Many of you have suggested specific mfg that are good, can anyone suggest which has the most bang for the Buck; are DIY projects professional - saw one out of duct tape? You all might be interested this site - WWW.instructables.com. Thanks again
for getting me on the right path
