OK, one more question, then I promise to stop hogging this thread
Let's say you go out and there is a horrific wind. Can you set it up without the poles and still get a tight, wind-worthy pitch? This is something you may want to practice with in the backyard.

Ridiculously awesome. I want one.
I didn't try it, but I beleive that Paul stated somewhere that it is built to work w/wo the poles.Originally Posted by MAD777

We are now ready to start our way down the Great Unknown.We are three quarters of a mile in the depth of the earth.We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknow river yet to explore.What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls rise over the river, we know not. Ah, well! We may conjecture many things. The men talk as cheerfully as ever; jests are bandied about freely this morning; but to me the cheer is somber and the jests are ghastly. Powell 1869
I'm with Bill and northermark---a stove! TiGoat, Kifaru, something. But I'd guess a portajohn might be next-where would it end!
Nice rig though, very nice. Thanks for the pics. Paul's a thinker too.
Scott, I like the brown.I hope you enjoy your new home away from home as much as I am enjoying mine.
Alan here is a quote from Paul:

DOWNTOWN BROWN!!!!
Yep I keep staring at one too. If I was held up long term in a spot I'd wish for one of these. The color is really really nice too.
Are the poles carbon? did I miss what they're made of?
I guess the 1/8 oz over is due to the zing-it continuous loop prussiks on my guy lines.CFI here is the info you requested:

Thanks. I thought the brown might work. I will get a few 1 nighters this spring, but the 1st real outing will be on the Selway River in N. Idaho, in July.Scott, I like the brown. I hope you enjoy your new home away from home as much as I am enjoying mine.
